Overview
Description

Step into the shoes of Tanner, the undercover cop returning from the earlier Driver titles, as he infiltrates a global high‑performance car theft ring. The game lets you commandeer any vehicle—cars, trucks, or motorcycles—to chase, escape, and complete daring missions across three meticulously recreated cities: Miami, Nice, and Istanbul. With over 156 miles of road and 25 storyline missions, Driv3r blends high‑octane racing with shooter‑style action, delivering a sandbox experience that lets you explore, cause mayhem, and interact with characters from previous Driver games.

Wheelman drops you into a sprawling, destructible urban playground modeled after Barcelona, where every alley and office block hides shortcuts and chaos. With 31 story missions and 105 side missions, the game blends high‑speed driving with intense third‑person foot combat. Choose from a wide arsenal of pistols, RPGs, and more as you tackle driving‑focused challenges and on‑foot objectives, all within a vibrant, open‑world environment that rewards exploration and aggressive play.
