CPM 2 — short for Car Parking Multiplayer 2 — arrived on Steam on October 8, 2026 as a free-to-play Early Access title from developer and publisher OGames. Unlike the original, which built its audience on mobile, this sequel plants the car-meet sandbox firmly on PC while keeping its mobile player base in the same world through full cross-platform play.
Key Takeaways
- CPM 2 launched on Steam October 8, 2026 as a free-to-play Early Access title from OGames.
- The PC build shares servers with mobile through full crossplay, so the world is already populated.
- At launch the game ships 82 real-world parking and driving challenges plus Drag, Circuit, Drift and Rally racing.
- OGames states CPM 2 will stay free during Early Access and after full release.
First look: For a free Early Access launch, CPM 2 is unusually complete — 82 parking and driving challenges and four distinct race types are playable from day one, and the merged PC-and-mobile player base means car meets and lobbies feel populated rather than empty.
What is CPM 2?
CPM 2 is an open-world racing sandbox and “auto-life” simulator. Rather than a single career mode, it drops you into a living city where you customize cars, run parking and driving challenges, take part in organized races, and roleplay everyday driving life — from daily commuting to running a taxi or patrolling as police. The pitch is a “massive car meet culture and legal motorsport” in one connected world.
Full Crossplay Between PC and Mobile
The headline change for the sequel is its unified ecosystem. The PC version offers full cross-platform play with mobile devices, meaning Steam players share the same always-busy servers as phone players. You can communicate through built-in voice chat, organize car meets, pull into gas stations and auto shops, add like-minded players to your friends list, and even trade cars right on the city streets. A Google Firebase account links your progress across platforms.
What’s in the Open World at Launch
The launch build already covers a wide spread of activities:
- 82 real-world parking and driving challenges across vehicle classes — from classic and sports cars to pickups, tow trucks and heavy trucks.
- Four official racing disciplines: Drag, Circuit, Drift and Rally, with Drift and Time Attack tracks available in both solo practice and multiplayer.
- Car meets and customization — deep tuning (suspension, camber, engine, turbo, gearbox and exhaust swaps) plus dynamic vinyls and body parts.
- Auto-life roles — work as a taxi driver or patrol in police mode, issuing fines to other players.
Free-to-Play Through Early Access and Beyond
OGames has confirmed CPM 2 is free-to-play and “will remain free both during Early Access and after the full release.” That removes the usual price barrier for a sandbox that leans on a full player population to feel alive.
A note on production: OGames discloses that AI is used only for 2D art enhancement, text translation and the race-announcer voice; the core 3D vehicle and world models are hand-made.

Finally grabbed CPM 2 on Steam the day it dropped. Free-to-play with full crossplay means my mobile friends and I are in the same lobbies now, which the first Car Parking Multiplayer never really did on PC.
OGames keeping CPM 2 free through Early Access and after full release is the right call. The open-world car meet culture is what hooked me on the series, and the PC servers feel busy already.
82 parking and driving challenges surprised me — they span everything from hatchbacks to heavy trucks, so it is not just the sports-car crowd. Good first-week content for a free launch.
