When Music Meets Mayhem: Music Drive: Chase the Beat Hits Consoles and PC on July 3
QUByte Interactive and Salve Games are revving up for the global launch of their adrenaline-fueled car combat game, Music Drive: Chase the Beat, releasing on July 3, 2025, for Steam, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch. Powered by real urban music and steeped in the raw energy of Brazil’s street culture, this title promises not just action—but a rhythm-driven revolution in gaming.
🎮 Drive, Shoot, and Feel the Beat
Step into the driver’s seat with Tina, the slickest wheelwoman in the hood, and Tunner, her trigger-happy partner, as you tear through the streets on a mission to recover stolen cassette tapes loaded with unreleased tracks. Each chase is synced to the beat, creating a pulse-pounding fusion of action and rhythm, where sharp turns and explosions move to the music.
🎧 From the Favela to the World: Real Music, Real Voices
The game’s soundtrack kicks off with an explosive debut from Brazilian rapper NP Vocal, whose lyrics bring the soul of the favela straight into your gameplay.
“Seeing my music in a game that’s going worldwide is a dream come true,” says NP Vocal. “It’s about bringing the favela to new places.”
Music Drive will continue to expand its soundtrack through updates featuring new real-world artists—turning every content drop into a playable music release.
👊 Born from the Streets, Built for the People
The game’s authenticity is deeply rooted in its creators’ backgrounds. Alexandre De Maio, director at Salve Games, shared how it all began:
“We met at Perifacon, an event that brings together games, rap, and comics. Now we’re coming back this year to launch the game.”
Lead developer Guilherme Candido, who built the game independently over four years from Cohab 2 in São Paulo, emphasized accessibility:
“I wanted to make a lightweight and dynamic game with real chase intensity. Enemies work together, surround you, and keep you on your toes—no predictable patterns.”
🎤 A Launchpad for New Urban Artists
Beyond just being a game, Music Drive: Chase the Beat aims to become a platform for emerging artists. With each update introducing fresh voices from the streets, players won’t just play—they’ll discover the next wave of urban music before the mainstream catches on.
🕹️ Retro Aesthetic, Urban Soul
With bold low-poly visuals, vibrant colors, and tons of attitude, Music Drive captures the nostalgia of retro gaming while pulsing with the energy of modern-day favela life. It’s street soul with joystick swagger, and it’s coming in hot.
Don’t Miss the Ride. Music Drive: Chase the Beat launches on July 3 for Steam, Playstation 4 & 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch!
Whether you’re chasing tunes or dodging bullets, one thing’s for sure: this game moves to the rhythm of the streets.
