It’s me again with another development update for Gas Station Simulator – Drive-In Cinema! 🚗 In the last episode, we delved into some crucial mechanics in the DLC – the projector, popcorn machine, and Drive-In Cinema’s renown system. If you’re curious to learn more about those, click this link and enjoy reading! 🔥

Now, you might be wondering what I have in store for you today. Worry no more—I’m here to answer! Today, I’ll give you insights into the ticket control mini-game and how the Drive-In Cinema cleaning system will work. Additionally, we’ll dive into the nitty-gritty details of some brand-new events that will enhance your cinema experience. And last but not least, I’m thrilled to finally share the release date with you! 🤩 Excited? Then let’s not waste any more time—let’s roll!


Imagine going to the cinema with a fake ticket—what do you think would happen? You’d probably get kicked out, and your chance to watch that long-awaited movie would slip through your fingers. In the Gas Station Simulator – Drive-In Cinema DLC, you’ll step into the role of a ticket inspector, ensuring that no sneaky moviegoers try to watch films for free.


Just like your gas station and toilets, your Drive-In Cinema needs proper cleaning too! Apart from those pesky customers leaving trash behind, you’ll also sometimes miss your shot at the Dennis dummy, right? At first, it might feel a little tedious—running between your station, toilet, and cinema to keep everything spotless. But don’t worry! As you upgrade your cinema to higher tiers, cleaning will become automated, just like most other systems in this DLC. ⚙️


It wouldn’t be a proper Gas Station Simulator DLC without some exciting events to boost your renown and income, right? Let’s take a look at two new events that will be available alongside the DLC.


As the name suggests, a single hour between 10 AM and 10 PM will be randomly selected. This chosen hour will be visible in the projector screen UI, and if you schedule a movie for this time slot, you’ll gain special benefits—such as increased popcorn prices and faster renown growth.


The Trending event is a special occurrence within the projector, where 1-3 random movies are selected to participate. These movies receive a special tag, making them more visible to you. During the event, ticket prices for these movies increase by 50%, providing a revenue boost.

Important note: All events start at 12 PM and last 24 hours until the next draw.


Yep, you read that right! Soon, your beloved gas station will receive a brand-new, free expansion, bringing you exciting new ways to boost your income and popularity. So, make some popcorn, grab your favorite drinks, wrap yourself in a warm blanket, and mark March 6, 2025, in your calendars!
