WheelMates is now available on Steam, developed by the Firevolt Team and announced via a community post authored by F.SnowFlake on September 1, 2026.

The game is built around two-player co-op, set inside Professor Bloom's house. Its Friend's Pass arrangement allows a second player to join without purchasing a separate copy — a structure designed to lower the barrier for co-op play.

What's included

  • Base game: A 2-player co-op adventure through Professor Bloom's house
  • Friend's Pass: A second player can join for free using the host's copy
  • Supporter Pack (separate purchase): Adds an exclusive car model and additional skins not available in the base game — described by the team as an optional way to support development

The Supporter Pack is available as a distinct listing on the Steam store and is not bundled with the base game.

For players who prefer co-op experiences with low entry costs, the Friend's Pass model means only one purchase is needed to play together — a practical consideration that shapes how the game is likely to find its audience.
