LEGO 2K Drive Update Adds Creators Hub for Sharing Custom Cars

LEGO 2K Drive launched back in May. Despite some egregious microtransactions, 2K Games’ kart racer was a lot of fun thanks to its colourful visuals, vibrant open world, and enjoyable vehicle transforming mechanic.

Harking back to the original LEGO Racers from the 1990s, one of LEGO 2K Drive’s standout features is the ability to build your own vehicles brick by brick. It’s one of the best vehicle customisation modes you’ll find in a modern racing game.

What let the vehicle creator down was that you couldn’t share cars online or download other players’ wild creations – until now. 

LEGO 2K Drive adds Creators Hub in free update

Out now, a free update adds a Creators Hub for the PlayStation, Xbox, and PC versions of LEGO 2K Drive, with a Nintendo Switch also “coming soon.”

The Creators Hub allows players to share their wacky vehicle designs online as well as browse and download other player’s creations. It’s a feature that was noticeably missing at launch in a game that encourages creativity.

In the Creators Hub, you’ll start at the Depot. Here you’ll find a showcase of the most upvoted and downloaded vehicle creations from the community.

As a blog post explains, the Creators Hub includes a number of features for creating and sharing:

• Filtered Browsing - By switching from the Depot to the Browse tab, you can peruse the ever-growing selection of uploads from other players! You can browse with a variety of filters, including Street, Off-Road, and Water vehicles, vehicles uploaded by your 2K Account Friends, and vehicles you've previously Downloaded or Upvoted.
• Vast Search Features - Along with filters, you can also sort the Creators Hub vehicles by alphabetical order, how recently they were uploaded, total number of upvotes, total number of downloads, or total number of bricks used to construct the vehicle. You can also search by 2K Account Name, a vehicle's identifying Share Code number, or vehicles made by someone on your Friends list, with the same Filter and Sort By options as the rest of the Creators Hub.
• Adding Vehicles To Your Collection - When you've found something you like in the Creators Hub, simply hit Download and confirm your decision to add it to your Garage! Whenever you visit your Garage, you'll see any Downloaded vehicles listed underneath the Downloads tab. When you're ready to get behind the wheel of any vehicles you've acquired from the Creators Hub, simply add them to your Loadout and show Bricklandia your newest rides!
• Sharing Your Vehicles - Any vehicle created solely by you in the Garage is eligible to be uploaded to the Creators Hub. All Creators Hub submissions go through a moderation process before they're shared with the LEGO 2K Drive community, giving players a selection of player-created vehicles. Each player is allowed to upload a total of 30 vehicles to the Creators Hub with any new uploads you want to make beyond that will need to be swapped in place of old ones.
