Double Fine's first game in its new post-Xbox era is Thank You Bus Driver.

The short version

  • "Take on the role of a town’s rules-driven (and reckless) bus driver in Thank You Bus Driver!" the Steam description teases.
  • "Getting to your next stop is all that matters.
  • That might mean pulling up your map mid-turn or it might mean a shortcut through the corn field.

What happened

Avoiding pedestrians, incoming traffic, or the fence directly in front of you is optional." Thank You Bus Driver is available to pre-order now on Steam and GOG. Double Fine itself laid off roughly a quarter of its 90-person team as part of the transition, saying at the time that the cuts were needed to reach "a size that we can sustain".
