Hyped for My Winter Car but missing the Steam forums? As of December 29, 2025 (1 PM), Toplessgun (Johannes Rojola/Amistech Games) has flooded My Summer Car discussions with Early Access teasers—crunchy launch incoming (issues galore, just like MSC’s 2016 debut). Steam page live (app/4164420), December 2025 Early Access confirmed—“tomorrow” vibes (Dec 30/31?).
This recaps Boxing Day post (Dec 26): 15+ known issues (no ice race prizes, crashes @ PSK door, missing voicelines/textures/achievements). Save import: Copy MSC’s defaultES2 to MWC (new save only). Adjust expectations—playable core (car building/tuning/ice racing), but damage control streams first. Perfect for US players: $19.99 wishlist now (EA launch discount?).
My Winter Car sequels My Summer Car (10M+ sales, 96% Very Positive)—Finnish winter hell: freeze, die, tune rusty wrecks (Sorbett, Heppa pickup), ice roads/racing, apartment life (parents’ house optional). Early Access like MSC: Community shapes it (10-year MSC glow-up).
My Winter Car Release Date: December 2025 – “Tomorrow” Tease (Dec 30/31?)
No exact hour—Topless: “Early Access, unfinished, crunchy” (like MSC). SteamDB/Forums: Dec 2025; wild guesses (Dec 17/27/29/31 via lines on posts/license plates).
- Topless Promise: Free MSC update if misses Jan 1, 2026 (stream/Steam).
- Forums Hype: “31 lines = 31/12?” Pinned “Some notes for Early Access release!” edited (27→31 lines).
- Today (Dec 29): 1-2 days left in 2025—“tomorrow” (Dec 30/31). Weekday preferred (Steam support).
Wishlist Now: Steam notifies on launch—EA playable (core mechanics 80-90%, missing polish).

Set Expectations: Early Access 2025 – Crunchy Like MSC, But Better Foundation
Indie Reality: MSC/KSP/Cities: Skylines/In the Forest launched raw—community polished (MSC: 10 years). MWC: 80-90% mechanics, missing audio/graphics/story.
- More Content @ Launch: Than MSC 2016 (core playable).
- No Full Game: Death = end (perma?). Story/achievements later.
- Report Bugs: Forums—Topless fixes fast.
Review Smart: “Playable, expect fixes”—avoid 1-star rage (Topless transparent).
| vs MSC Launch | MWC EA |
|---|---|
| Raw Mechanics | Polished core + winter twists |
| Bugs | Listed + crashes (report) |
| Content | More (tuning/ice racing) |
| Updates | Damage control → features |
