Taxi Life: City Driving Simulator has been out for a while now, and is a simulator all about the life of a taxi driver, and it’s just released a DLC for one of the most well known taxis. Alongside the DLC is a free update, which we’ll go into a little more at the end.
Black Cab DLC
The Black Cab DLC brings an officially licensed vehicle to the simulator, the London Black Cab. Specifically, the LEVC TX 2. While the LEVC is primarily seen around London, it has been seen around the world more and more recently, including Barcelona, where the simulators world is set. This also marks the first vehicle in Taxi Life which is right-hand drive.
You can purchase the DLC today on Steam for $3.99.
