Taxi Life: A City Driving Simulator PS5 – Barcelona Taxi Business Sim, 460 km of Roads, Arabic Text

Taxi Life A City Driving Simulator is NACON’s PlayStation 5 driving and management game set in Barcelona, developed by Simteract. You arrive with one car and a plan, pick up passengers across the city, obey the rules of the road and slowly grow a one-car operation into a taxi company with drivers of your own. PlayStation Store lists it as a single-player game with Arabic on-screen text, and the box carries a PEGI 3 rating.

Taxi Life A City Driving Simulator: What You Actually Do

Each shift starts with a fare request. You drive to the pickup point, take the passenger where they want to go, and get judged on how you drove. NACON describes the challenge as following the rules of the road while dealing with impatient tourists, changing weather and rush hours. Smooth driving and a pleasant ride earn tips and positive reviews; running red lights or hitting other cars does the opposite.

That makes Taxi Life A City Driving Simulator a calm, methodical game rather than a racer. The satisfaction comes from learning the city, finding the quicker route through a busy junction and keeping your rating high across a long evening of fares, not from top speed.

Barcelona at 1:1 Scale

According to PlayStation Store, Taxi Life A City Driving Simulator reproduces a large part of Barcelona at 1:1 scale, with 460 km (286 miles) of roads. Instead of a fictional city loosely inspired by Spain, you drive through the districts and landmarks of the real one, which is part of the appeal for anyone who has visited or plans to.

The size matters in a taxi game. With 460 km of streets, routes rarely repeat in the first hours, and learning shortcuts becomes a skill of its own. The cover of Taxi Life A City Driving Simulator shows the seafront and its palm trees, and that mix of wide avenues and narrow older streets is what you spend your shifts navigating.

From One Cab to a Taxi Company

Driving is only half the game. In Taxi Life A City Driving Simulator there is a business layer too: PlayStation Store describes hiring employees and assigning them to cars, neighbourhoods and time slots, so the company keeps earning while you drive yourself. Deciding who works where, and when, is how the business grows beyond a single vehicle.

You can also customise your fleet. The options listed by PlayStation Store cover size, colour, the driver’s cab, wheels and accessories, and NACON’s store lists cosmetic extras such as taxi skins and dashboard decorations. Several of those extras are paid add-ons sold separately on PlayStation Store and are not on this disc.

Challenges, Offline Play and Remote Play

Alongside normal shifts, Taxi Life A City Driving Simulator offers special challenge missions in two categories, according to PlayStation Store: speed runs, where the clock matters, and traffic-rule challenges, where clean driving matters. They break up the routine of regular fares and test the two skills the game is built around.

PlayStation Store also lists offline play and Remote Play as supported. You do not need an internet connection for the main game once it is installed, and you can stream it to a PlayStation Portal or another device on your home network.

Single Player, Arabic Text and PEGI 3

PlayStation Store lists Taxi Life A City Driving Simulator on PS5 as a one-player game. There is no split-screen and no online co-op on PlayStation, so this is a game one person plays, not one for a group on the sofa.

Arabic is among the screen languages listed on PlayStation Store, alongside English, French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Korean and others, so menus and text can be read in Arabic. Spoken dialogue is in English only. The box carries a PEGI 3 rating, which means the content suits all ages, although younger children may find the business side harder to follow than the driving.

Standard Edition on Disc, Not the Complete Edition

The copy of Taxi Life A City Driving Simulator we sell is the standard PlayStation 5 disc release from NACON, with PS5 on the cover. It is not the Complete Edition, which PlayStation Store lists as a separate digital bundle with extra packs such as the Delivery Driver pack, the VIP City Guide pack, the VIP Vintage Convertible Car and the Black Cab (LEVC TX 2). None of those extras are on this disc.

Who This Is Not For

Skip Taxi Life A City Driving Simulator if you want fast racing, crashes or police chases. Speed is limited by traffic rules and passengers penalise reckless driving, so players who find stopping at red lights boring will lose interest quickly.

It is also a poor pick for families looking for a shared game, because it is single-player only on PS5. The disc will not run on a PS4 or on a PS5 Digital Edition without a disc drive, and there is no Arabic voice-over, only Arabic on-screen text.
