Tow ’Em Away: The Precinct Rolls Out Free Update With Tow Truck, Improved Vehicle Customization and More
Leamington Spa, UK - September 18, 2025 - UK games publisher Kwalee and independent game studio Fallen Tree Games have announced a new update for The Precinct, a neon-noir action sandbox game. The update is available for free on PC (via Steam and the Epic Games Store), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
The latest update for The Precinct introduces exciting new features like Tow truck and improved vehicle customization.
Summon a tow truck: Players can now summon a tow truck to remove abandoned vehicles, clearing the streets and restoring traffic flow. Offending vehicles can be sent to the City Impound, the Salvage Yard, or if linked to criminal activity, the Forensic Unit for analysis.
Tow Truck Shift Assignment: The update also introduces a new shift assignment, Tow Detail. Players will be given tow objectives around the city, offering a slower change of pace that’s ideal when they need a break from high-octane activities.
Salvage Yard Machinery: The new salvage yard location features heavy-duty industrial machinery:
A magnetic crane for lifting scrapped vehicles
A vehicle compactor for turning them into cubes of metal
Vehicle Customization - Lightbar: The update also brings a suite of exciting new lightbar configurations to explore and personalise your vehicle, or all vehicles with. Players can mix and match with liveries to find their favorite combinations.
Unmarked Patrol Vehicles: Responding to popular demand, the update introduces Unmarked Patrol Vehicles. When combined with plainclothes outfits, they give officers the perfect tools to operate undercover for extended periods. Each vehicle comes equipped with discreetly concealed lights on the dashboard, rear deck, and grille, ensuring authenticity and immersion.
New Clothing Customizations: To support the new Tow Truck roleplay, players can now choose between two additional clothing options: a Reflective Vest and Coveralls. In addition, Kelly has been given a sharp plainclothes outfit, which will be automatically equipped whenever players select this option.
New music track: The update also debuts a brand-new music track from Gavin Harrison, titled ‘Wrecker Blues’, which has now been added to the game’s digital soundtrack.
About The Precinct
You are Officer Nick Cordell Jr. As a rookie beat cop fresh out of the Academy, you’re on the front line of defence for Averno’s citizens. Dive into a world of thrilling car chases, sandbox crimes, and a healthy dose of 1980s noir as you protect the populace and solve the mystery of your father’s murder in the line of duty.
Take to the Streets
A love letter to classic cop movies, The Precinct combines police sim with action sandbox spectacle. Patrol the streets and respond to callouts to fight criminals petty and powerful. Choose your own tactics in thrilling chases and shootouts. Feel the shifting power struggles of Averno's gangs in a living city full of sandbox crimes, from parking infractions to bank heists, street racing to drug deals.
Hot Pursuit
Speed through the city in intense car and helicopter chases and pursue your mark through twisting alleyways before bringing them to justice. There's no need to be a lone wolf: You've got Averno's Finest backing you up, with an in-depth support system that allows you to call in squad cars, roadblocks, spike strips, and more.

Chase perps through neon-lit alleys, rain-soaked streets, and grand, decaying parklands, all subject to a day/night cycle and dynamic weather. This is the 1980s East Coast in all its neon-noir glory.
