Overview[]

The 2022 Winter Event (also referred as Winterfest 2022 or Christmas Event 2022) was the fifth event to be released by Driving Empire. The event was released on December 19, 2022 and is expected to the end on January 6, 2023. It featured the return of Winterfest with the same mechanics from the Winter 2020 Event. However, unlike the previous Winter event, it featured a 2X present boost every hour which lasted around 5 minutes, however, the time was increased to 15 minutes, 11 days after the release of the event.

Presents[]

2xPresentBoost

The featured event gamepass.

Players can earn presents by placing in the top 3 of the Slippery Circuit race, delivering presents and for every mile they drive. They will also earn presents for miles driven in the Slippery Circuit race. Players can also purchase the 2X present gamepass for Robux 299 to earn twice as many presents from the game. The Santa’s present sack spoiler from 2 years ago does not give the player a boost in this year's event.

Present Delivery Minigame[]

The present delivery minigame is the same as it was in the Winter 2020 event. The present delivery pickup spot can be found opposite the slippery circuit teleport pad. Players must stay on the pad to receive the present delivery location. Once the bar has been loaded, their avatar will be holding a present, and there will be arrows pointing them in the direction of the delivery location. The present will be removed once the player has delivered it. Once they've stepped into the delivery location, they will be rewarded with presents. The number of presents the player receives is based on the distance they have to travel to deliver them. There are 73 different locations where the present can be delivered.

Winterfest Santa's Delivery

The Present delivery pickup pad.

On December 22, 2022, the presents rewarded for driving a helicopter were nerfed around 15%, while the presents rewarded for driving land vehicles were buffed to about 30%. In spite of the new patch, players found another method to exploit this by spawning a vehicle to get the present reward buff and then spawning a helicopter after. This was again noticed and patched by the developers by making it so that any present deliveries would be cancelled whenever switching to another vehicle. With the Helicopters now nerfed, land vehicles are currently the best method for grinding presents.

On December 30, 2022, the 2X present boost timer was increased from 5 minutes to 15 minutes.

Conversion[]

On January 6, 2023, the Winterfest event made its departure from Driving Empire, resulting all players to have their presents converted into in-game cash. The conversion rate for this was 1:25 (1 present equaled 25 cash).

As the name implies, it is a slippery racetrack with a variety of extremely sharp and/or unexpected corners. Like the Circuit Race, players will have to do two laps around the track. Players who place in any of the top 3 of the Slippery Circuit race will receive presents. Once the player has finished the race, they'll be teleported back out.

Trivia[]

  • This is the third event in Driving Empire to feature its own race. The first being the Winter 2020 Event which featured an Ice Course race, and the second being the Halloween 2022 Event.
  • This is the second winter event to be released by Driving Empire.
  • This event featured its own ice course from 2 years ago that players could do, though unlike the winter event from two years ago, this ice course is only done for pleasure as it does not reward the player with any presents for completing it. 
  • This the second event to feature a photoshoot location. Just like the Halloween 2022 Event, players may take a screenshot at Winterfest and share it to the official Driving Empire twitter account with the tag, #ChristmasEventDE2022.
  • Both the winter event's currencies from 2022 and 2020 are pretty much the same except for the slight alteration of the event currency's name. Instead of "gifts", it's "presents."
  • This is the first event to promote an exclusive event gamepass.
  • On January 5, 2023, the event's countdown timer was set to end today; fortunately, the servers were rebooted to meet the target date as planned, January 6, with the text saying "Ending Friday!".
