As an extra feature 'Volvo-The Game' includes leader boards that will be published on Volvo cars website with competitions and prices to be won when the game is released.

Release date is set to the 26th May 2009 and the simulation comes with three difficulty levels to appeal to a broad audience, from new comer to the experienced gamer.

Henrik Roos, SimBin Studios CEO:

"When Volvo Cars asked us if we were able to develop a Volvo racing game for PC, suitable for a wide audience and including the new S60 Concept car, we picked up on the challenge straight away. Especially since it was Volvo Cars located in Sweden that was asking. Two Swedish brands joining forces sounded like a perfect match to us."

Michael Persson, Director Global Marketing Communication at Volvo Cars:

"Volvo - The Game gives us an opportunity to introduce the Volvo S60 Concept to a much wider target group. In an impassioned way and in an unusual environment we are able to expose the interior and exterior design of Volvo cars. As an extra bonus we also have the opportunity to show the players how we have worked in a focused way over the years to enhance and develop our Scandinavian design."
