Beloved, 13-year-old simulator game hits a new Steam peak as stunning DLC lets you cruise beneath the Northern Lights

Viral clips of role-playing streamers. Bespoke gaming setups costing thousands of dollars to enhance immersion. Countless DLC expansions. I even learned today that there are competitive community tournaments going on. This probably doesn't sound like I'm talking about one of the best simulation games, but I am - it's Euro Truck Simulator 2. Despite it being 13 years since players first got their hands on it, the mania around the ETS2 has continued to swell, and in the wake of it getting a double dose of DLC and a hefty discount, it's just hit its biggest Steam peak ever.
