Euro Truck Simulator 2's Iberia is a Steam top seller

Players of Euro Truck Simulator 2 were just waiting to visit Iberia. the truck game's new DLC pack has landed in this week's Steam top sellers list, and it has some strong company.


Iberia is the first new region since developer SCS Software spruced up Euro Truck Simulator 2's lighting in update 1.40. Exploring the Iberian Peninsula should give drivers plenty to gawk at as we wait for more on the Heart of Russia DLC that's next. Elsewhere on the Steam top sellers chart, Halo: The Master Chief Collection, Sea of Thieves, and Forza Horizon 4 have re-entered, at sixth, fourth, and third, respectively.


Forza Horizon 4 featured twice the week it debuted, and looks like players are still coming around to the racing game's Steam version. Valheim drops again, from fourth to seventh, after an eight week stretch at first, and The Binding of Isaac: Repentance hangs on at tenth, falling from third. Horizon Zero Dawn moves up one, from sixth to fifth, and It Takes Two is still in second, players taking full advantage of the friends pass for co-op game fun.

Cruising Iberia Event

Please join us as we celebrate our new Iberia DLC releasing tomorrow, April 8th, by participating in our latest World of Trucks event - Cruising Iberia! Experience this vast, beautiful and historic peninsula, while on the job. Originating from the Ancient Greek word Ἰβηρία (Ibēríā), used by Greek geographers, the Iberian Peninsula is over 580,000 km² in size, so it's our largest DLC yet, with 49 cities available to choose from, each offering a wide array of cargoes.



We are inviting you all, our #BestCommunityEver, to take up the challenging community goal of driving 250,000,000 km while delivering cargoes to or from any city in Iberia. While you are #CruisingIberia, we encourage you to visit the many beautiful coastal cities on the north, east, and southern coasts. Iberia's two largest industrial powerhouses are Portugal and Spain. Their combined exports include, but are not limited to, textiles and apparel, food and beverages, metals, chemicals, wood products, oil refining, fish canning, rubber and plastic products, electronics and telecommunications, rail transportation and aerospace equipment, ship construction, and of course tourism.



Drivers will also have the opportunity to transport and deliver a variety of equipment and produce within the important fresh fruit and vegetable industry sector across Spain and Portugal. Newly created prefabs represent a wide variety of different farms that can be found in Iberia including large commercial farms and vineyards.



Of the 49 cities, we really want you to see at least 20 of them. So, we're offering a special reward for completing your personal goal, which will require you to deliver cargo to or from your chosen 20 cities. All jobs for the event need to be 200 km or more, so please be sure to read the rules.

And, of course, you can use your own trailer during all of this in the external market!

Iberia also features viewpoints! For the very time in Europe, you can enjoy handcrafted cinematic views, highlighting the many attractions that can be found. A sample of them are:

  • Visit the ancient port of Santander, the capital of the autonomous and historical region of Cantabria.
  • Drive over the impressive Guadiana International Bridge, the southernmost land crossing on the Portugal–Spain border.
  • View the striking Solar Power Tower of Andalusia, the world's first commercial concentrating solar power tower that took four years to build.
  • Cruise through the Port of Valencia to smell the fresh sea air in the busiest port in the Mediterranean and the fifth busiest in Europe.
  • Experience the beautiful City of Barcelona, the capital and largest city of Catalonia, known for its art and architecture.

Let's go cruising Iberia while contributing to its impressively large industry! Get ready for the journey of a lifetime, because we've only scratched the surface of what this latest DLC brings to Euro Truck Simulator 2. As always, we can not wait to hear your thoughts about this vast, beautiful, colorful, varied, culturally rich, and historic peninsula.
