• Further fixes for stuck AI cars
  

[h2]Consoles[/h2]

October 7 brings a new map expansion, the feature-packed Update v1.3.0, the arrival of the MAN New Lion’s City Bus DLC, and the long-awaited console release for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.[/p] [h2]🚍 MAN New Lion’s City – Next Generation on the Road[/h2] [p]The new MAN New Lion’s City DLC adds six officially licensed, highly detailed buses to your fleet — the 12C, 18C, and the brand-new 19C. Each model comes in multiple door variants and features authentic sounds, precise physics, and stunning interior detail.[/p] [p]From the detailed cockpit to the customizable RGB interior lighting, every detail was recreated with care.
