American Truck Simulator News

Eagle-eyed viewers of our recent Twitch streams may have spotted some accessories in the cab of our truck in American Truck Simulator. With questions and speculation being thrown back and forth around the community, we are happy to put those rumors to bed!

There is no place like home and for many drivers on the road, their truck cab is their second home. These new Cabin Accessories allow you to personalize your cab with a collection of practical and decorative items. From power inverters to coffee cups, the possibilities for cab customizations are (almost) endless! 



The Cabin Accessories pack comes with over 100 variations of different items, including (but not limited to) food & drink for those long drives, hanging items, plushie toys, American themed items, clothing items, and much more! 


We are excited to see what items you'll choose to bring into your cab. Be sure to share with us your newly decorated cabs with us on our Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram! 



We are also happy to share with you that owners of the Cabin Accessories pack for Euro Truck Simulator 2 will also receive a free update during December, which will include some of the newer designs found in this new DLC! 

The Cascadia® is the most advanced on-highway truck Freightliner has ever offered; and today we are excited to announce its arrival in American Truck Simulator. Available to purchase from your local in-game dealership, the Freightliner comes with numerous customisation options.

Its virtual implementation in our game also includes a wide array of configurations including 12 chassis variants, 14 engine choices, 13 transmissions, 4 different cabin types, 4 interior trim options, and loads of other customization options. Whatever journey you have in mind, there will be a Cascadia® ready for the job! As a bonus, we are also including a unique paintjob as seen on Freightliner's promotional videos. This is available for the ownable 53' box trailers.



Bringing this iconic truck to the virtual roads of American Truck Simulator wouldn't have been possible without the help of the team at Freightliner Trucks, who has helped us recreate the Cascadia® in great detail. A big thank you, of course, goes to all those involved in this project here at SCS Software, from the very first contact to creating the 3D models, interiors, texturing, bug testing, and more, it wouldn't be possible without you!


We were also provided with the opportunity to rent an imported Freightliner Cascadia® and record the needed sounds for a day. You can watch a video of our recording session here! The generosity and collaboration of all companies involved have allowed this project to progress to where it is today.


The Freightliner Cascadia® arrives as a free DLC add-on for every owner of the American Truck Simulator. Find the latest update on your Steam Client (which may require a restart for some users) to receive this new addition to your library.


Be sure to share your first journey on the virtual roads with Freightliner Trucks (Twitter, Instagram) and us (Twitter, Instagram) using the hashtag #MyCascadia. We can't wait for you take a drive of for yourself.

Today, the nominations for the annual Steam Awards are opening, along with the start of the Steam Autumn Sale. You may still remember that back in 2016, our incredible #BestCommunityEver was so active during the first year of Steam Awards, that our Euro Truck Simulator 2 managed to claim victory in two categories.



However, time flies, a lot of fantastic games have been added to the Steam library over the years, and many of them have rightfully accumulated massive fan-bases as well. Meanwhile, Valve adjusted the rules such that titles launched before 2019 can now be nominated in only one category - The Labour of Love, a category that reflects that a game still gets new updates and active support years after launch. This category will surely be very crowded! But still, we may give it a collective try, what do you think? 



If you feel that either Euro Truck Simulator 2 or American Truck Simulator deserves the Labour of Love award, or possibly at least some buzz and visibility for being nominated and in the category, we will appreciate your vote and support. You can cast your vote by heading to this year's Steam Awards Nomination Page.

It took our #BestCommunityEver only 7 days to drive 60,000,000 miles in the currently ongoing #CruisingColorado World of Trucks event to pass the community goal. We are left speechless once again. Actually, you guys and gals have reached it so quickly we might even ask you to show us your cabin logbooks to check if you have had your regular driving breaks?! 



Don't worry, we're just joking here. But it's always cool and motivating to see how fast and easily our fanbase can smash the "quests" we set for them. And how many of you are always ready to immediately join the events we create for you. We also love seeing all your tweets and posts under the #CruisingColorado hashtag over at any social media challenge we monitor. Want some number? Well, so far there have been posted more than 1100 tweets on Twitter and 280 posts on Instagram! 



According to the reactions and feedback upon the rewards which can be claimed in this event, for both personal and community goals, we guess you really like the new paint job and hanging cabin accessory. Don't forget to share how it fits your favorite truck, pals! 



Even though we tried to explain it in our previous blog posts and communication over at our social media channels, we still have received some questions about the date till when this event is going to be kept active, or requests to not end this event even while the community goal is already reached. So please let us say it again here - you do not need to worry, because we will keep the event running until well after Christmas, so there will be plenty of time to relax and enjoy the ride while earning your rewards.
