'Labor of Love' Steam Award 2023 Nomination for American Truck Simulator

This year’s edition of the annual Steam Awards has begun and the nominations are open, along with the Steam Autumn Sale.

We will always remember with pride the honor of Euro Truck Simulator 2 winning in two categories during the very first Steam Awards back in 2016. It would be a dream come true for all our developers working on ETS2 or ATS to see any of our games being nominated for this year's awards finals once again.

Over the past years, we continuously supported our games with updates and regular new content. We still have several big and smaller features, exciting and brand-new projects in development, along with a few map expansions and several new vehicles. We are always trying our best to transition the passion of our teams for our titles into the in-game environment and we can’t wait to show you everything we’ve been cooking on for you.

Because of our ongoing development, you will be able to nominate both Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator for the 'Labor of Love' category which is dedicated to games that are constantly evolving with new additions.

If you like our games and the love we keep bringing for them - giving us your vote in this category would be a perfect way to express that you are a member of the #BestCommunityEver!

Thank you so much!

American Truck Simulator 1.49: Special Transport DLC Update

Today, we are excited to reveal two brand-new cargos for the Special Transport DLC. With the upcoming 1.49 update, you will be able to haul a 39-meter-long (over 129 feet) wind turbine blade and a massive articulated hauler in American Truck Simulator.

To celebrate the long-requested wind turbine blade, we have made two new routes leading from Pueblo, Colorado, where these blades are manufactured. You'll also be able to find these two new cargoes on selected Special Transport routes that are already featured in the game, leading through either some of the previously released map expansions, but also located in some of the states that came out with the initial release of ATS.

This DLC update includes:

Wind turbine cargo
Articulated hauler cargo
New route from Pueblo to Trinidad (near Pueblo)
New route from Pueblo to Limon (near Denver)

Taking the wheel of a truck carrying massive cargo is no easy task. Maneuvering a truck with oversized cargo requires a skillful dance, a fine-tuned balance between power and precision. Only the most skilled truckers can tackle these distinctive missions. Do you think you've got what it takes?

We hope you are excited about this update that was requested for some time by our #BestCommunityEver. Keep in mind to check out our social media profiles (X/Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok) and give them a follow to stay in touch with the latest news!
