American Truck Simulator News

How time flies! The year 2022 is behind us and, as always, we would like to take a brief look back at everything that we went through over the last twelve months.



When we glance at the combined development and progression of American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2, we can say that there are certainly a lot of positives that are worth bringing up. We have managed to release several projects, such as map expansions, new vehicles and parts, in-game features, and general improvements in numerous updates. But to top it all off, we are glad that we could further strengthen some of the partnerships with real-life brands, which, as well as this being reflected in our games last year, leaves us excited for what the future holds. We hope all of these elements helped to raise the bar once again and successfully improved the gaming experience of every player.

Check out this awesome video that showcases everything that our games and we as a company went through in 2022!

You have once again proven that you are the #BestCommunityEver and we can’t wait for you to get your hands on all the cool stuff that we are planning for ATS and ETS2 in the year 2023 (you might want to check out our annual Christmas Special Live Stream for some hints and teasers).

And as always, in order to stay in touch with all the latest information, make sure to follow and keep an eye out on our social media (Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok) this year as well. We’ll see you on the road!

Happy New Year! We hope you have had a wonderful holiday season so far and that 2023 brings happiness, peace, and health to you all. This may sound strange to some and perhaps familiar to others, but we believe this year is a Sunflower year!

What does this mean? You'll just have to guess or wait and see. Until then, we look forward to sharing more news, content, and updates in the near future.

How about a little challenge for the Holiday season? Recently, we announced that Oklahoma is the next State we are working on for American Truck Simulator, and today we are excited to share with you some screenshots from this work in progress project. Do you think you can correctly guess where in Oklahoma these pictures were taken from?



Let us know either in the blog comments below, on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram! Those who post the correct (or closest) locations will then be put into a draw to be picked at random to potentially receive a small reward. We look forward to sharing more development news about Oklahoma in the future. Until then, keep on truckin' and Happy Holidays!

We know you love sneak peeks when it comes to real-life brands and their facilities. Today, we have good information for you, as some members of the SCS team recently traveled across the pond to spend some quality time with the kind people of PACCAR, the parent company of Kenworth Truck Company and Peterbilt Motors Company.



The journey took us to the PACCAR Technical Center in Washington and to Denton, Texas, where the Peterbilt headquarters is located. We’d like to thank Brianna Potthast, Tim Lychik, and Don Palmer from Kenworth for arranging the visit to the Technical Center, as well as Derek Sancer, Hanson Morris, and Justin Tjahjono of the Industrial Design team at Peterbilt for the session at their lab. We met with these all these awesome people and are extremely grateful for their generosity and the help they have given us!



However, in addition to meeting the representatives of both brands, our goal was to gather valuable data for our future projects - reference material for multiple trucks and other content coming to American Truck Simulator.



While we are currently unable to say when will all of these projects arrive in the world of ATS, we can’t wait to update you on our progress down the line and eventually show you what we managed to create. Until then, keep an eye out on our social media (Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok) for any potential hints and teasers.

Dear #BestCommunityEver,

as the holiday season approaches, we at SCS Software are filled with joy and gratitude, and we want to share that with you. We wish you the opportunity to spend quality time with the people you love, and that you'll find ways to show compassion and generosity to others. We hope you'll be able to take a pause and savor the joy and peace of this special time, just like our development team.



We encourage you to take some time to enjoy your hobbies and passions as well, and we would be pleased if it included playing our truck simulator games. This year, our Christmas Reflections World of Trucks event is all about celebrating the values of Love, Peace, Hope, and Care in our lives. We invite you to join us in spreading cheer this holiday season.



As we reflect on the year 2022, we will undoubtedly think about the moments that brought us joy and those that brought us sadness. It has been a challenging year for many people around the globe, and we sincerely hope that the world will become a better place in 2023. If you're curious about what SCS Software has in store for the coming year, we recommend checking out the recording of our Special Christmas Live Stream. It's packed with exciting news, glimpses of upcoming projects, and plenty of hints and teases from our development teams.
