American Truck Simulator News

Back in 2016, we partnered up with Steering Creations, Inc. to release a unique DLC for American Truck Simulator that introduced a range of Custom Steering Wheels in-game. Today, we are happy to share that we are able to continue this partnership and release a free update that refreshes the current offerings as well as introducing a new range of additional Steering Wheels for your truck!

If you already own this DLC or you are considering getting it, you'll discover 25 new wheel designs, selected from Steering Creations Inc's latest 2024 catalogue. From modern designs to retro styled wheels, you can find a variety of new options to use on your next journey.


That's not all however, as owners of this DLC will now have the option to choose between using an 18" or 20" steering wheel for their cab. We've also taken this opportunity to update the existing steering wheels already featured in this pack. It was important to our team members to give existing steering wheels a new, fresh and updated look by updating the chrome material featured on them. We hope you enjoy adding more shine to the interior of your rig with these updated chrome textures.


In total, you'll now have the option choose from over 50 steering wheels! From Wooden to Leather styled designs, we look forward to seeing how you'll customise your truck cab with these new options.



We hope you enjoy this free update to the Steering Creations Pack for American Truck Simulator on Steam. Be sure to share with us and Steering Creations your screenshots featuring some of the new wheels in your cab on Twitter/X, Instagram and Facebook!

Since the release of Kansas for American Truck Simulator, drivers from around the world have been busy hauling deliveries across the Sunflower State. However, we understand that since that time, it's been quite a busy time with various other releases, as well as the start of our Christmas Winterland event, which has been hugely popular!



With all of this in mind, we realise it may have been a bit overwhelming for those who have limited time or had other commitments during the holiday period, such as spending with friends and family. This is why we have decided to extend both Cruising Kansas & Christmas Winterland Events! You will now have until February 5th, 23:59 UTC to complete these events. We hope this creates a more a comfortable timeframe for you to enjoy both events and earn all the available rewards.



Both these events offer players some unique in-game rewards to decorate your truck & cab with! So far over 112,000,000 miles have been completed in our Cruising Kansas event. We are so close to the community goal of 125,000,000 miles, so we hope this extension can help you reach this! Want to take part? Read more here or watch our live-stream recording below which includes lots interesting info about the event and its creation.

In the heart of California's agricultural hub, the third phase of the California Rework project for American Truck Simulator is set to transform the virtual landscape around Modesto, Stockton, Fresno, and Huron. As we delve into the agricultural heartbeat of the region, brace yourselves for the delightful addition of almond and grape farms that promise a taste of California's rich farming tradition.


At the heart of this farming venture is the newly introduced almond farm depot, showcasing the prevalence of almonds in this fertile region. As you navigate through the vibrant fields, the virtual scent of almond blossoms will fill the air, creating an immersive experience that mirrors the real-life essence of California farming.


Winding through this picturesque terrain, players will encounter an extensive network of country roads, each leading to expansive farms adorned with almond orchards, grapevines, and a variety of other crops. The landscape will be a tapestry of colors, showcasing the diversity of California's thriving agriculture.


Adding to the authenticity, the update introduces the Grape Processing Factory. This marks a significant milestone in our commitment to capturing the essence of California's farming economy.


Once we roll out these exciting features, we invite players to embark on a journey through the heartland of agriculture, where the beauty of nature meets the thrill of the open road. Get ready to immerse yourself in the charm of almond groves, grapevines, and the dynamic world of farming that defines the California Rework Phase 3.

Without further ado, it's time we reveal our next U.S. State for American Truck Simulator! From Iconic Landmark Gateways to the Ozark Highlands and the beauties of the Mark Twain National Forest, today we are excited to announce that our team are hard at working creating...

[h3]Missouri for American Truck Simulator[/h3]
Nestled in the heart of the American Midwest, Missouri beckons with a blend of historical significance, natural beauty, and vibrant urban landscapes. Known as the "Show-Me State," Missouri invites visitors to explore its diverse offerings.

The iconic Gateway Arch in St. Louis stands tall, symbolizing westward expansion, while the Ozark Mountains provide a scenic backdrop for outdoor enthusiasts. From the bustling city life of Kansas City to the serene landscapes, Missouri captivates with its unique charm and promises a journey marked by historic sites, such as Mark Twain's birthplace and a taste of authentic American culture.


Drivers in Missouri will also be the first to see the iconic Mississippi River in American Truck Simulator! As the second-longest river in the United States spanning over 2,000 miles, this impressive waterway flows through 10 different States.

There is no shortage of industries large or small in this state either! Agriculture, Underground Warehouses, Food Industries and more await drivers in Missouri. We look forward to sharing a showcase of them in future blog posts. For now, please keep in mind that everything you see here is still very much a work in progress and may not represent the final product.


Excited to hear more about the development of this upcoming map expansion? Be sure to follow us on Social Media (X/Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and now on Threads!), and to add the Missouri DLC to your Steam Wishlist to keep up with the latest news! Until next time, keep on truckin'.
