American Truck Simulator News

A few weeks ago we released a blog post teasing new content for American Truck Simulator that we started working on during the development of two map expansions. We hope today’s map DLC announcement will get you excited just like the previous two, because officially we are... Introducing Nebraska for American Truck Simulator


Located in the heart of the Great Plains, Nebraska’s vast and diverse landscape consists of prairies, rolling hills, and the crucial Platte River. While hauling cargo through the Cornhusker State along historic routes, you will have many opportunities to witness iconic landmarks and truly immerse yourself in the state's spirit, from its pioneer history to the modern energy of cities full of ever-growing industries. Our goal is for the DLC to offer a fusion of peaceful landscapes and the rhythm of a buzzing economy that's unlike any other.


We already have a wide range of topics to cover on our blog in the future and we can’t wait to show them to you. For now, please keep in mind that while this article already includes plenty of screenshots, the project is still in a fairly early phase and everything is a work in progress.


If you want to show us how excited you are about this announcement, you can already add the DLC to your Steam Wishlist and feel proud that you were ready since "day one". To stay in touch with all the updates and news we also advise you to give our social media a follow (X/Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok), as that will ensure instant alerts about any new piece of information going public. We can’t wait to see you on the roads of Nebraska!

Studios like Rockstar can capture the essence of New York in a video game, but New York is a city full of famous landmarks. SCS Software, by comparison, have become masters at capturing the essence of places of no significance. The long freeway, the vacant parking lot, the anonymous storage warehouse, the nowhere town; all are rendered with such care and detail in American Truck Simulator that they become as compelling to me as any virtual Times Square.

The latest example: Oklahoma, now available in ATS's latest DLC. Watch the launch trailer below and see if it doesn't make you want to take a road trip.

Today we are excited to share with you big news for American Truck Simulator. Our teams have been working hard to bring a HUGE addition to a legendary icon in the trucking industry....

[h3]Introducing the W900 Tuning Pack! [/h3]
[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
Kenworth's W900 design allows real-life truckers to customize their ride in many different and unique ways. We wanted to reflect this by bringing some of the most popular combinations to American Truck Simulator, as we know how important customising rigs is to our community. Turns out, there are A LOT of tuning options available for drivers of the W900, so our team decided to go big with this project.


As a symbol of individuality on the road, drivers have embraced the W900's potential for personalization, resulting in a vibrant market of aftermarket additions. A majority of the external and interior parts that are included in this pack have been inspired by these third party modifications, allowing us to bring a large variety of customisations to this iconic truck.


The W900 Tuning Pack features over 500+ individual tuning parts for both the interior and exterior of the truck, giving you a massive range of options to personalise your Kenworth W900 just the way you like it. This includes (but is not limited to) bumpers, cab door accessories, exhausts, filters, mirrors, fenders, mud flaps, exterior lights, grille, hood, roof window, chassis cover, side skirt, sunshield, deflectors, fuel tanks, headache racks, special turn light options, different headlights and headlight covers, air filters, trim options for windows, paintjobs, interior cab customisations and so so so much more; making it our biggest Tuning Pack to date!


We know how much our community loves to customise their rigs, so we've also made almost every exterior part paintable, giving you even more options! We really look forward to seeing how you get creative with this option; but that isn't all. To continue the celebration of 100 years of Kenworth, you'll also find a range of interior accessories such as toys, mugs, caps and more to have decorating your cabin.


Ever dreamt of creating and owning your own Show-worthy truck? Now you can with the option to add 'Show Truck' parts to your W900; such as rear fenders, front and rear bumpers and more! Along with these, you'll also find a variety of interior trims to match the exterior paint jobs, to help complete your rig's look. We look forward seeing you show these off to friends in convoy mode or at other virtual Truckfest events.


This massive undertaking doesn't go without credit to our teams behind the scenes who brought this all to life. From research, to modelling, to testing and everyone in-between, it really has been a labor of love and we are so happy to bring so many options to your garage.


We can't wait to see how you'll customise your Kenworth W900. Be sure to share your custom creations with us on our social media pages (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter) and we'll feature our favourite ones!
