Ready for another sneak peek at our upcoming Nebraska DLC? As you travel through the state, you'll encounter a network of truck stops strategically placed to cater to the needs of drivers navigating through the heart of the United States. So let's take a look at them!


The truck stops in Nebraska have a history as vast as the prairies themselves. These facilities have adapted to the ever-changing needs of the trucking industry, offering a blend of convenience and essential services. Whether you're in need of a quick refuel, vehicle maintenance, or a well-deserved break, the truck stops have you covered.


Nebraska introduces almost 30 carefully designed truck stops, each contributing to the unique feel of the state.

You can also look forward to a large number of international and local gas station brands enhancing the overall realism experience.


As you explore the upcoming Nebraska DLC for American Truck Simulator, you'll witness the attention to detail that brings these truck stops to life. Each stop is a unique piece of the Nebraska experience, offering not only practical amenities but also a glimpse into the character of the state.

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.
