Hello truckers!

2024 has arrived on our doorsteps and we’re raring to go with a whole year of Alaskan trucking.

We’ve got big plans for 2024 and while we can’t get into specifics just yet - we wanted to let you know what we’re working on.

[h2]Goodbye 2023, Hello 2024![/h2]

Firstly, 2023 was a hell of a year for us. We went to Gamescom, had playtests, released Alaskan Road Truckers and even managed to release an expansion, DLC, seasonal events, and many patches to update and improve the Alaskan Road Truckers experience.

We’re so grateful to everyone who played Alaskan Road Truckers in 2023. We couldn’t have got here without your reviews, comments, feedback, streams, and videos. Everything you’ve shared with us has helped us refine our game, make it better, and has helped shape the future of Alaskan Road Truckers.

[h2]2024 Priorities[/h2]

The New Year is a time for reflection and resolutions. That’s why we’ve decided to take a hard look at Alaskan Road Truckers and work on the areas we feel matter most that will improve the experience of playing our game.

For the moment we are pausing any work on additional content for the game while we devote all our resources to bug fixing, controller and steering wheel issues, and making sure we resolve the issues that get in-between you and the full Alaskan Road Truckers experience.

We still have plans to add to our game, from adding more customization options to more content, but we feel right now the focus has to be on the core game. The next game updates from us will be all about improving the game, not about adding extra stuff. We feel that this is the right call to make now, and we hope you agree as you see Alaskan Road Truckers get into fighting shape.
[h3]Alaskan Road Truckers on Console[/h3]

We remain committed to releasing Alaskan Road Truckers on P55 and Xbox Series X/S consoles. We cannot share release date details just yet but we are working towards a full Alaskan Road Truckers release on console.

The priority right now is making the base game sparkle. As soon as Alaskan Road Truckers is trucking along nicely, we’ll have more definitive news for eager console truckers.

We know that this isn’t the news a lot of console players have been waiting for, but we hope to have more concrete information to share with you over the coming weeks.

[h2]Have Your Say[/h2]

We read every single one of your comments, social media posts, and what our community has to say on Discord. However, we want to make sure we’re hearing what you have to say clearly about the current state of Alaskan Road Truckers and also what we should be working on in the future.

We’ve set up a detailed questionnaire for you to fill out - it covers a variety of different areas related to the game and asks for you to relate your current experience with Alaskan Road Truckers. If you could take the time to fill it out, we’d be endlessly grateful.

Alaskan Road Truckers 2024 Questionnaire

Please note if you do fill out our questionnaire then do try to be as detailed and specific as possible. Everything helps us locate, isolate, and resolve the issues that matter most to you.

[h2]Merry Trucking Christmas Contest Winners[/h2]

Finally, over the Merry Trucking Christmas event we ran a screenshot competition over on our Discord, asking truckers to grab screenshots of the snowmen we had hidden around the map.

Here are the winners!

First is Bl4ckh0l3 with this jaunty little fellow:



Next is ShOoKy with a veritable smorgasbord of snow people goodness:



AncientHare gave us this beautiful snowy scene with the thickest and deepest of frozen conditions:



Four pics from Red Tiger means we got some great snowman pics, including this thicc lad:



And we have GraphiteGB who found this dapper chap:



And finally, the grand prize winner Maikon-s who was the first to find this grotesque snowy specimen:



We’ll be in touch shortly to arrange prizes, thank you to everyone who took part - and look out for our future giveaways and competitions!

That's it from us this time, we'll be back with more patches, updates, and news soon. Until then - we'll see you on the road!

Of course, new stuff is nice but we wanted to give you one last Christmas present.

Today's update doesn't just add a Christmas theme to the game, we've been hard at work focusing on performance issues. So if you were experiencing performance or FPS issues in the past, please try Alaskan Road Truckers again after downloading today's update and see if the game experience is better for you.

Our work on Alaskan Road Truckers is continual and we are making progress on the issues you report to us. We hope that this update will make the game much more playable for those of you who experienced issues related to performance, and we can't wait to see you back on the road enjoying the game.

If you do continue to experience performance (or other) issues, please don't hesitate to let us know. Every report helps us focus our efforts on the issues that matter to you - so please keep them coming, everything helps.

That's it for us this time. See you on the road, Christmas truckers!
