Euro Truck Simulator 2 - 1.62 Update: New Garages
Today, we bring you news from the upcoming 1.62 update for Euro Truck Simulator 2. As part of this update, we will be introducing new truck garage models across the map! We already gave the truck garages in American Truck Simulator a refresh with the 1.58 update, and now it is time to give them the same treatment in Euro Truck Simulator 2. As you know, we are gradually reworking older areas of the base map, with the Benelux rework being the latest addition, while the rework for United Kingdom is currently underway. Garages are an important part of the map as well, so after many years, we felt it was time to bring them up to date and better align them with the newer areas of the game.With the release of 1.62, these new garage models will be introduced across the entire base map as well as all of the map DLCs. This means that wherever your journeys take you, you can look forward to seei...

ETS2 1.61 Update: Livestock Trailer Rework
With the upcoming 1.61 update for Euro Truck Simulator 2, we’re excited to introduce a complete rework of the Livestock Trailer, which our vehicle team has reworked from the ground up. Let’s take a closer look at what changes have been made! The goal for our team was to create a model that closely matches what you’d see on the road in the real world, with a strong focus on detail. Inspired by modern European livestock trailers, our vehicle team rebuilt the trailer entirely from scratch, replacing the previous older model with a brand-new one. One of the biggest changes drivers will notice is the removal of the older belly axle variant, which has been replaced with a lowered chassis configuration featuring dual wheels. Alongside this, the trailer has been refined with improved proportions, updated details, and an overall cleaner, more modern appearance. For those who own their own Live...

We are implementing the Expanded Rest Mechanic into our games after a lot of requests from our #BestCommunityEver for this feature. This new feature gives players greater control over their rest periods by allowing them to choose how long they want to sleep and exactly when they want to wake up, instead of being limited to a predefined rest duration. Alongside this change, the Fatigue system will now be split into two separate values: Rest State and Mandatory Break, each represented by its own icon in the UI.The Rest State, symbolised by a bed icon, will now gradually deplete rather than recover over time.

1.60 Update: Game Radio
Today, we are excited to share with our community a brand-new feature coming to both Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator with the upcoming 1.60 update - Game Radio!For many drivers, music and the open road naturally belong together. Whether you are cruising through the countryside at sunset, hauling cargo across busy interstates, or relaxing during a long night drive, the right soundtrack can completely change the atmosphere of your journey. With Game Radio, we wanted to take that experience much further than a simple music player. Game Radio is a brand-new in-game radio system designed to deepen immersion, support roleplay, and make every drive feel more authentic. Rather than approaching radio as just another technical feature, we created a collection of stations with their own distinct identities, philosophies, moods, and sounds. This is Game Radio's first chapter -...

Phew, American Truck Simulator's latest beta update will tow me back to the road when I inevitably roll it trying to take a turn at 80 mph
I'm happily trucking down the highway in American Truck Simulator. The radio's on, it's a while to my next mandatory break, and there's not too much traffic. Things are going we-OH NO, OH BALLS, THAT'S MY TURN! I'M JERKING THE WHEEL VIOLENTLY, I'M TURNING, I'VE FORGOTTEN TO BR. Right, now my truck needs to be turned the right way up. Usually, I'd need to be dragged all the way to the nearest service station, but thanks to a new feature SCS Software are starting to roll out to their truck sims, I can now be neatly plopped back onto the road.

1.59 Update: Tow to Road
We are happy to reveal a new feature that will be available in both Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator with the upcoming release of the 1.59 update - the Tow to Road service. Let's take a look at how it will work!The Tow to Road feature was designed to improve the overall quality of life for players by reducing frustrating situations during gameplay.

It will also help prevent disruptions in multiplayer sessions, enabling players to continue with their convoy when they find themselves stuck, without the need to be towed to a service location, which could cause unnecessary delays.So when you are in a difficult situation, you can simply find the new "Tow to Road" button under the Service menu (set to F7 by default). After paying a small fee for the towing service...

1.58 Update: UI & UX Changes
Today, we would like to take a closer look at one of the bigger parts of the upcoming 1.58 update for Euro Truck Simulator 2 - a broad set of User Interface and User Experience changes prepared by our Game Design team.This update is another important milestone, as it touches many screens and menus you interact with on a daily basis. Some of these changes are a long-requested refresh, while others are a necessary step forward as we continue to evolve our games and prepare them for future projects we are actively working on.Why These Changes? Over the years, ETS2 has grown enormously. With that growth comes the need to revisit and modernise certain systems. Our goal with the 1.58 update is not only to refresh parts of the UI and UX visually and functionally, but also to create a more flexible and future-proof foundation that can support new features, content, and platforms down the road...

1.58 Update: Physics & Collisions Changes
As we prepare the ground for the arrival of new vehicle types through upcoming content for Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator such as Road Trip and Coaches, we’ve revisited and significantly refined the in-game physics simulation, including how vehicles behave, how they respond to your inputs, and how collisions and contact with the world are handled. To make that possible, we had to take a major look “under the hood” and revisit some of the fundamentals of how physics is simulated in our games. Some adjustments were made with these new vehicle categories in mind, often lighter, shorter, and in some cases more powerful than what our simulation was originally tuned for but many of the improvements also benefit every vehicle, including the trucks you’re already familiar with. The goal throughout all of this has been simple, to improve realism and responsiveness, while k...
