Euro Truck Simulator, Euro Truck Simulator 2 & American Truck Simulator

[Carles P.]

Hello Evoweb members, I thought it was about time for a thread for Euro Truck Simulator, Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator.

I admit, I've been an absolute fanboy since the 1.57 update for ETS 2 and the trailer at the latest.

It's a good thing that my Moza TSW Wheel and the corresponding Moza Multi Function Stalks arrived in time. And now the ETS 2 1.57 update.

However, it would be possible in general, at least it was the case with ETS 2, to play it with a controller or keyboard and mouse. So for anyone who doesn't feel like spending a lot of money on a wheel with all the trimmings.

Are there others here who play one of these three games?

I only play ETS 2 because it's constantly being developed. ATS doesn't really appeal to me personally because of the American Trucks, but that's certainly a matter of taste.

And maybe as a little tip, if you play ETS 2 or ATS (I think it works for that too), take a look at the Promods mod.
If you want to use the Promods mod, read the description carefully. Because you'll need some DLCs for it.

I can hardly wait for the release of the Nordic Horizons DLC.

Never played them, but I used to work as an English copyeditor with SCS...

This is the game I really admire and has many green checkboxes that I love about games
✅ Open world Free roam game
✅ Kind of realistic simulation
✅ Great community
✅ Reasonable pricing
✅ Shit ton of mods

I bought it, I bought dlcs, I installed mods, I tried multiplayer servers with thousands of people on. But damn, I always get bored after 30 minutes. I guess I just don't like driving that much

I really want to like it, I really want! But not all games are for everyone.

I’ve played and still play them exclusively in VR, with well over 1000 hours accumulated. Real-life trucking doesn’t interest me one bit, but there’s something magical and soothing about it in VR that I just can’t find in regular games.

I can't wait for the Louisiana DLC and the Ford vehicle pack DLC to drop.

Game is adding coaches soon as well, so you can transport passengers over long distances, not just cargo.

Well this is surprising: https://games.tiscali.cz/novinky/no...tware-hodnotou-firmy-prekonalo-bohemku-613986

AI TL;DR:

Here’s a concise English TL;DR of the article:

SCS Software, the Czech studio behind Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator, has become the most valuable gaming company in the Czech Republic, according to the “Česká elita” ranking (Seznam Zprávy + Deloitte).

SCS Software is valued at 7.4 billion CZK, slightly surpassing long-time leader Bohemia Interactive, valued at 7.3 billion CZK.

Bohemia’s Marek Španěl congratulates SCS and says Bohemia expects its most successful year ever in 2025, with estimated revenues of about 2 billion CZK.

Both SCS and Bohemia had over 1.3–1.4 billion CZK in revenues last year and expect even higher numbers this year.

SCS is about to release the Nordic Horizons DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2, adding detailed maps of Norway, Sweden, and Finland.

Bohemia Interactive is actively working on Arma 4, planned for 2027 on PC and consoles.

2025 is a strong year for the entire Czech games industry, driven especially by Kingdom Come: Deliverance II from Warhorse Studios, which should help the sector beat last year’s 6.5 billion CZK total turnover.

According to Pavel Barák (head of the Czech Game Developers Association), big studios are doing very well, but new startups struggle to break through in a market dominated by established names like SCS and Bohemia.
