Euro Truck Simulator 2 has been only available on PC and Mac since its release in 2013, while American Truck Simulator has been parked on the same platforms since 2016. Euro Truck Simulator 2 has remained popular on Steam in that time despite its age. Now, both games are heading to to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
PlayStation Network has listed pages for Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator, while Xbox added the former and the latter shortly thereafter. Specific release dates have yet to be disclosed.
Just as the name suggests, Euro Truck Simulator 2 is set in several countries across Europe as players assume the role of a cargo truck driver. As part of the game, players have to manage the costs of each trip while saving money to expand their business, purchase a better truck and even hire additional AI drivers to put a trucking fleet together.
As the more recent game of the two, American Truck Simulator has a more refined presentation while giving players the option to deliver cargo across iconic locations in the country. The game also has enhanced customization features for players’ trucks and trailers, as well as different types of brakes that can be used in the game.
In 2023, SCS Software accepted ads from real trucking companies that placed recruitment billboards in American Truck Simulator. Perhaps some of those ads will carry over to the new console ports as well. SCS has also teased that more news may arrive at Gamescom later this week.
