SCS Software 2025: A Year in Review and a Look Ahead

As we close the chapter on 2025 and look forward to 2026, the team at SCS Software reflects on a pivotal year of growth and innovation for Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator. This progress was powered by our incredible community and dedicated development team. Join us as we recap the key milestones and share a glimpse of the road ahead.

2025: A Year of Major Expansions and Core Updates

The past year was one of the most significant in the studio’s history, with both flagship titles receiving substantial content and foundational improvements.

New Horizons: Map Expansions and Reworks

Drivers explored new territories with the release of major map expansions like Nordic Horizons for ETS2 and Louisiana for ATS. Ambitious rework projects, including the ongoing Route 66 and Project Benelux, continued to revitalize the core map with modern visuals and enhanced detail.

Enhancing the Journey: Gameplay and Features

Beyond new landscapes, 2025 introduced impactful gameplay modules. The Driving Academy provided a structured learning environment for newcomers, while the Truck Driving Proficiency system added a new layer of skill-based challenges for veterans. Multiple game updates refined physics, graphics, and quality-of-life features across both simulators.
