Euro Truck Simulator 2 Hits Record Player Numbers

Euro Truck Simulator 2 has reached a new peak of 72,678 concurrent players on Steam, exceeding its previous record 13 years after its initial release in 2012.

New Scandinavian DLC Drives Interest

Long-Lasting Appeal of Realism

Praised for its realism, Euro Truck Simulator 2 continues to captivate players. The game features calm, scenic drives that appeal even to those without trucking expertise, fostering a meditative gameplay experience.
