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
The recent surge in player numbers coincided with the release of two new downloadable content (DLC) packages. One DLC offers routes through northern Scandinavia, while another adds realistic items such as wood chippers and mulchers.
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. Its steady pace and detailed environments keep the community engaged years after its debut.
