California, Nevada and Arizona ship at launch. The contract is: pick up cargo, deliver it, get paid. What the game does with that premise over hundreds of hours is something that has earned it a devoted following that neither quite understands nor particularly questions why a driving simulator is this compelling.

American Truck Simulator is a long-haul trucking simulation developed by SCS Software in Prague, the same studio behind Euro Truck Simulator 2. The player founds a trucking company, takes on delivery contracts, earns money and upgrades — first their driver, then their truck, then their fleet — while crossing a condensed but meticulous recreation of the American road landscape. The simulation captures the specific visual and cultural geography of each state: the Mojave's bleached mesas, Oregon's forested mountain passes, Texas' endless flat highways, Washington's coastal fog. Trucks are licensed from Kenworth, Peterbilt, Volvo, International, Mack, Freightliner and Western Star, with full customisation of parts and paint. Over twenty state DLC packs have been released, with SCS committed to eventually covering the entire contiguous United States. Steam Workshop supports community-created cargo, paint and truck mods. The third-party TruckersMP mod adds a full online multiplayer server where thousands of players drive simultaneously.

Key Features: • Long-haul trucking simulation across a growing recreation of the United States • Licensed trucks: Kenworth, Peterbilt, Volvo, Mack, Freightliner, Western Star + more • Company management: hire drivers, expand your fleet, take freight contracts • 20+ state DLC
