ETS2 and ATS map reworks timed for console release

For longtime fans of trucking simulation, the wait is always a marathon. SCS Software, the creators of the endlessly popular Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator, has been busy building the road for future adventures. And while they develop exciting new DLCs, developers are also taking a deep dive into the very foundations of their maps, promising massive overhauls to bring these iconic worlds up to the newest quality standards.

The core news is that significant base map rework projects are now underway. For American Truck Simulator, players can anticipate a complete rebuild of Nevada, while for Euro Truck Simulator 2, the United Kingdom is undergoing a major transformation. These projects aren’t just cosmetic touches; they aim to infuse these foundational areas with new content and expanded routes.

These simulators have established themselves as cornerstones of PC gaming, with both titles boasting impressive longevity. Euro Truck Simulator 2 has been with players since 2012, marking fourteen years of dedicated trucking journeys. American Truck Simulator celebrates a decade in 2026, setting the stage for even more history on the open road.

The goal behind these meticulous reworkings is clear: to elevate the base content to match the quality of the latest DLCs. By updating Nevada and the UK, SCS Software is ensuring that every mile traveled feels as rich and detailed as possible, setting a high bar for future expansions.

American Truck Simulator: Rebuilding Nevada

The overhaul of American Truck Simulator’s Nevada map is set to be a complete re-imagining. Instead of simple repainting, SCS will be rebuilding many locations from the ground up, refreshing existing areas while introducing entirely new routes and expanding the road network across the vast state.

This means more than just fresh scenery. The rework promises a serious expansion of opportunity for delivery routes, introducing numerous new depots that will unlock diverse and complex travel possibilities across Nevada. A confirmed addition is Fallon, situated east of Carson City, which will also finally connect missing sections of US-95, making previously inaccessible areas navigable.

Euro Truck Simulator 2: The UK Transformation

The transformation in Euro Truck Simulator 2 is equally ambitious. SCS has revealed plans to introduce several key locations into the UK map, including Inverness in the northern reaches of the map, Stonehenge, and Leeds as brand-new city destinations. Furthermore, major infrastructure like the EuroTunnel will also receive a comprehensive revamp.

This effort also involves careful consideration for future expansion, such as the planned Coaches DLC. As the UK forms a significant part of the simulator’s geography, developers are taking the necessary time to ensure these changes are handled with the depth and care deserved by their dedicated player base.

Looking Ahead: Console Horizons

While the PC development is buzzing with content updates, the long-awaited transition to console platforms remains on the horizon. Both truck simulators have been confirmed for release on Xbox and PlayStation, although the exact timing has yet to be officially announced.

Regardless of the console launch date, the base game reworkings are a fantastic step forward. They provide incredible foundational content that new players will experience immediately upon arrival, offering a polished and expansive world before any major DLC drops. As we look toward future events like Gamescom 2026, SCS Software is clearly focused on delivering an exceptional trucking experience for all platforms.
