If you are a console owner who has ever looked in envy at PC owners happily whiling away many hundreds of hours driving trucks across Europe and the USA in two of PC gaming's most beloved and enduring games - American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2 - wondering why console gamers have to put up with inferior knock-offs, well, we have good news for you!
After years of fan requests and countless rumours, Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator, the long-running simulation series from Czech developer SCS Software, have been spotted on the PlayStation Store and Xbox Store, confirming their long-awaited console debuts.
The listings, which appeared recently without warning, reveal that both titles are coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and even Xbox One. No release dates or pricing details have been announced yet, but the sudden appearance across both major console storefronts suggests an official announcement is just around the corner — with many fans pointing to this week's Gamescom 2025 event as the most likely stage for a reveal.
Launched originally in 2012 (Euro Truck Simulator 2) and 2016 (American Truck Simulator), the games have built a fiercely loyal following on PC thanks to their meticulous recreations of real-world trucking. From faithfully modelled cabins and licensed rigs to vast, detailed maps of Europe and the United States, SCS Software’s sims offer a unique brand of slow-burn immersion that has stood the test of time.
The move to console represents a major milestone not just for the studio but for the simulation genre as a whole. Console players will, for the first time, be able to dive into the long-haul lifestyle that has kept PC fans hooked for more than a decade.
The biggest question now is how much of the PC experience will carry over. Will the extensive library of DLC map expansions be available at launch? Will mods — a cornerstone of the PC community — find any form of support? And could features like TruckersMP, the unofficial multiplayer mod, ever make their way onto consoles?
While those details remain unknown for now, one thing is clear: console gamers are finally getting the keys to two of simulation’s most iconic long-haulers. For fans who’ve waited more than a decade, the open road is suddenly much closer to home.
