On February 2nd, American Truck Simulator officially reached a monumental milestone: its 10th anniversary. A full decade of navigating the vast highways of the United States is a remarkable achievement, and we are incredibly proud of the journey we have shared together.
As we planned this celebration, one truth remained constant: this milestone belongs to you. Our #BestCommunityEver has been the driving force behind ATS from the very first mile. You have supported us through every update, expansion, and technical evolution. To express our gratitude, we have decided that a single day isn’t enough; we are dedicating the entire month of February to festivities, surprises, and tokens of our appreciation.
Reflecting on our history evokes a deep sense of nostalgia. Since its debut in 2016, American Truck Simulator has evolved beyond our wildest expectations. What began as a modest project has expanded into a sprawling digital landscape that captures the spirit of the American road.
The journey has seen the introduction of iconic truck manufacturers, massive map expansions, and meticulous reworks of older regions. We have introduced gameplay-changing features like the Convoy multiplayer mode, specialized cargo packs, detailed trailer ownership, and advanced tuning options. Every quality-of-life improvement and visual upgrade has been shaped by the invaluable feedback of our community, ensuring that each mile driven feels more immersive than the last.
Every update serves as a new chapter in the ATS legacy, but it is the passion of our players that truly brings this world to life. To honor this decade of trucking, we invite you to stay tuned to our social media channels and livestreams throughout February for a variety of special events, including:
- Retrospective Livestreams: Join veterans from SCS Software, including CEO Pavel Šebor and original map designers like Mrazik and Patrik S., as they share behind-the-scenes stories from the development of ATS.
- Social Media Giveaways: We will be gifting SCS merchandise and Steam keys to our followers throughout the month.
- Content Showcases: Get an exclusive look at upcoming projects, including the Route 66 Rework and new features for the Driving Academy.
- Anniversary Sales: A special Steam promotion and sales event will launch on February 19th.
- Unannounced Surprises: Keep an eye out for additional reveals as the month progresses!
We also want to extend our heartfelt appreciation to the content creators within our community. Your stunning screenshots, engaging videos, and innovative mods have enriched the ATS experience for everyone. Your creativity continues to inspire us every day.
To every driver who has ever hauled a load across our digital highways—whether you joined us at launch or just took your first delivery yesterday—thank you. Your enthusiasm is the reason we continue to build, innovate, and look forward to the road ahead.
