BadMae: “The Illinois DLC is breathtaking! Chicago stands as one of the most immersive urban environments we’ve ever experienced in ATS—from the skyline and Lower Wacker Drive to the iconic ‘L’ train. The transition from bustling cityscapes to tranquil farmland is seamless and beautiful. Thornton Quarry is a must-see, and the hidden details throughout the state are spectacular. SCS has outdone themselves!”

DaSimSimma: “This is a significant step forward for the game. Chicago feels truly alive, capturing the scale and atmosphere of the real city with remarkable accuracy. As we move closer to the Great Lakes, these releases feel increasingly personal and immersive.”
