Comment Views: 31

Euro Truck Simulator 2 was one half of SCS Software’s Pinktober fundraising program in 2021. Sales of the Pink Ribbon Charity Packs for ETS2 and American Truck Simulator produced a combined $60,000 over the previous year. SCS published the result on November 2, after its October awareness campaign had ended.

A combined result, not an ETS2-only total

The $60,000 figure came from both games. SCS divided it into four $15,000 donations rather than assigning a separate amount to each simulator. The studio’s official report listed four beneficiaries:

  • Alliance of Women with Breast Cancer.
  • Brustkrebs Deutschland e.V.
  • Breast Cancer Now.
  • Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

The role of the ETS2 charity pack

SCS launched a Pink Ribbon Charity Pack for Euro Truck Simulator 2 and a separate pack for American Truck Simulator in 2019. The studio said in October 2021 that it had continued collecting sales income from both DLCs throughout the year and would donate 100 percent of that income. The ETS2 pack supplied themed paint jobs for the game, giving it a separate campaign item while sharing the donation pool with ATS.

Alongside DLC sales, SCS hosted a Pinktober livestream and highlighted community posts made with the themed paint jobs. The awareness activities and the sales total are related parts of the campaign, but only the two charity packs were identified as the source of the reported $60,000. The figures belong to the 2021 campaign and should remain dated accordingly.
