SCS Software has discussed work toward bringing Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator beyond PC. For players outside the existing PC community, the important point is expectation management: console development is not just pressing an export button.

Console planning has to account for ETS2's large map, DLC library, and driving controls.

Why It Takes Time

ETS2 and ATS are long-running PC simulation games with many systems:

  1. Large maps and streaming worlds.
  2. Wheel, controller, keyboard, and accessory support.
  3. Extensive DLC libraries.
  4. Mods and profile data.
  5. UI designed around PC input.
  6. Frequent updates and open betas.

Console versions need performance targets, certification, controller-first UI, save handling, DLC packaging, and platform-specific testing.

What Console Players Should Watch

Follow official SCS channels for:

  1. Platform announcements.
  2. Supported console generation.
  3. DLC availability at launch.
  4. Wheel compatibility.
  5. Cross-progression or profile-transfer details.
  6. Release window and store pages.

What Might Change

Console trucking could make the games easier to discover for players who do not own gaming PCs. It may also push improvements to controller UX, menus, performance, and onboarding that benefit PC players too.

For now, PC remains the complete platform, especially for mods and broad hardware support.
