Quick answer
The latest public ETS2 version tracked by ETS2Hub is 1.60. SCS Software has also published 1.61 as experimental beta context, so treat it as testing information rather than the stable version for a main modded profile. Back up saves and check mods before updating.
The latest public ETS2 version tracked by ETS2Hub is Euro Truck Simulator 2 1.60. This page is the quick version check for players: use it when you want to know what version context our guides use, what to check before updating, and how to protect a modded profile.
SCS Software has also published ETS2/ATS 1.61 Experimental Beta notes. Treat experimental beta information as testing context unless you intentionally opt into beta builds.

FAQ
What is the latest version of ETS2?
ETS2Hub currently tracks ETS2 1.60 as the latest public release context and notes 1.61 as experimental beta context.
Should I use ETS2 experimental beta?
Only if you want to test and accept risk. Avoid beta builds on your only career profile, especially if you use mods.
Do I need to disable mods after every ETS2 update?
Not always, but it is safest to check map, traffic, economy, truck, and UI mods first. These are more likely to break after major updates than small cosmetic mods.
