Developer SCS Software has officially confirmed the release date for its upcoming map expansion for American Truck Simulator. The South Dakota DLC is scheduled to launch on 24 September 2026, accompanied by a new trailer showcasing the state's geographic highlights. The expansion was first revealed in June 2025.

The upcoming DLC introduces major landmarks across South Dakota, including the Crazy Horse Memorial and Mount Rushmore. Players will be able to travel through diverse environments ranging from the Black Hills mountain range and subterranean mining tunnels to the city of Sioux Falls, agricultural complexes, and historic red-brick districts. Road networks across the state will be connected via Interstate 90 and Interstate 29.

While official pricing has not yet been confirmed, previous state expansions for American Truck Simulator have typically launched at around £9.99. In parallel, SCS Software is conducting open beta testing for update 1.61, which introduces a proximity exploration feature, new cargo types, and map refinements ahead of the planned Road Trip update.
