Euro Truck Simulator 2 Hits New All-Time Peak Player Record on Steam
SCS Software's Euro Truck Simulator 2 set a new all-time concurrent player peak on Steam, surpassing 90,000 active users following major expansions.
A new all-time concurrent player record has been established on Steam for Euro Truck Simulator 2. On 12 November, the peak number of simultaneous players reached 90,948, comfortably eclipsing the title's previous high mark of 73,887 users. This represents an increase of more than 17,000 concurrent players, or a surge of approximately 23%.
The massive influx of activity was driven primarily by the release of two major expansion packs. The Iceland add-on opened up the island nation, introducing 14 settlements alongside signature fjords, volcanic landscapes, and northern lights. Simultaneously, the Coaches expansion introduced intercity passenger transportation mechanics for the first time in the simulator's history, featuring buses from Volvo, Scania, and MAN.
The simulator achieved this milestone 14 years after its original release. Meanwhile, developer SCS Software continues porting both Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator to gaming consoles. Current development plans tentatively place the console launch around 2027, though confirmed release dates have yet to be disclosed.
