Euro Truck Simulator
The original Euro Truck Simulator - the game which has become the classic of the genre and is still relevant today. The first truck simulation game in a European setting, with European long haul trucks! Drive freight from London to Rome to Berlin to Madrid to Prague - and many more cities - in realistic vehicles. Faithful reproduction of driving trucks on the European road. Pick up a variety of cargoes, and deliver them on time! Highly realistic, meticulously detailed models based on real trucks. Actual working instruments such as flashing indicators, temperature and low fuel warning lights, wipers, and a full set of gauges. Pan the camera around the cabin, just as if you were actually sitting at the wheel.
What it feels like
Long-distance driving in realistic conditions invites unhurried reflection and presence in the moment. Steady, peaceful driving through European landscapes with no combat or high-pressure tension. Relaxing, low-stakes long-haul driving through picturesque European roads evokes gentle comfort.
What it's about
Set in a realistic modern European setting with actual present-day cities and infrastructure. Long-haul trucking across European routes emphasizes the pilgrimage-like aspect of point-to-point journeys.
How it plays
Driving and piloting trucks with realistic controls and instruments is the definitive core mechanic. Managing fuel, cargo condition, and delivery schedules within a freight operation creates resource pressure. Picking up cargoes, delivering on schedule, and earning income from freight routes forms an economic loop.
How it looks and sounds
Camera sits at the wheel, offering a first-person cab perspective as the primary view mode. Meticulously detailed, realistic truck models and European road environments aim for authentic visual fidelity. Working instruments like gauges, indicators, wipers, and temperature warnings exist as in-cabin UI elements.
How it's structured
The game is explicitly designed as single-player with no competitive or cooperative multiplayer as core content. Multiple European cities (London, Rome, Berlin, Madrid, Prague) are drivable destinations in a continuous explorable road network. Individual cargo deliveries can be completed in single sessions, supporting casual, pick-up-and-play sessions.
