Euro Truck Simulator 2 or American Truck Simulator?
They are the same game from SCS Software on two continents. You take jobs, earn money, buy your own truck, then hire drivers and grow a company. Both support online co-op, and both run on modest hardware.
| Euro Truck Simulator 2 | American Truck Simulator | |
|---|---|---|
| Released | October 12, 2012 | February 2, 2016 |
| Base price | $19.99 | $19.99 |
| Roads | Europe, with makes such as MAN, Mercedes-Benz, Renault and Volvo | US, with makes such as Freightliner, Mack and Western Star |

Pick by the roads you want to drive. Extra countries and states are sold as map DLC, so the base game is the cheap part. Both drop in price during Steam sales.
Truck simulators on PS5, Xbox and Switch
Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator are not on any console yet. SCS Software announced in August 2025 that both are coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, and said it was not ready to share a release date. We found no release date announced as of November 10, 2026.
One trucking game you can play on a PlayStation today is SnowRunner, which is sold for PS4 and PS5. It is about slow, heavy off-road driving, not highway deliveries, so expect winches and mud instead of traffic lights.
Free · no download · LifeSim
Live the trucker's life between the loads
Be a long-haul driver in a real city: a home base, a dispatcher, people who text you first. LifeSim is a free life simulator in your browser. It does not simulate the driving.
Truck simulators on a phone
Both phone picks are free to install and make their money from ads and in-app purchases. Google Play lists Truck Simulator: Ultimate and Truckers of Europe 3 at more than 100 million downloads each, and both are also on the App Store.
Neither is as deep as the PC games. If you have any laptop from the last few years, Euro Truck Simulator 2 at $19.99 gives you far more game. More games that cost nothing are on the free simulator games page.
Which one to start with
- Relaxing long drives: Euro Truck Simulator 2 or American Truck Simulator, with a podcast on.
- A puzzle on wheels: SnowRunner. Every delivery is a question of route, tires and winch points.
- Playing with friends: SnowRunner co-op, or online co-op in either SCS game.
- A weak PC: MudRunner asks for 2 GB of RAM.
- No PC at all: SnowRunner on PlayStation, or the two phone games.
Want cars instead of trucks? See car driving simulator games. And if the part you like is the driver's life between loads, LifeSim is a free life simulator in the browser where you can be a trucker, or anyone, in a real city, with AI characters who remember you. It does not simulate driving the truck.
