The 1.62 update for American Truck Simulator is now available on Steam.
Highlights are new Road Trip Tourist Boards including a Route 66 Cross-Border Tourist Board for the 100th anniversary, the Improved Material System for the All-New Volvo VNL, an updated Goodyear Tires Pack and new songs on the Escape radio station.
We are very happy to share that the 1.62 update for American Truck Simulator is now released and available on Steam!
Road Trip Tourist Boards Update
If you have been enjoying the new Atlas feature in the recently released Road Trip: Ford DLC, we have something more for you!
You can now find brand-new Tourist Boards to uncover in Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Colorado, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas, Washington, and Louisiana, with one Tourist Board added to each of these states, as well as Nebraska, which receives two Tourist Boards; a new postcard will be awarded for every one of these completed!
But that’s not all. To celebrate the 100th anniversary of Route 66, we are also adding the Route 66 Cross-Border Tourist Board with exploration locations spanning across Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California.
If you don’t own all these map expansions, you can still explore the locations available in the states you own. However, to unlock the special postcard reward, you need to own all the map expansions covered by the Route 66 Cross-Border Tourist Board and visit every exploration location associated with it. And there’s an extra treat, too. Completing this Cross-Border Tourist Board will also reward you with a special Route 66 Air Freshener accessory!
Improved Material System
We are continuing to expand the Improved Material System with this update, bringing it to more truck interiors. The All-New Volvo VNL is the latest addition to the lineup, benefiting from enhanced lighting and improved visual quality, with a particular focus on how different interior materials react to light.
Goodyear Tires Pack Update
We are updating the Goodyear Tires Pack paint jobs to reflect the company’s updated branding. The latest Goodyear logo and slightly adjusted colours are now featured across the paint jobs, bringing them in line with the current design.
Game Radio Update
We’re also bringing an update to the Escape station within our Game Radio feature! As the only stream-safe station in our in-game radio lineup, Escape is a great choice for content creators who want to share their journeys with their communities. We’ve removed tracks that were causing copyright issues and expanded the playlist with 11 new songs, giving Escape a longer runtime that better matches our other stations.
