Now, American Truck Simulator's developer SCS Software has started testing and update to make those roads a little less lonely. Simulator games like Microsoft Flight Simulator are no stranger to updates and additional content. The good news is anyone can try it out today, and you can find the full instructions to join the beta in the link above.American Truck Simulator allows gamers to take on the life of a semi-truck driver roaming the labyrinth of roads across the United States. However, it’s important to keep in mind the whole thing is a work in progress, so the multiplayer mode should get more refined as we get closer to the official launch. In some cases, the weather is not fully synced, and cables for remote trailers aren’t rendered. Given it’s still a beta, mods are not supported right now, and players can only join if they have the same set of cargo and map DLCs as the host. Up to eight players can do the same job, therefore driving in the same conditions.Ĭalled Convoy, the new multiplayer game mode also allows you to restore your game progress to a previous save game state, which is definitely good news for those who want to return to a previous truck before entering this new world.Ĭonvoy also comes with options to let players communicate with other drivers using the CB radio broadcast. The multiplayer mode allows you to connect with your friends and drive in the same world, and you can customize the whole thing with AI traffic, time, and weather condition, with everything to be synchronized.

In other words, the multiplayer support is coming to the two games officially, and you can try it out today if you want to see what the whole thing is all about. But the good news is that SCS has apparently got the feedback, so the company has started working on official multiplayer support in Euro Truck Simulator and American Truck Simulator.
