The wait is almost over, truckers! Get ready to embark on an unforgettable journey through a land shaped by fire, ice, and the forces of nature. We’re excited to officially reveal the release date of the Iceland DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2, bringing the extraordinary landscapes of this island nation to your virtual trucking adventures!

To celebrate this milestone, we’re also happy to share the official Iceland DLC video trailer on our YouTube channel. Take a closer look at the breathtaking scenery, winding roads, and unique destinations that await you in this upcoming map expansion.

Iceland stands apart as one of Earth's most extraordinary places, offering a remarkable variety of landscapes shaped by volcanic activity and ancient glaciers. From towering volcanoes and vast ice fields to dramatic coastlines, black sand beaches, and powerful waterfalls, there is something incredible waiting around every corner. Now, you’ll have the opportunity to experience these natural wonders from behind the wheel of your truck!

With 14 cities and settlements to explore, including Reykjavík and Akureyri, there will be plenty of new destinations to discover along your journey. You’ll travel along the iconic Ring Road, connecting lively urban areas, quiet settlements, rugged coastlines, and remote corners of the island, with every route offering a different glimpse into Iceland’s unique character.

Along the way, you’ll encounter some of Iceland’s most recognisable natural landmarks, including Jökulsárlón, Goðafoss, Gullfoss, Seljalandsfoss, Víkurfjara, Geysir, and Þingvellir, among many others. You’ll also come across narrow bridges with single-lane traffic, where drivers must give way to oncoming vehicles, adding a new layer of realism and care to your journeys. Whether you’re driving past majestic mountains, crossing vast plains and volcanic fields, or navigating roads surrounded by towering cliffs, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to take in the island’s spectacular scenery.

But there’s more to Iceland than its natural beauty! The DLC will also introduce a variety of industries and delivery opportunities, from custom-made farms and quarries to a distinctive silica factory in Húsavík. These locations will bring their own character to the experience, giving you plenty of reasons to keep your wheels turning across the island.

And when night falls, be sure to keep an eye on the sky. Under the right conditions, the Northern Lights may illuminate the landscape, creating a truly memorable backdrop for your deliveries. To make your journeys even more immersive, daylight hours will accurately reflect Iceland’s real-world timing, bringing another layer of authenticity to your travels.

The Iceland DLC invites you to experience a destination unlike any other in Euro Truck Simulator 2. We can’t wait for you to discover its winding roads, unique industries, and breathtaking natural wonders for yourselves!

We’re thrilled to finally share this milestone with our #BestCommunityEver, and we look forward to seeing you hit the roads of Iceland soon. Thank you for your continued support and enthusiasm throughout development!

We’re excited to share that the 1.62 Open Beta for Euro Truck Simulator 2 is now available for players to try out. If you decide to join the beta, we’d really appreciate it if you report any bugs or issues you encounter in the appropriate section of our official forums.

Your feedback plays a huge role in helping us improve the game, and we truly value the time and effort you put into testing these new features and changes.

DAF XG+ Emerald, Sapphire & 30 Years in Czechia Editions

With the release of the 1.62 update, we are releasing three new editions of the DAF XG+! The Emerald and Sapphire Editions bring distinctive green and blue paint jobs, exclusive exterior accessories, and specially designed interiors, offering drivers a stylish new way to personalise their trucks.

The third addition, the DAF XG+ 30 Years in Czechia Edition, celebrates three decades of DAF in the Czech Republic with a special anniversary design, unique exterior details, and an exclusive interior featuring dedicated upholstery and stitching. You can find out more in our blog post here.

New Garages

We are introducing new truck garage models across the entire base map and all map DLCs, so you’ll be able to enjoy these refreshed garages wherever you go. The new garages feature updated visuals both in the interior and exterior, with greater attention to detail and a more modern, immersive feel. We hope this will make upgrading your garage feel even more rewarding.

Of course, performance was also an important consideration. Bringing these new garages to the game while keeping their performance cost in check compared to the older models was no small task, but we hope we’ve found the right balance between improved visuals and performance. You can read more here.

Improved Material System

We are continuing to expand the Improved Material System with this update, bringing it to more truck interiors. The Iveco S-Way 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.

We hope you enjoy the new beautiful visuals! You can read more about this topic here.

Goodyear Tyres Pack Update

We are updating the Goodyear Tyres 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

With the 1.62 Open Beta, 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.

Changelog:

Map

• New Garages

Vehicles

• Improved Material System for Iveco S-Way

Enjoy all the new additions, but please remember: It's only an open beta, not a stable public version, so you may encounter bugs, instability, or crashes. It's completely okay if you want to wait for the final release. But if you're interested in helping us to get there faster, we'd appreciate all of your feedback on our forum and your bug reports in the dedicated section.

Please check our modding wiki to get details pertaining to mods for the game.

Get the Irn Bru chilled, grab yourself a Tunnock’s, and get ready for a wee trip north of the border! Today, we’re buzzing to give you your first proper look at Edinburgh as part of our ongoing UK Rework project for Euro Truck Simulator 2. So, nae messing about, let’s get stuck in and see what’s changed in Scotland’s historic capital. 


Edinburgh is a city packed with history, character and some of Scotland’s most recognisable architecture. From its historic Old Town to its famous castle, the Scottish capital has a distinctive look which our team has been working hard to capture in-game. 


Of course, no recreation of Edinburgh would be complete without Princes Street! Around this famous shopping street, players will be able to spot several of the city's most famous landmarks, including the Scott Monument, the iconic clock tower of The Balmoral Hotel, and Edinburgh Castle overlooking the city from Castle Rock. 


Another landmark players may spot on their travels is Arthur's Seat, one of Edinburgh's most famous natural sights. Rising above the city, it can be seen from many areas around the capital and beyond.

However, our team wanted Edinburgh to feel like much more than just a collection of famous landmarks. As you travel through the city, you'll encounter a mixture of busy commercial streets & residential neighbourhoods. 


You'll also find plenty of history around the city too, including churches and statues of notable figures placed throughout the city. One such statue can be found at Picardy Place, where Sherlock Holmes keeps a watchful eye over the surrounding streets! We felt this was a rather elementary detail worth including in our recreation.


Head to the waterfront and you'll reach Leith, one of Edinburgh's main industrial areas in our rework. The Port of Leith forms an important part of this district, with its docks, yards and surrounding infrastructure. 

Looking for work? Players will find a selection of delivery opportunities around Edinburgh! Head to Leith for jobs at the port or a local construction site, or venture towards the outskirts of the city, where you'll find more locations to deliver to and from.


Drivers will also be able to find their own little rest spot by the seaside, as our team managed to place the Edinburgh garage right beside the coast! You may even spot some friendly furry friends hanging around, as the Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home is located nearby.


We're also working to recreate some of Edinburgh's familiar public transport, including its trams and double-decker buses, which will help bring even more life to the city streets. Alongside this, Edinburgh Bus Station is being created with our upcoming Coaches DLC in mind, allowing players to pick up and drop off passengers as part of their journeys to and from the Scottish capital.


We hope you've enjoyed this wee look around Edinburgh and everything our team has been working on for the UK Rework! There’s still plenty more to come, so keep your eyes peeled and be sure to follow us on our social media channels for the latest news, screenshots and updates. Until next time, keep on truckin'!

We’re excited to share a closer look at three new editions of the DAF XG+ coming to Euro Truck Simulator 2 with the 1.62 Update! Featuring distinctive paint jobs, exclusive exterior accessories, and specially designed interiors, the Emerald, Sapphire, and 30 Years in Czechia Editions each bring their own unique character to the road.

Whether you prefer the elegant look of deep green, the striking appearance of sapphire blue, or a special edition celebrating three decades of DAF in the Czech Republic, there is plenty to discover. Let’s take a closer look at what these new configurations have to offer!

DAF XG+ 30 Years in Czechia Edition

The DAF XG+ 30 Years in Czechia Edition celebrates DAF’s 30-year presence in the Czech Republic with a special design inspired by the brand’s heritage. Its traditional royal orange paint job is complemented by unique anniversary logos, creating a distinctive appearance that pays tribute to this milestone.

The exterior features exclusive details, including a black air intake grille with painted trim, a matching black sunshield, and a choice of black or original roof lights. The truck also receives a unique black DAF badge, linked to the engine power configuration, with the option to switch back to the original silver version. An additional black anniversary badge beneath the side XG+ badge adds another special touch.

The wheel setup also received dedicated attention, with exclusive rear wheel covers and black wheel nuts with matching caps. Completing the exterior look is an illuminated DAF logo.

Inside the cab, drivers can enjoy an exclusive Czech 30th Anniversary interior, designed specifically for the XG+ cab. The new seats feature embroidered DAF 30 logos and premium upholstery, combining black leather or high-quality Alcantara fabric accents with detailed orange diamond-pattern stitching.

The upper bunk also receives special treatment, featuring Alcantara upholstery with a subtle grey pattern inspired by the Czech flag. Together, these details create a distinctive interior that celebrates the anniversary while maintaining the premium feel of the DAF XG+.

DAF XG+ Emerald Edition

For drivers who appreciate a refined and distinctive appearance, the DAF XG+ Emerald Edition introduces a striking Forest Dawn green paint job. This rich colour is complemented by a collection of exclusive exterior details and interior finishes, creating a cohesive look throughout the truck.

The exterior features a grille with painted trim, a coloured sunshield, and a white DAF logo. An exclusive Emerald side badge further distinguishes this edition from the standard DAF XG+.

The attention to detail continues around the cab, with a black door handle featuring a painted accent, black side window trim, and a unique chassis side skirt with matching painted details for the 4x2 chassis configuration.

Inside, the Emerald Edition features an exclusive interior designed to complement its green exterior. Drivers will find dedicated floor mats and a distinctive diamond-pattern design inspired by emeralds, featured on the mattress and upper bunk. Specially designed curtains complete the interior, adding another layer of character to this edition.

DAF XG+ Sapphire Edition

Completing the trio is the DAF XG+ Sapphire Edition, featuring a Sapphire Blue paint job.

The Sapphire Edition features a distinctive black DAF logo, side window trim, and a painted chassis side skirt on the 4x2 chassis. These details give the truck its own identity while maintaining the premium atmosphere of the DAF XG+.

Three Editions, One DAF XG+

Each of these three new DAF XG+ editions brings something different to the road. The 30 Years in Czechia Edition celebrates an important milestone with heritage-inspired styling and anniversary details, while the Emerald and Sapphire Editions focus on distinctive colours, coordinated accessories, and exclusive cabin designs.

Whether you’re drawn to the anniversary details of the 30 Years in Czechia Edition or the elegant colours of the Emerald and Sapphire Editions, these new configurations offer plenty of ways to make your DAF XG+ stand out on the road. We hope you’ll enjoy discovering these new editions and making them your own when they arrive with the 1.62 Update!

As always, we’d love to hear which of these three editions is your favourite. Make sure to give our X/Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Bluesky, and TikTok a follow, as you'll receive news from any upcoming updates straight to your feed, or subscribe to our newsletter to stay informed. Until next time, happy trucking!

This Halloween, prepare to cross the veil in our Return to Brackenreach - World of Trucks event! The hidden and treacherous roads of Brackenreach have reopened for truckers in Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator, whether you are returning or entering the realm for the first time. Adventure and new rewards await, so let's roll!
This year, we are asking our #BestCommunityEver to work together towards a combined community goal of 1,300,000 deliveries. It is another ambitious challenge, but after everything our community achieved last Halloween, we know that no goal is beyond your reach!

As autumn thins the veil once more, the road to Brackenreach reopens. The three sisters who ward this land, mistresses of fire, earth, and air, have not forgotten the truckers who came to their aid last year, and this Halloween their call reaches beyond the veil once more. The marsh mist still hides the wisps that lead the lost, the tall ship still waits at the docks for tides stirred by old magic, and the pumpkins of the village still grin their crooked, knowing grins as you pass. In gratitude, each sister has prepared a special gift, kept safe until the road reopened. Help the witches and villagers once more by carrying Halloween supplies through the portals and along the winding roads to Castle Brackenhelm. Brackenreach remembers. Will you answer the call?

Your personal goal? Complete 15 Halloween deliveries across any trucking territory, including 3 to and 3 from Castle Brackenhelm, more details in the rules below.

Alongside your journeys to and from Brackenreach, you will help bring the Halloween festivities to cities throughout the homeland by delivering supplies between them. Enchanted cargo will also pass back through the portals, carrying a little of Brackenreach into the outside world, perhaps a gesture of gratitude from the witches to those who answered their call.

Our #ReturnToBrackenreach event will once again bring the magic of Brackenreach to your desktop with its spellbinding Halloween theme. We hope its lively and spooky atmosphere helps set the mood for every journey beyond the veil!

We will also be hosting a special developer live stream where we'll discuss how the event was designed, share fun insights, and enjoy Halloween in a nice and relaxed session while playing and contributing towards the community goal. Join us on Twitch, YouTube, or Facebook on Monday, October 19, from 6 pm CEST as we journey into Brackenreach!

Return to Brackenreach Rules:

Using External Contracts with a World of Trucks-connected profile in Euro Truck Simulator 2, American Truck Simulator, or both, the community goal is to achieve 1,300,000 deliveries of Halloween treats and supplies to or from any city, including the mysterious land of Brackenreach, where your destination will be Castle Brackenhelm.

There are 4 types of cargo that can be delivered in this event:

1. Halloween Treats

2. Halloween Costumes

3. Halloween Herbs & Spices

4. Halloween Crafts

Your personal goal is to complete 15 Halloween deliveries across any trucking territory, including 3 to and 3 from Castle Brackenhelm, using Euro Truck Simulator 2, American Truck Simulator or both games combined.

Your bonus goal is to discover the Witches' House, hidden within the land of Brackenreach, by driving to it.

Rewards

• Personal: Players who complete the required 15 or more Halloween deliveries will gain a unique World of Trucks Achievement plus a mystical Wisp Lantern cabin item, as a Steam inventory item.

• Community: When the community goal of achieving 1,300,000 Halloween deliveries is met, and if the player has also achieved their personal goal, then they will also receive the fabled Key to Brackenreach hanging cabin item, as a Steam inventory item.

• Discovery: When the player discovers the Witch House, hidden within the land of Brackenreach, they will receive the mysterious Ember Grimoire cabin item, as a Steam inventory item. Players will also receive last year's reward of a Spooky Horn vehicle accessory, at the same time.

Brackenreach directions:

A portal to Brackenreach appears once you accept event cargo bound for Castle Brackenhelm.  Find it on the map, a spiral icon, and navigate to it. Look for the sparkles with falling autumn leaves!

Leaving Brackenreach with cargo takes you to its destination; without cargo, you’ll be sent to a random city for a new job.

Note: In order to qualify for any community reward, you must complete at least your personal goal in Euro Truck Simulator 2, American Truck Simulator or both. Each reward will be a Steam inventory item for both Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator. Once completed, claim your reward in the Events page on your World of Trucks profile.

The event will be concluded on Sunday, the 1st of November at 23:59 UTC.

We're super excited to welcome you back to the legendary land of Brackenreach and hear tales of your journeys through the veil once more. From the misty marshes to Castle Brackenhelm, the three guardian witches await your help, with gifts of fire, earth and air to thank you for your deliveries. It means so much to all the teams who brought this magical land to life to see you return, and we’d love to see photos of your adventures as you reach your goals and claim the sisters’ rewards this Halloween. Share your screenshots and videos with us using the hashtag #ReturnToBrackenreach on our Facebook ATS / ETS2, X (formerly Twitter), and Instagram profiles, and we will share our favourite ones.
