Hi all!

While we haven't got any update on the release date of Truck Driver for PC yet, we just posted an update video for the 5th patch for PS4 and Xbox One. Of course, all the updates that we do to the console version, will also be included in the PC version once it launches.

Check out the video here: https://youtu.be/neCuE_bj9zY

We'll post the full patch notes for this patch soon!

Hi everyone!

As you may know, Truck Driver came out for PS4 and Xbox One on September 19th. After this, we partnered up with Kokku and changed developer. Ever since, they've been working on fixing bugs and remaining issues, before moving on to adding new mechanics and features to the game. We absolutely believe that Truck Driver is a great experience at this moment. But however, during this time we came to the conclusion that Truck Driver at this moment, is not yet fit for release on PC.

This is why we've made the decision to postpone the PC release until next year.

The PC platform is vastly different from the consoles, where Truck Driver is currently available on. The things we could add to the game are totally different, but furthermore, the PC audience generally has very different demands than the console audience. We recognize this and it's made us realize that we should hold off releasing the current version of Truck Driver on PC.

As I said earlier, currently Kokku is working on fixing bugs and remaining issues with the game. When this is done, we're going to focus on adding new features and mechanics, based on the community feedback we get. This is also great news for you as a PC player, as all these updates will also make it into the PC version of the game. On top of that, we're going to look into adding PC specific features before release. And that's where you come in! What PC specific features would you like to see in Truck Driver? Let us know your suggestions in the comments, or in a discussion post in the community hub. Please know, we can't promise anything at this point, but we do want to know what you want to see. Because let's face it, who knows better what should be added to the game, than the players?

Thanks to all of you for your support, and when we have more news regarding the PC version of Truck Driver, this is the place to be. However, if you're awesome, you should join our Discord: https://discord.gg/soedesco

See ya!

Hi everyone!

I have some great news, because we've partnered up with a new developer for Truck Driver! Check out this video where I tell you more about the partnership
https://youtu.be/VzH2xmUKkSM
Kokku will be taking care of Truck Driver's development for the coming patches and updates to the game and we can't be more excited. We're very confident in their abilities and their vision for the game perfectly alligns with ours, but also with yours.

First off, they're focusing on fixing the remaining issues in the console version. After that we'll be looking into adding more content and features! Be on the lookout for more info on the PC version of the game though, because we'll have more news about that soon.

Seeya!

Hi all!

Hi everyone!

We've just posted the first of three episodes in the Truck Driver Feature Showcase! This series will explain all you'll need to know to get started on your journey in Truck Driver.
https://youtu.be/Z_kjzKjl2pg
In the first episode of the Truck Driver mini series, we take a look at the characters in the world of Truck Driver. As you explore the world of Truck Driver, you’ll run into several of the local residents who all have their reasons to need the services of a trucker. Each character has their own story. They give the player a variety of missions involving all sorts of cargo that need to be transported to different places. In the video, players get introduced to some of these characters, such as the lumberjack Sven, rivaling siblings Iona and Andrei and successful entrepreneur David.

The next two episodes will be posted weekly, so subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on Truck Driver and more! https://www.youtube.com/user/SOEDESCO?sub_confirmation=1

Hi everyone!

We're receiving a bunch of questions from you guys regarding pre-ordering Truck Driver. For Steam, pre-ordering will not be available as Valve encourages us specifically not to do so in regards to page visibility and traffic. However, you can still wishlist the game, which really helps us out and helps you stay up to date on news, future sales and when it comes out!

Furthermore, if you also play on console, Truck Driver is now available for digital pre-order on Xbox One with a limited time 10% pre-order discount! Check it out here: https://www.microsoft.com/p/truck-driver/c2hqvxvvlmkg

Of course a PS4 EU pre-order is also on its way, but at this moment that's depending on Sony. We'd rather have it up sooner than later of course ;)

That's all for now! Stand by for more updates, join our Discord server: https://discord.gg/soedesco and subscribe to us on YouTube while you're at it: https://www.youtube.com/user/SOEDESCO?sub_confirmation=1

Thanks, seeya!
