“We work hard to keep both types of player in mind,” Šebor says. It’s by far our most-played game.”īut what about hardcore players looking for the most realistic simulation possible? I wonder if catering to them is at odds with keeping the game accessible. People were excited and already asking for more! And six years later we’re still supporting and developing it. A few weeks after launch we were surprised by its popularity-and not just among fans of hardcore driving sims. “We’d created a few other truck sims before, so we had a lot of passion and experience to put into it. “The scale of the game was much bigger than anything we’d ever attempted before, which made its development feel like a huge risk for us." “When we first released Euro Truck Simulator 2 into the world we weren’t even sure it would be popular enough to cover the cost of development,” explains Pavel Šebor of SCS. Fans of the game often describe it as hypnotic, and it really is.īut as the small development team added the finishing touches to its new game, it didn’t even know if it would break even. It has satisfying driving physics, a vast, atmospheric map and a peaceful, stress-free way about it that you can easily lose an entire evening to. But why? Well, fundamentally, because it’s good. It might seem like an anomaly, but anyone who’s spent any time in this sim’s recreation of Europe will understand completely.Ĭzech developer SCS Software released Euro Truck Simulator back in 2012, and the game has since developed a cult following-including several members of the PC Gamer team. That’s more than Artifact, Valve’s new card game, and giants like Garry’s Mod, The Witcher 3, and Football Manager. As I write this, 30,000 people are playing Euro Truck Simulator 2 on Steam.
