Euro Truck Simulator 2’s “Coaches” DLC gets nostalgic with a bus-driving gameplay tease — and frustration over missing truck types
Euro Truck Simulator 2, the world’s most popular trucking simulation game on PC, is expanding its gameplay scope with a new “Coaches” DLC add-on. The expansion will introduce drivable coach buses from renowned manufacturers including Scania, Volvo, and MAN, marking a significant shift away from the game’s traditional focus on hauling cargo trailers. This diversification maintains the series’ commitment to realistic vehicle simulations and recreations of famous cities and routes.
Developed by SCS Software, the DLC remains in active development, with the team emphasizing that all shown content is still a work in progress. Pricing details have not yet been announced. The expansion arrives as the franchise prepares for a broader push into console gaming, with ports of both Euro Truck Simulator 2 and its American counterpart, American Truck Simulator, in development for PlayStation and Xbox platforms.
The announcement has sparked discussion within the community regarding development priorities, with some players expressing frustration over missing truck types that remain absent from the base game. Nevertheless, the Coaches DLC represents a significant step forward for the simulation, potentially introducing new gameplay mechanics and vehicle handling dynamics distinct from the traditional truck-driving experience.
