SCS Software, the renowned developers behind the immensely popular truck simulators Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator, have announced a temporary suspension of their long-running World of Trucks events. This strategic decision marks a significant step towards a major overhaul of the event system, aiming to fully integrate its functionalities directly into the games.
For many years, players of these detailed trucking simulations have engaged in various cargo delivery events, participation in which typically required a World of Trucks account. A consistent point of feedback from the dedicated community revolved around the inconvenience of claiming event rewards; players often had to navigate away from the game to the World of Trucks website and then manually transfer their earned items to their Steam accounts.
In response to this valuable player input, SCS Software has unveiled plans for substantial changes to the event infrastructure. The studio intends to utilize this temporary hiatus to dedicate focused time and resources to refining the foundational systems that power these events. The ultimate goal is to seamlessly transfer a multitude of event-related elements—including the ability to view and claim rewards, track achievements, and monitor both individual and community progress—directly into the in-game experience.
This ambitious initiative promises to deliver a more cohesive, convenient, and immersive event experience for all Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator players, effectively eliminating the need to switch between the game and external websites for event management and reward collection.
