Games
Bus Driver
SCS released a bus driving simulator, Bus Driver, in 2007.[2] Later in 2014, an iOS version of Bus Driver was released, entitled Bus Driver - Pocket Edition.[3]
18 Wheels of Steel
The 18 Wheels of Steel series primarily focuses on North America. The series was published by ValuSoft from 2002, with Hard Truck: 18 Wheels of Steel, to 2011, with 18 Wheels of Steel: Extreme Trucker 2.
Truck Simulator
The Truck Simulator series includes Euro Truck Simulator, published in 2008, its sequel game, Euro Truck Simulator 2, which was released in 2012,[4] and American Truck Simulator. Both games focus on truck driving in European countries, such as the United Kingdom, Germany, Czech Republic, Luxembourg, Italy, France, Belgium, The Netherlands, Austria and Switzerland.[5][6][7]
SCS Software has released a number of maps as downloadable content (DLC) for Euro Truck Simulator 2. The first DLC, "Going East!", was released in late 2013 and includes a number of Eastern European countries; adding Slovakia and Hungary and expanding on Poland.[8][9] A further map-expansion for the Scandinavia; including Denmark, Norway and Sweden; was released on 6 May 2015.[9][10] The update also included licensed Mercedes-Benz trademarks and branding.[11]
Following the success of the Euro Truck Simulator series SCS announced that the next game in the series would be American Truck Simulator, released 3 February 2016. However, it released early on 2 February 2016. The game features officially licensed American and long nose trucks; including models by Peterbilt, and Kenworth, with Volvo and Freightliner trucks likely to be added later on.[12][13][14][15] The game released with California and Nevada, with the state of Arizona releasing as a free DLC to owners of the game in June 2016. Most future states and map add-ons will be sold as paid DLC.
