Euro Truck Simulator 2 - 1.51 Update Open Beta

Today, we are happy to share with you that the 1.51 Open Beta branch for Euro Truck Simulator 2 is now available to try and test out. If you plan on participating in this Open Beta, we ask that you please help us by reporting any bugs you may encounter in the appropriate section(s) of our official forums.

Your feedback and reports are extremely valuable to our team and we thank you in advance for taking the time to help us out. So, without further ado, let's take a look at what the 1.51 Open Beta has in store.

New Title Screen One of the first and most prominent changes you will encounter in this update is a complete redesign of our Title Screen. Whilst keeping in line with our recent user interface rework, we wanted a design which is easy to navigate and understand for all players.

First and foremost, one of the main difference you'll notice about the new Title Screen is the focus on a truck in the centre of the screen. On the left, you'll find the menu which allows easy access to the more important features of the game, such as Options, and other sub-menus such as the DLC (formerly DLC Browser) and the Mod Manager, which will display the number of MODs active next to it if you have any installed.

To access your Profile Manager, just simply click your profile widget located in the top right of the menu screen.

Functionally, we have also made navigation more comfortable with a gamepad or a steering wheel, requiring less time reaching for a keyboard from the moment you launch ETS2 or ATS. This design also leaves us space to make tweaks and changes where needed, as well as make additions in the future.

We'd like to thank the community for their feedback on the first iteration of this Title Screen, which was showcased in a recent blog. We look forward to hearing your comments on this version during the 1.51 Open Beta.

Germany Rework - Bremen, Kassel, Osnabrück and Magdeburg As part of our on-going Germany Rework project, we are excited to present the cities of Bremen, Kassel, Osnabrück, and Magdeburg have been completely re-worked and are included for free as part of the 1.51 update for Euro Truck Simulator 2.

Players checking out these areas can expect to travel on new and improved road networks, deliver to accurately represented industries in the area, discover and explore landmarks and more! Each of these areas have been rebuilt completely from scratch, utilizing new map techniques and technology.

Eager to learn more details about each city and their update? You can read about all the changes in these cities in our individual blog posts which you can find here!

We hope you enjoy re-discovering these cities again! There is plenty to explore and we would love to hear your feedback, seen your screenshots and more. Be sure to share them with us at our official SCS Software forums, or on our social media channels!
