We are excited to share with our community that the 1.51 update for Euro Truck Simulator 2 is now officially released! Packed with new content, reworked map sections, UI changes, bug fixes and more, let's dive in and take a look at what's in store.
Before that, we have to give a huge shoutout to everyone who participated in the Open Beta phase, shared feedback, and reported bugs. Your invaluable contributions have allowed us to fine-tune content and eliminate bugs that slipped through the cracks initially. We hope that you will enjoy the new features, changes, and more that come with this update!
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 differences you can notice about the new Title Screen is the focus on a truck in the centre of the screen. On the left, you can 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 displays 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.
Germany Rework - Bremen, Kassel, Osnabrück and Magdeburg
As part of our ongoing Germany Rework project, we are excited to announce that 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 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 has been rebuilt completely from scratch, utilizing new mapping techniques and technology.
Eager to learn more 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 rediscovering these cities again! There is plenty to explore and we would love to hear your feedback, see your screenshots, and more. Be sure to share them with us on our official SCS Software forum, or on our social media channels!
