American Truck Simulator Gets A Major Update Bringing Bigger And More Realistic Roads

American Truck Simulator, the venerated driving and logistics game has finally got its big rescale that went into open beta last month. The rescale has apparently made the game ‘greater than ever’ and has been under development for around six months. There is now a more realistic and wider spaced network of roads added to the game environment, thanks to the update patch 1.5.

Not just that, the huge transformation has also brought in reworked cities, extra truck stops along with the hundreds of miles of open road. Developer SCS Software said that all of these efforts have been made solely to give a closer feel of the epic United States scale. To celebrate the commendable achievement, developers have released a dubstep trailer, check it out below:

The rescale changes the world scale from 1:35 to 1:20, so now there is a 1.75x larger map. This means, longer roads and greater spaces between them to push in more features and detail.

The main features of the rescaled 1.5 patch include:

“With the different world scale comes also a longer day-night cycle and rebalancing of the economy, so the gaming experience is changing way more than would be expected through a ‘mere patch’ of an existing game,” the studio explained.
