1.58 released for both games this week, after a short open beta period. It brings with it quite a few significant changes, including some physics tweaks and a redesigned route advisor. More infrastructure was put into both games for their upcoming vehicle DLCs--Coaches for ETS2, and Road Trip for ATS. ATS also recieved new and updated garages, as well as the Route 66 Rework (Hello, LHC and Winslow, farewell Holbrook). There was also a sneak peek at the map for the upcoming Benelux Rework for ETS2...

DLC news was light this week, with only Road Trip getting an "on the road" blog.

Blog Summary for February 16-22, 2026

Apologies for being late again...as I've been recently taking a break from simming in general, I just haven't been thinking about these weekly posts. Though I think I'm ready to come back to it!

There were 6 new blog posts this week.

Iceland returns to the blog post scene! The upcoming map expansion DLC got a blog post on Saturday, the first in a few months. We also got a post about Groningen, which will be redone as part of the Benelux Rework.

For the most part, there were a lot of behind-the-scenes blogs this week. We got an SCS on the Road, an interview with Davido, who is the lead mapper for the upcoming British Columbia DLC for American Truck Simulator, and a Meet the Team blog for the UK Rework for England and Wales.

SCS also released a special blog post on Friday about the new Route Advisor, which of course recieved mixed reviews from my observations. (Personally, I don't have an opinion about it, as I haven't touched 1.58 yet, haha)

Monday (16th): Benelux Rework: Groningen
Tuesday (17th): No blog post
Wednesday (18th): SCS on the Road: Volvo Construction Equipment Customer Center
Thursday (19th): Building British Columbia with Davido

Blog Summary for the Month of February, 2026

There were 22 total blog posts for February 2026, bringing 2026's yearly total to 39, not including this month's blogs.

American Truck Simulator celebrated 10 years on February 2nd, and the game got some nice new features with the 1.58 update, which included the rework along one of the most famous highways in the United States, Route 66. ETS2 got some new goodies as well, including an update to the Renault T. Hands down, the biggest change between both games was with the route advisor, as the little window that resides in the lower right hand corner got a major facelift.

All upcoming Map DLCs got at least one blog post in February. Iceland recieved its first post in a few months, and ATS got it's very first blog post for British Columbia (not including the introductory one). We also met the teams--that's right, teams--working on the UK rework, which includes a new familiar face if you've ever used ProMods. One new cargo pack DLC released for both ATS and ETS2 in February (Bobcat Cargo Pack).

The annual Valentine's event took place during the second half of the month, beginning around when 1.58 released and ending on March 1.

Since few month we get around 5 blogs per week. Looks like this year will set a new record of blogs.

[Maverick89]

We’ll see.

5-6 per week is substantial, but we’re still early in the year!
