We just published a new update for Truck Driver: v1.31! This update focuses on adding more content in the form of the 'Parking Missions' side activities

- NEW: Revisited and changed speed limits on all roads in the game to be more logical and realistic
- NEW: Revised all engines in all trucks and adjusted steering

- NEW: Added profile pictures to conversations with clients
- NEW: Added Social media buttons to the main menu that link to the corresponding pages
- FIXED: Removed a bug where the speed limit would drop to 30 km/h on junctions
- FIXED: Resolved an issue where players would be fined for running red light while light is still orange
- FIXED: Fixed an issue where AI Traffic would drive with constant braking lights lit
- FIXED: Tweaked the turning radius for 6x4 & 8x4 trucks
- FIXED: Removed floating pieces of road in several areas
- FIXED: Resolved an issue where players’ satnav would display wrong starting location when entering and leaving a garage during a mission
- FIXED: Removed incorrect signs near T-junctions

So, there's quite a lot in here that will alter the main experience as well. Driving the truck should feel different, the AI behaves differently as well and all speed limits have been revisited. Feedback is very important to us, especially in updates like this! So please let me know what your experience is with v1.31 through the Steam Community Hub, or join our Discord server at https://discord.gg/soedesco
Have fun!

Truck Driver is now available!
Today is a great day, Truck Driver is now available on Steam! Just for the occasion, we dropped a special PC Features Launch trailer which you can check out right here: [previewyoutube="SZGjxHGZAso;full"]
So, it's been quite a while since this Steam page first saw the light of day, but we're very happy to be able to finally launch Truck Driver on PC as well today. We'd love to know what you think! Feel free to open a discussion topic in the Steam Community Hub, so we can have a chat. Alternatively, please consider joining our Discord server at https://discord.gg/soedesco, for the most direct communication with us, and the Truck Driver community.
For now, that's it honestly. But of course I'll see you all once we drop the first PC game update!

WIN a Thrustmaster T150 Pro and Truck Driver!
As Truck Driver is launching next week for PC, we wanted to do something special. We teamed up with our friends from Thrustmaster to give away a Thrustmaster T150 Pro steering wheel + a key for Truck Driver!
This giveaway ends next week on Tuesday, make sure to get your entries in right now, and check back daily for those daily entries! https://gleam.io/competitions/uyBun-win-a-thrustmaster-t150-pro-steering-wheel-truck-driver-pc-launch-giveaway
We have a release date! Truck Driver is coming to PC on May 27th
It's been a while, but I have some great news for all of you: Truck Driver is coming to Steam on May 27th! Some of you might have already caught the news about the game coming to Epic Games Store, but of course, we're not holding out on Steam ;).
So, what can you expect? Truck Driver has been tailored to the PC platform with things like Multi Monitor Support, an unlocked frame rate, Tobii eye tracking, button mapping and a whole range of graphical settings to tweak.
I'm planning to live stream Truck Driver on PC before launch, to show you how it plays, so make sure to stay tuned and join me at https://youtube.com/soedesco. There's also a PC specific features trailer coming up, so if you're on the fence about the PC version of Truck Driver, keep an eye out so you can make your decision!
I'll see you during the live stream, and of course on launch next week!

A new map in the works?
Some more news about stuff that's in the works! Now this is something a lot of people have been asking for. No, we don't have a release date for this yet, or any other specifics for that matter, but we did want to give you a sneak peek to this. If you've missed it, we've included this in our Truck Driver Holiday Special, where we take a look back at a year of Truck Driver. You can check out that video right here (tease at 11:37): https://youtu.be/8Hd2dMfLw-U
So, what do you think? Of course, PC specific development is also still in the works, and once this new 'thing' drops, it'll be available on PC as well. Something also tells me that we're very close to showing you more PC specific features, and maybe even a release date! Of course, please stay tuned right here on the Steam page, or join our Discord server at https://discord.gg/soedesco
Take care!
