Truck Driver
USA Paint Job DLC is here + overall progress
As you might know, last month we released the first free DLC of Truck Driver: the Hidden Places & Damage System DLC: https://store.steampowered.com/newshub/app/768180/view/2930114451185771973. Recently a new smaller and completely optional cosmetic DLC was launched for Truck Driver: The USA Paint Jobs DLC. You can deck out your vehicle with these United States inspired paint jobs. Check 'em out in action here: https://youtu.be/K6Tl53Ec1fw
Now this is just a little optional DLC for people who are interested of course. More of these country themed paint jobs DLCs will be released over the coming time, but this is really something on the side.
In the meantime, there's a lot of different teams working on different stuff! Very soon in the released versions on console, things like rumble strips on highways, button mapping and new SFX will be introduced. And of course, the dedicated Truck Driver PC team is busy with PC specific features, like multi monitor support for example. I hope I can show you all some examples of those features soon, but please know Truck Driver is still being worked on by different specific teams on all fronts!
Until next time!
