After years of anticipation and community requests, SCS Software has officially teased the arrival of drivable coach buses in their flagship title, Euro Truck Simulator 2. The announcement came via a short video titled “Next Stop: ETS2,” released around May 30-31, 2025, sending waves of excitement through the loyal fanbase.

The teaser, though brief, explicitly points towards the introduction of tour buses, offering players a new way to experience the vast and detailed European landscapes already beloved by truck enthusiasts. This marks a significant expansion of gameplay for ETS2, moving beyond traditional freight hauling.

While specific details regarding licensed bus models, a concrete release date, or the full scope of gameplay features remain under wraps, the confirmation of official coach bus integration has been met with widespread enthusiasm. For years, the community has speculated and utilized mods to simulate bus driving, but an official inclusion by the developers has long been a coveted feature.

This development also suggests a diversification in SCS Software’s approach to their trucking simulators, as their other major title, American Truck Simulator, is reportedly slated to receive drivable passenger cars.

The “Next Stop: ETS2” video hints at a new chapter for the long-running simulator. Players are eager to learn more about how bus operations will be implemented, whether it will involve passenger management, scheduled routes, and how it will integrate into the existing ETS2 economy. Many of the game’s existing map locations already feature bus terminals, fueling speculation that this addition has been in the pipeline for a considerable time.

SCS Software has a history with bus simulation, having developed “Bus Driver” in 2007, and previous mentions of a potential coach DLC for ETS2 have surfaced in the past. This latest announcement, however, is the most definitive indication that players will soon be swapping their cargo trailers for a full complement of passengers.

As the community eagerly awaits further information, the “Next Stop: ETS2” teaser has undeniably signaled an exciting new journey ahead for Euro Truck Simulator 2.
