Is American Truck Simulator coming to PS4? SCS Software‘s vehicle simulation title has been knocking around on the PC for four years now, having launched back in early 2016. However, even after all this time, folk are still wondering if the cult favourite is heading to the PlayStation 4.
Is an American Truck Simulator PS4 release on the cards? Let’s have a look!
SCS Software has touched base on an American Truck Simulator PS4 release during an interview with Squirrel in 2018. Here’s what the studio had to say:
It would absolutely make sense to have a console version of the game. Actually, we have been talking to Microsoft and Sony about this. They have approached us, they feel that it makes sense for them too. We have a bunch of dev kits in the company, so it’s not a lost cause.
It’s worth noting that a console release would likely have far less features than the PC version, as American Truck Simulator is very much built with PC in mind. No PS4 version has ever materialised since the above interview, so it remains to be seen if it’ll ever happen.
In addition, SCS Software has been building simulation games since 1997, and specialise in PC development.
That said, if you do need your fix of truck games, then there’s always Truck Driver.
