American Truck Simulator: First Update Brings Kenworth W900

[Paul Jeffrey]

Hot on the heels of the initial release, the team behind American Truck Simulator have thrown out a first update bringing a number of key fixes to the title and a free truck, the Kenworth W900 model as shown in the image above.

Notable changes since the release version include a vast reduction in the value of fines issued for such misdemeanors as speeding and running red lights in the early stages of the game, they now increase as the player becomes more advanced within the game.

SCS Software are currently working on AI code improvements and adding addition speed limit signs across the map to help players properly adhere to the enforced driving conditions. The next update will probably contain further juicy updates and maybe a little more content for fans to enjoy, but no release date has yet been announced.

With an impressive initial launch and strong opening update this title promises to be another hit for the team behind the excellent European Truck Simulator series and the surprisingly enjoyable Scania Truck Driving Simulator, all available via the Steam platform.

As the title develops and the community gets to grips with modding this wonderful game don't forget to check out the American Truck Simulator forum right here on RD for the latest discussions and ATS mods can be submitted here.

I swapped my peterbuilt for this as soon as I heard about it.

Then watched big trouble in little China. Then found out the rock is doing a remake.

Can't wait!
