ATS Oregon Map Expansion Now Live

Paul Jeffrey · Oct 4, 2018

American Truck Simulator has gotten a whole lot bigger today, the Oregon map expansion DLC for the addictive title is now available to buy!

SCS Software have crafted themselves something of a reputation for tireless work and high quality content in recent years, the plucky developers of American Truck Sim and European Truck Sim 2 having something of a good few months as they seemingly continually keep producing the goods for both simulators, both with impressive new DLC offerings and plenty of very solid and worthwhile free updates to the base game install.

Releasing today to much expectation from the community, the latest DLC map expansion for American Truck Simulator is here - Oregon!

Retailing for £8.99 via the Steam network, the Oregon DLC map expansion is yet another high quality and very polished release from SCS, adding plenty of new and aesthetically pleasing scenery for truckers to enjoy while making deliveries throughout the 'Beaver State'.

Oregon DLC Map Expansion Key Features

Over 5,000 miles of new in-game roads
14 major cities, including Portland, Salem, and Eugene
13 large custom rest/truck stops for parking and refueling

Finally no desert anymore!!! I really hope they expand the map to the north-east in the next few dlc's.

I think I know what Mr. Broadbent's next video is gonna be then...

I can say they've definitely captured the scenic spirit of Oregon highways and scrap metal yards!

I'm really enjoying it so far. I was pleasantly surprised to see some of the real-life features in my hometown of Medford. I've been to Klamath Falls, Salem, and the Dalles so far. Very well done. Congratulations to SCS!

That'll need Aussie Truck Sim first....which I would buy in a heart beat as well!

Does anyone have a great collection of mods for this one? Like better rain, thunder, sounds, textures and whatnot? Maybe even some good truck pimping mods?

The Tourist Oregon achievement is a PIG of a job to do, you have to find 4 secret roads not on the map....thats how difficult it is!

Thanks

But if I was to buy just one, basic edition, no dlc. Which one is best graphics wise?

ETS2 base map (UK, Germany etc) is old and doesn't look so good (some parts of Germany have been updated but not all). All the best graphics are in the DLCs

so for base "best" graphics I'd say ATS.

I think ETS2 is a better choice atm. It has more content, more variety. But damn I love hauling in america. It's just a very special feeling.

Andy one more thing about the games, ETS2 European style trucks are WAY more manoeuvrable than the US rigs. So much easier to park them.

Funny how ETS2 has the easy to manoeuvrable trucks and the easy parking areas and ATS the trucks with a turning radius of two whole citys, bad visibility and the difficult parking spots. Some spots are super tricky in ATS!

Wow that actually make me wanna get it!

I always asked for harder pickup and drop off spots in ETS2 as a special job category with less time and more money, just as a challenge and fun to apply those real trucking skills of backing up with trailers and position them in tight spots and picking them up from tight spots, but years of asking led nowhere. Might get ATS for this reason because when i have bought all trucks and all pimping upgrades i find it pretty boring as there is nothing to work for anymore. Sure its nice to cruise and take in the scenery, but i do that while working to get the cash and to buy everything. With an extra layer of challenge (for those that want to) i think it would last longer for more people. Or maybe its just me.
