This is a substantial Expansion for American Truck Simulator, requiring the base game to play. Released in 2023, it adds the state of Oklahoma to the map, letting you haul cargo across its diverse terrain, from red rock hills to major cities. Gameplay focuses on expanding your trucking business by taking new delivery contracts driven by local industries like oil and gas production across the newly mapped road network.
This expansion immerses players in the diverse geography and economy of Oklahoma. While often perceived as an arid region, the virtual landscape showcases a variety of environments, ranging from highways cutting through hills characterized by dusk-red rock formations to bustling urban centers. The atmosphere aims to capture the state's unique blend of natural beauty and industrial activity, offering new visual experiences compared to previously released map areas.
The map addition includes numerous cities, landmarks, and an expanded road network specific to this region of the Southern United States. The focus on local industry is highlighted, particularly the economic drivers of natural gas and oil production, which translate into new types of freight contracts and delivery destinations for the player's trucking business. Players will navigate routes shaped by the state's history and its contemporary commercial needs, seeking out new industries to service.
As an expansion, this content builds directly upon the established simulation mechanics of the base game. There are no fundamental changes to the core driving simulation, physics, or vehicle management systems. Instead, it provides a large, new geographical area to explore and operate within. The primary enhancement is the sheer volume of new road miles and delivery points added to the map. For players who have already explored the existing states in American Truck Simulator, this content offers a fresh territory to establish new routes, discover local points of interest, and expand their virtual logistics empire. It adds depth and longevity to the core gameplay loop of picking up, transporting, and delivering cargo across the American road system.
The simulation experience remains true to the established formula: players manage their trucking company, purchase and upgrade vehicles, and accept contracts. This content simply overlays a large, detailed new state onto that existing framework. The new territory requires players to learn new local road layouts and optimize routes based on Oklahoma's specific infrastructure.
This content is available on Linux, Microsoft Windows, and Mac platforms, aligning with the supported systems for the base title. Since its release in 2023, it functions as a permanent addition to the base simulation, integrating directly into the ongoing career mode.
