Euro Truck Simulator 2: 1.53 Update Release

We are excited to share with our community that the 1.53 update for Euro Truck Simulator 2 is now officially released! Packed with new content, reworked content, quality of life improvements and more, let’s dive in and take a look at what’s in store.

Before that, we have to give a huge shoutout to everyone who participated in the Open Beta phase, shared feedback, and reported bugs. Your invaluable contributions have allowed us to fine-tune content and eliminate bugs that slipped through the cracks initially. We hope that you will enjoy the new features, changes, and more that come with this update!

As part of our Germany Rework project, we are excited to present the cities of München, Mannheim, Leipzig, Dresden and Germany’s largest city and capital, Berlin. Each of these cities has been completely reworked from the ground up and is included for free as part of the 1.53 update for Euro Truck Simulator 2.

With the help of advanced map techniques and technologies, our team has been able to rework each city and its surrounding area in great detail, including accurately represented industries in the area, new and improved road networks, and famous local landmarks!

We encourage you to explore each of these cities yourself, and discover what each one has to offer; you’ll never know what you may find! If you’re interested in learning more in more detail about each specific city, be sure to check out our dedicated blogs on the Germany rework, which you can find here.

We’re excited to announce that the Volvo FH Series 4 has undergone a complete rework in the 1.53 update for Euro Truck Simulator 2! We know the community has been eagerly awaiting news on this highly requested update, so without further ado, let’s take a closer look at the changes made to this iconic truck.

Let’s start with the cabin, which has been completely reworked both inside and out. Thanks to newly provided CAD data, we have been able to accurately improve details and the accuracy of external parts including front and rear fenders, bumpers, roof deflectors, and more.

The same goes for the interior too, which now features more accurate textures and materials that meet the new Volvo standard. Drivers will also have the option of choosing between different interior trims, customisable seats, and steering wheel.

The chassis of the Volvo FH Series 4 has also been completely remodelled and improved in terms of details, including new textures for a better overall appearance.

However, that isn’t all! The Volvo FH Tuning Pack has also received a rework as a result of the Volvo FH Series 4 being overhauled. Owners of this DLC Pack can expect reworked tuning parts, including the front and rear fenders, bumpers, roof deflectors, and more.

Drivers can also find an option to paint their cabin in the special 25 Years of Volvo FH paint livery! It’s the perfect way to celebrate the rework of the Volvo FH Series 4 in style.

We look forward to hearing your initial reactions on the rework of this iconic truck, which our team has worked hard to enhance with new details and improvements. Be sure to share your comments, screenshots, and videos with us across our social media channels!

We’re happy to introduce a feature that we believe many players will find helpful, especially those who often adjust their settings to fine-tune what is best to their liking and setup. When changing an option with a default value, players will now have a visual indication of when a setting has been moved or changed from its default state.

Settings that have been adjusted from their default value will now appear with a small visual indicator alongside that setting. We hope this helps users find which settings have been altered from default.

Another new feature that we are happy to include with this update is Smooth and Auto Camera Centring! Players can now enable this new option to return their camera to the central position automatically after moving it. When activated by the player or by moving forward, the smooth centring feature becomes noticeable as it gently transitions the camera to the central position.

This addition comes with a range of personal preference options, including three options for speed, which controls how fast or slow the camera returns to the centre; as well as the option to set how many seconds of delay there should be before re-centring occurs.

For players who use a third-party head-tracking solution or prefer to adjust the position of the camera manually, there is also an option to disable this feature altogether. Happy trucking!
