Euro Truck Simulator 2: 1.62 Update Open Beta

We’re excited to share that the 1.62 Open Beta for Euro Truck Simulator 2 is now available for players to try out. If you decide to join the beta, we’d really appreciate it if you report any bugs or issues you encounter in the appropriate section of our official forums.

Your feedback plays a huge role in helping us improve the game, and we truly value the time and effort you put into testing these new features and changes.

New Garages

With the release of the 1.62 update, we are introducing new truck garage models across the entire base map and all map DLCs, so you’ll be able to enjoy these refreshed garages wherever you go. The new garages feature updated visuals both in the interior and exterior, with greater attention to detail and a more modern, immersive feel. We hope this will make upgrading your garage feel even more rewarding.

Of course, performance was also an important consideration. Bringing these new garages to the game while keeping their performance cost in check compared to the older models was no small task, but we hope we’ve found the right balance between improved visuals and performance.

Improved Material System

We are continuing to expand the Improved Material System with this update, bringing it to more truck interiors. The Iveco S-Way is the latest addition to the lineup, benefiting from enhanced lighting and improved visual quality, with a particular focus on how different interior materials react to light.

We hope you enjoy the new beautiful visuals! You can read more about this topic here.

DAF XG+ Emerald, Sapphire & 30 Years in Czechia Editions

Another part of the 1.62 Update is three new editions of the DAF XG+! The Emerald and Sapphire Editions bring distinctive green and blue paint jobs, exclusive exterior accessories, and specially designed interiors, offering drivers a stylish new way to personalise their trucks.

The third addition, the DAF XG+ 30 Years in Czechia Edition, celebrates three decades of DAF in the Czech Republic with a special anniversary design, unique exterior details, and an exclusive interior featuring dedicated upholstery and stitching. You can find out more in our blog post here.

Goodyear Tyres Pack Update

We are updating the Goodyear Tyres Pack paint jobs to reflect the company's updated branding.

The latest Goodyear logo and slightly adjusted colours are now featured across the paint jobs, bringing them in line with the current design.

Game Radio Update

With the 1.62 Open Beta, we’re also bringing an update to the Escape station within our Game Radio feature! As the only stream-safe station in our in-game radio lineup, Escape is a great choice for content creators who want to share their journeys with their communities. We’ve removed tracks that were causing copyright issues and expanded the playlist with 11 new songs, giving Escape a longer runtime that better matches our other stations.
