Cruising Missouri Event Conclusion

This past Sunday marked the conclusion of the #CruisingMissouri World of Trucks event, which ran for over two months in celebration of the Missouri DLC release for American Truck Simulator. Now, it's time to officially wrap things up and share the final stats with you!

First and foremost, we would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone in our #BestCommunityEver who participated in #CruisingMissouri, as well as to the incredible team behind this event. We are already excited for what's coming next!

At the start, we set two goals for you. The community objective was to collectively drive 125,000,000 miles by hauling cargo to or from any city in the Show Me State - a milestone you surpassed more than three weeks before the event ended! Altogether, you logged an impressive 151,084,082 miles (243,146,261 kilometers).

The personal goal involved delivering cargo to or from all 12 cities in Missouri, with each job covering at least 100 miles (161 km). In total, you completed 457,465 qualifying deliveries! Congratulations to the 28,991 dedicated truckers who achieved this and unlocked their well-earned rewards: the Beast of Burden ATS paint job, plus the Striking Mule ornament, and the Show-Me Pillow cabin accessories.

If you couldn't fully complete this event, we hope you still enjoyed taking part! You know what they say, it's not about the destination, it's about the journey. Don't forget to follow us on TwitterFacebookInstagramBluesky, and YouTube for all the latest news about upcoming events and other news from our games. You can also sign up for our newsletter to stay informed. Until then, keep on trucking!

"One thing I truly appreciate about SCS Software is the genuine passion and attention to detail they pour into each new DLC. The Missouri DLC for ATS takes things to another level, with stunning landscapes, fascinating landmarks like the Gateway Arch and Bagnell Dam, and especially the innovative underground warehouses that bring a unique challenge. I'm a big fan of heavy-haul trucking, so the updates to both the Special Transport and Heavy Cargo DLCs were a fantastic surprise. I can't wait to haul more oversized cargo through the Show Me State. Great job, SCS! this DLC is another masterpiece!" - Project Sim Racing

"Just simply remarkable. Yet again SCS Software has delivered an innovative DLC with Missouri for American Truck Simulator! With this most recent DLC, the most anticipated addition included, with a whole new state to explore, is something not even visible in scale from a birds eye view with the introduction of underground storage facilities. These cargo and freight storage places are truly massive such as a rail yard or shipping port on a gigantic scale. And, the best part is they are like a labyrinth that once you reach the destination, you then need to proceed to the proper color coded zone and offload your cargo in a seemingly deep environment which does require the reading of signs to navigate that do function as more than just decoration.

With major cities given the detail you would expect, such as St. Louis and the monument of The Gateway Arch. And with more rural areas and smaller towns kept just as interesting with various landscapes and nature to enjoy on more local state roads that adhere to the terrain and grab your fullattention is just simply outstanding. To continue to see each DLC attempt to introduce new features and ideas gives so much to be excited for in coming updates and DLCs as well. Looking forward to what they deliver and announce next!" -

"The map team at SCS absolutely crushes it again. The best part about broadcasting Missouri live was the comments I received during the streams that say "I live near there!" and "That road / town / building looks just like that!" The people that live in this state say it all. They are absolutely blown away by the details of their home state. It is such a good feeling seeing people excited and even in awe of how accurate the new map is! The most impressive skyline I have seen in this DLC (if not the whole game) is St. Louis. There is nothing like pulling up to the arch and seeing the beautiful city skyline in the background. Thanks for another fun adventure for American Truck Simulator!" - RyaStream

Armstrong Gaming


"I like to keep things simple, so here’s my honest take: the Missouri DLC for American Truck Simulator is seriously solid. It’s modern, clean, and feels really up to date. The underground caves? Easily the highlight for me. They’re not just cool to look at, they’re actually created very well and fun to drive through. The lighting in there is something else. Driving in and watching everything go dark, then coming back out into the daylight, it just feels great!

The roads are smooth, the greenery and shrubbery look lush, and overall it’s just a gorgeous DLC. I’d call it “bonny” if you don’t mind a bit of regional slang, it’s got a lot of charm and character. Whilst it’s not the biggest state, it is packed with detail. There’s a real sense of depth, like every part of it has been crafted with care. You don’t get that “empty space” feeling some other maps can have, this one feels dense in all the right ways As for value? it’s a great deal. We’ve been driving it all week and honestly, we’ve loved every second.

If you’re thinking about picking it up, do it. Missouri’s a brilliant addition to the ATS world, and it’s absolutely worth the drive.
" - Mark Armstrong Gaming

"Missouri really surprised me in the best way possible. I knew it’d be cool, but man, the level of detail in this DLC is wild! From rolling through the Ozarks to weaving around the massive highway systems in Kansas City, it just feels right. One thing that totally blew me away was the underground warehouse system—it’s something totally different, and navigating it in a big rig is just awesome. The scenery shifts are super smooth too—you go from riverfront industry to farmland in no time, and it all looks incredible. I also loved seeing some of the small towns that give the state real character. This is one of those DLCs that makes you want to take the long route every time. If you haven’t hit the roads in Missouri yet, you’re seriously missing out!" - CaptainC0N

To wrap things up, we want to thank you once again for your unwavering support, kind reviews, and constructive comments. Our developers continually work hard to deliver great content, and it’s incredibly rewarding to see it reflected in your positive feedback. Thank you all so much!
