ATS Multiplayer Beta Now Available

Great news for fans of American Truck Simulator. Finally, you will be able to play this game with your friends in separate sessions of up to 8 people. The developers have launched an open beta test. Anyone who has purchased American Truck Simulator on Steam can participate. To start, do the following:

- Go to your Steam game library and find ATS;

- Right-click and select the "Properties" section;

- You will see the Betas tab, go there;

- You need to enter a code to gain access to the testing. Here is the code: XZo2orrgbG92XMQ.

It is important to understand that if you suddenly decide to revert to the old version of the game, there may be problems with saving data, so it is recommended to back up player profiles in advance.

Now a bit about the update. This is still just a beta version, and much will be refined and reworked. Currently, up to eight players can participate in a session, and they can take the same contracts and drive together to the destination. For realism, a radio chat has been added, which is activated by pressing the X key. In addition, there is a ready-made tab with preset responses for quick replies (Q key), as well as a text chat for players who do not like to speak into the microphone (Y key).

The new mode – Convoy – allows you to do all of the above. Weather and time change correctly. In addition, there is AI traffic, as in the single-player version, and much more. If one of the players is dissatisfied with the result, you can roll back, after which the state of the truck, cargo, and wallet will be restored.
