Today, SCS Software announced the release date of the next DLC for American Truck Simulator, focusing on South Dakota.
According to the official announcement, it’ll be released for PC via Steam on September 24, 2026. As usual, a price has not been officially mentioned, but state DLCs all cost the same, so we can expect it to be $11.99.
The DLC has plenty of attractive locations, including the Great Plains, the Badlands, the Black Hills, Mount Rushmore, and its memorial.
On top of that, it’ll be one of the first states to receive Road Trip content when the car-driving expansion is released down the line.
You can check out a trailer and a bunch of screenshots below.
American Truck Simulator is available for PC, and it’s the sister game to Euro Truck Simulator 2. PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions are also coming. Version 1.61 for PC is already available in open beta.
South Dakota is likely the next DLC, and we already saw its Truck Stops, countryside, towns, cities, more Truck Stops, the road network, more settlements, even more towns, Hot Springs, Badlands National Park, the Industry, Rapid City, Sioux Falls, the Black Hills, Mount Rushmore, on top of gameplay.
The game will soon cross the borders of the United States and go to Canada with the British Columbia DLC, of which we also saw some screenshots, some of the towns, and the tunnels.
Then American Truck Simulator will return to the US with Indiana and North Dakota, on top of a Nevada rework.
Another big project is the Road Trip feature, spearheaded by the Ford Car Pack (of which we also saw the Ford Crown Victoria, the Ford F-150, the Ford Mustang Fastback, and the Ford Bronco Badlands) and the Ram & Dodge Car Pack with the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Widebody, which will expand the simulator’s experience from trucks to cars and pickup trucks, including pure exploration and the delivery of smaller packages.
We also saw the Atlas feature coming with Road Trip and the way you’ll purchase and customize rides.
