The value story

It has never been cheaper than $14.99. That was December 2023. It has been discounted 61 times in the 13 years tracked here, typically at 30 percent off, with about 10 weeks between sales. Today's $20.99 at 30 percent off still sits 40 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.

On value it sits in the top 2 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 97 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 89 percent. Among the games that feel like it, American Truck Simulator ($19.99, scores 94) beats it on value, while it beats On The Road - The Truck Simulator ($11.99, scores 0).

Players rate it 86 percent positive over its lifetime, and the last 30 days run 94 percent. It is aging into a better game than its average suggests. Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 38 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written June 2022 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,864 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 369 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 33 percent of the 519 reviews written there were positive, against 86 percent overall, and those are 6 percent of everything written about it.

200 hours to finish it, 475 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 2.4 times the campaign.

It came out 13 years ago and 587 were still playing it at once.

What players say

When I bought game a few days ago, I fell in love with it! The sounds, the suspension, passengers, even the extra details bring the realism to the game! One of the most realistic games in the platform and worth the money! It does get laggy at some times but I honestly don't care.
