Euro Truck Simulator 2 adds Iceland map DLC, base game $4.99 until Nov 24

Iceland is now drivable in Euro Truck Simulator 2. SCS Software launched the paid map expansion on November 10, 2026, and confirmed it the same day in a Steam post titled "Iceland DLC Release". The base game, meanwhile, carries a 75% discount on Steam and costs $4.99 rather than $19.99 until November 24.

Inside the expansion

SCS puts 14 cities and settlements on the island, Reykjavík and Akureyri among them, strung along the Ring Road. Routes pass sights such as Jökulsárlón, Goðafoss, Gullfoss and Geysir, and jobs come from farms, quarries and a silica plant in Húsavík. Some bridges carry only one lane, so trucks have to yield to traffic from the other side. The studio also mentions Northern Lights and daylight that follows Iceland's real hours.

Getting there takes a boat. SCS has listed crossings from Hirtshals in Denmark to Seyðisfjörður and from Rotterdam's Europoort to Þorlákshöfn, plus a third line from Ålesund in Norway that the studio concedes is made up. Shipping a rig across is not cheap, the developer cautions; Quick Travel to a garage in Iceland skips the voyage.

In a separate post, SCS describes clearer water in which rocks and ground show through in the shallows, along with foam on fast rivers. Players who own the Special Transport DLC get 4 extra Special Transport routes on the island and the Articulated Dumper as a new load.

Launch day also opened Cruising Iceland, a World of Trucks event. It counts jobs of 150 km or more that start or end in Iceland, taken through External Contracts or the External Market on a profile linked to World of Trucks. Together, players are aiming for 175,000,000 km. Anyone who covers all 14 cities as origin or destination unlocks a World of Trucks achievement and a Fire and Ice paint job in the Steam inventory.

Reception and player numbers

Early buyers mostly approve: the expansion's store page shows 97% of 78 user reviews as positive. The price draws objections, though. In the Steam forum, a thread called "map rip off" asks "£15 for a map are you kidding".

The base game holds its Overwhelmingly Positive rating, with 97% of 953,866 reviews positive. Steam's most played chart for November 10 had it at No. 30 with a peak of 52,431 concurrent players, up from 39th a week before. At 17:41 UTC on November 11, 54,927 people were on the road, 23rd by current players.

More content follows within days. Destructoid gives Thursday, November 12, at 5pm UTC as the worldwide launch of the Coaches DLC, which SCS says arrives with three licensed vehicles: the Scania Touring, the Volvo 9700 DD and the MAN Lion's Coach. PC Games Hardware notes that Coaches passengers can be picked up in Iceland as well and that Reykjavík gets a new bus station.

For newcomers, the base game sits at $4.99 until November 24; Iceland has its own store page and is bought separately. Returning drivers can head north by ferry or Quick Travel and work through the 14 Icelandic cities for the event rewards.
