Euro Truck Simulator 2: Iceland DLC is out with 14 cities and the Ring Road

SCS Software has released the Iceland DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2. The developer's Steam post "Iceland DLC Release" went up on November 10, and SteamDB lists the store release at 17:15 UTC that day. The Steam DLC page lists the expansion at $11.99; it requires the base game.

What the map adds

According to SCS, Iceland brings 14 cities and settlements, including Reykjavík and Akureyri, linked by the Ring Road. The official post lists landmarks such as Jökulsárlón, Goðafoss, Gullfoss, Seljalandsfoss, Geysir and Thingvellir, and industries from farms and quarries to a silica factory in Húsavík. Narrow single-lane bridges force drivers to give way to oncoming traffic, the Northern Lights light up the scenery as you haul cargo, and daylight hours follow Iceland's real-world timing.

Getting there takes a ferry. In Steam announcements SCS describes a connection from Hirtshals in Denmark to Seyðisfjörður and another from Rotterdam's Europoort to Þorlákshöfn. One route, SCS admits, "doesn't exist in real life", and the previously inaccessible ferry port in Ålesund opens as well. Players who want to skip the crossing can use Quick Travel to reach their garage in Iceland.

Two additions go beyond the road network. Iceland introduces transparent water that shows rocks and terrain beneath the surface, particularly in shallower areas. Owners of the Special Transport DLC get four new Special Transport routes on the island, which PC Games Hardware also reports on, and SCS adds a new cargo, the Articulated Dumper.

Cruising Iceland event

Alongside the release, SCS started the World of Trucks event Cruising Iceland on November 10. The community goal is 175,000,000 km driven on deliveries to or from Icelandic cities, using External Contracts or the External Market with a World of Trucks-connected profile; each job must be at least 150 km long. Players who deliver to or from all 14 cities earn a World of Trucks achievement and a Fire and Ice paint job, and jobs to or from Patreksfjörður give a special extra reward. According to SCS, the event concludes on January 3, 2027 at 23:59 UTC.

Early reception of the DLC is positive: its Steam page shows a Very Positive rating, with 97% of 78 user reviews positive. The base game holds 97% positive across 953,740 reviews, rated Overwhelmingly Positive.

On Steam's most played chart, Euro Truck Simulator 2 stood at rank 30 on November 10 with a peak of 52,431 concurrent players, nine places higher than a week earlier. On the morning of November 11, 12,680 people were playing, with a daily peak of 52,509.

For newcomers, the timing is cheap: the base game is 75% off at $4.99 instead of $19.99; the store data does not say when the discount ends. Next on the schedule is a Coaches DLC with three licensed coaches, the Scania Touring, Volvo 9700 DD and MAN Lion's Coach. PC Games Hardware notes that Reykjavík's new bus station should interest buyers of that pack.
