It had been months since a rumor spoke of a potential multiplayer mode. The developers had covered the subject on their forum, but nothing was concrete until Wednesday evening. SCS Software has launched a live, on their YouTube channel, with the title: " Special American Truck Simulator: Convoy Developer Stream ”. No more doubt! Multiplayer is finally a reality on the game after 9 years of existence.
It has been years since the community had its own multiplayer network via TRUCKERSMP, but the number of servers was limited and there were a lot of trucks. In places, traffic was even completely at a standstill on certain corners of the map because of the too many players. The playing conditions were really not ideal.
With the famous update 1.41, this constraint is over. You will be able to create your own games with your friends. The developers should bring us more information in the coming weeks. Stay tuned.
