Also, World of Truck external contracts are not yet supported. As great as this is, it’ll only work if all of the players have the same set of cargo and map DLCs that the host player has.

That means the AI traffic, time of day, and weather (to a degree) will be the same for each player. Players are able to tag along with up to seven others in a totally synchronized session. Nevertheless, the concept of the new Convoy Mode remains the same here in the current sims: it’s all about teaming up and delivering the same cargo to and from the same destination (or just occupy the same world). Fun fact: while “convoy” is a trucking term used to refer to a team of vehicles, it’s also the tagline for the fourth entry of SCS Software’s 18 Wheels of Steel series. This comes via a new game mode called Convoy. SCS Software has formally introduced multiplayer functionality to its engine, starting with beta tests over in American Truck Simulator. Even with its now long-running existing sister games American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2, they have remained as officially single-player only releases. In SCS Software’s long history of creating trucking sims, the company has never really pushed for multiplayer functionality.
