News Euro Truck Simulator 2: Update 1.20 open beta goes live
News
SCS Software have begun the open beta testing phase of the latest 1.20 update for Euro Truck Simulator 2. The update will get extensive testing in this phase before the update gets a full proper release sometime in the near future.
The 1.20 update brings the usual plethora of small improvements and fixes and comes with some bigger changes as outlined below. The biggest attraction with the new update is undoubtedly the feature which will now allow players to customize or create their own driving route set by the game’s Route Advisor. You can modify the existing route by adding up to 10 custom waypoints for instance, or inserting new waypoints into the route. Alternatively you can also move the waypoints or even add additional waypoints at the end of a route.
You can see the full list of changes and fixes of the new 1.20 update in the changelog below.
