Meanwhile, newcomers can start their bus journey with the new Gold Edition, including all the DLCs that have been released so far!
With the big Bus Simulator 21 Next Stop update for the main game, bus aficionados can look forward to numerous game, AI, and other detail improvements. In addition, a completely new game mode awaits the players: The new career mode combines the well-known sandbox mode with the economic system of the campaign. Instead of having to unlock everything bit by bit by completing missions, players can choose from all bus stops and bus models right from the start of the game, so there are no limits to how far they can build up their own bus company – as long as they manage their start-up capital well, set up and operate routes successfully, expand their bus fleet skillfully and thus work their way up to become a successful local public transport company!
Together with the Bus Simulator 21 Next Stop update, dedicated versions of the game for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S will also be available for the first time – including improved graphics, Haptic Feedback, and Adaptive Trigger support on PS5, 4K resolution on PS5 and Xbox Series X and other optimizations specific to the respective consoles. For owners of the PS4 or Xbox One version of the game, the upgrade to the newer console version will be available for free on the respective platforms!
At the same time as the big Next Stop update goes live, Bus Simulator 21 will be available on the Epic Games Store and the Microsoft Store for the first time. It is already available on Steam, the PlayStation Store, and the Xbox Store. For PC players: All PC versions of the game are cross-play compatible so that PC players can play together in multiplayer – regardless of whether they purchased Bus Simulator 21 for PC in retail, on Steam, on the Epic Games Store, or on the Microsoft Store!
Another highlight of the Next Stop update is the release of the big official map extension as a free DLC, which has been eagerly awaited by fans of the game. Players can look forward to accessing a huge new area in the north of the US map “Angel Shores”. In addition to numerous new campaign missions, a completely new feature awaits them in the mountainous nature reserve with its idyllic lakes, forests, and villages: wild animals crossing! So be careful when driving through the impressive landscapes!
Meanwhile, with Bus Simulator 21 Next Stop – Gold Edition, new bus fans can look forward to the all-in-one package. The Gold Edition will become available in Q2 2023, both digitally and in stores, and includes not only Bus Simulator 21 but also all previously released paid DLCs for the game – including the MAN Bus Pack, the IVECO BUS Bus Pack, the VDL Bus Pack, the USA Skin Pack, the Angel Shores Insider Skin Pack, and the Protect Nature Interior Pack.
