ATS & ETS2 Update 1.58: A Major UI & UX Refresh

Update 1.58 marks one of the most significant UI and UX overhauls in American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2 to date. Touching nearly every screen players interact with daily, this update modernizes core systems while laying a more flexible foundation for future features and platforms.

The redesign is driven by the games’ long-term growth. While some changes may require brief re-learning, the goal is a cleaner, more intuitive, and future-ready experience that scales with what’s coming next.

Key highlights include a redesigned tutorial system built around contextual hints, delivering guidance naturally during gameplay rather than through a rigid, linear flow. New players get help when it matters, while experienced drivers stay focused on the road.

The Route Advisor has been completely reworked into a customizable, widget-based HUD. Instead of a fixed panel, players can now tailor on-screen information to their driving style, from minimal layouts to data-rich setups.

The Pause Screen evolves into a new Quick Info hub, centralizing job details, truck status, controls, and local regulations. This keeps the driving HUD cleaner while ensuring all critical information is just a pause away.

Quality-of-life improvements also arrive across management screens, offering clearer driver skill tracking, better company info visibility, and refined usability without disrupting familiar layouts. Meanwhile, the truck and trailer configurators receive targeted usability upgrades, improving navigation, feedback, and controller support.

Overall, Update 1.58 is a foundational step forward — modernizing daily interactions while preparing ATS and ETS2 for the next generation of content. Community feedback during the Open Beta will play a key role in refining these changes further.
