After a couple months of experimental beta for 1.61 SCS Software releases open beta starting from ATS and following with ETS2. Cycle of previous 1.60 version was quite short but longer than we expected in June. We can’t call new version fundamental and revolutionary but couple features will change life for some players. As always you can read about all changes of the official blog. To try beta go to Steam client → LIBRARY → right-click on American Truck Simulator → Properties → Betas tab → Beta Participation drop-down menu → public_beta. No password is required. Sometimes you will have to restart your Steam client to see the correct branch name there.
