What’s future ATS 33 DLC states?
32 already since Missouri has been released, but the rest is still actual. Speculations about what direction SCS Software will go with American Truck Simulator Expansions. On the visual my I tried to show what is already available and what we are going to wait in the future.
Expecting your thoughts about the spread of ATS and please share how many of #DLCs you have
All 203 ATS Hidden Roads – Ultimate Guide – ATS 1.54 with no Missouri DLC – Secrets, Towns, Race Tracks and Easter eggs
As I mentioned in Telegram until now I found 10 new hidden roads in Missouri – 3 in Rolla, 1 in Jefferson City, 2 in Joplin (one is update for road in Pittsburg, Kansas), 1 in Maryville and Kirksville and 2 in
Poplar Bluff. Searching in progress and you can see it in spreadsheet. But this doesn’t mean that legendary 203 roads guide is outdated – you can find there hidden roads in 16 states on American Truck Simulator before Missouri. It is still actual in May 2025 on ATS 1.54 but soon it will be revealed new one with at least 215 roads.
Also I wish to remind that some roads are periodically disappear (rebuild or become regular road) during map reworks and some new are being added in new game versions. In most cases I add only marked roads but also some easter eggs are available. I always try to avoid spoilers, mark only locations and removed hidden roads footages but if you prefer to discover all hidden roads and secrets yourself better to skip the video.
Hidden and secret roads doesn’t affect percentage of map discovery.

How to open 100% map with all DLC (incl Missouri) in ATS 1.54 * Full Map Discovered, Guide, Profile
The guide is explaining how to open 100% discovered map in ATS 1.54 with all map DLC including fresh Missouri. I did the same guide periodically for ETS 2 and ATS but latest American guide was 5 month ago for Arkansas and later update for the final California rework. Since that it was made small tune-ups on vanilla and DLCs and then Missouri released.
