100% discovered study (last on 1.57) 02.01.2026
We finally have full 100% discovered maps for ATS and ETS2 within version 1.57, but new challenges ahead. New games version is around the corner and at least in US we have massive map rework with Route 66 project. In Europe we will probably will not see Benelux Rework changes very soon. So now we have some time to hold and enjoy games.

[Guide] ETS2 1.57 – 100% Explored map with all DLC (with Nordic Horizons) (January 2026, ETS2 1.57, all map DLCs including Scandinavia Rework and Nordic Horizons DLC)
I do these discovery since 2017 and I discover whole map almost on every game versions including all expansions and reworks.
Cruising Louisiana event is close to reach its goal
With the new DLC for American Truck Simulator we get World of Trucks event and this time it’s #CruisingLouisiana – typical but still attractive since we can discover new state and get another trophy on ours Wotr page.
Currently 122,979,167 / 125,000,000 miles so it is very close to the community goal.
Rules and rewards are pretty equal as for other “Cruising” events so if if you played it once just apply to the new names or read details in SCS Blog.

I explored 100% of ETS2 1.57 finally and in the video I’m sharing the guide how to do it on your side as well as tools and files. Text file with discovered items and fresh profile with opened map. Please note that these files are actual for current state of the game in February 2026 on ETS2 1.57 and can be partially will work on later versions but always check if the new update available for this topic.
Obviously you need all map DLC and as always I would like to remind you to back up before doing anything with your profiles.

Hidden Roads Study (Final in 1.57) – January, 27 2025
Looks like all hidden roads in ATS and ETS2 found at least for now on game version 1.57, so this digest will be probably appear later this year when I have something to tease and discover.
You can see the complete list of cities with hidden paths here: https://trucksim.top/y9t6 and guides for both games below.
On the last digest I mentioned that Hidden Roads Study series will likely be put on hold or possibly discontinued and count of views of latest videos convince me to freeze it. Nevertheless below you can find the most comprehensive hidden roads guide for ATS and ETS2 for this moment. I’m not gonna transform to shorts, clickbait and fake speculations just for views or extra couple bucks.
I’m sharing found hidden secret roads in both American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2 periodically since 2022 when this feature been released on ETS2 and ATS 1.44. Actual spreadsheet list of cities with hidden roads for Europe and America is updating periodically here https://trucksim.top/y9t6. It is probably won’t help you with exact secrets locations but you can check if you missed any.
ETS2 (updated 01.24.2026, actual on 1.57 with Scandinavia Refresh and Nordic Horizon DLC, 110 roads so far)
ATS (updated 12.26.2025, actual on 1.57 with Louisiana DLC, 245 roads so far)
Unfortunately, YouTube search results often prioritize older videos, so even though I’m updating descriptions, outdated guides still rank higher in search results. Please always check if a more recent and updated guide is available.
Map Combo Study 01.26.2025
With official news about game version 1.58 starting to surface, it’s safe to assume that an open beta is just around the corner. As always, a new major update means it’s time to rethink our map setups and give the modding community some time to adapt to the new features and technical changes.
Until that happens, we still have large and stable map combos available for both Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator. Most upcoming updates to these combos will likely focus on polishing, compatibility fixes, and minor improvements, with the possibility of a few new maps being added.
At this stage, it’s not yet clear how version 1.58 will affect maps and mod management overall. However, for the current game version, there are already well-established rules and best practices that help avoid conflicts and common mistakes. I’ve covered these in detail in my Beginner’s Guide, which I strongly recommend watching before building or updating your map combo. It will save you time, prevent recurring issues, and help you create a stable and enjoyable setup from the start.

100% discovered study 01.24.2026
Currently we have 100% in ATS 1.57 with new Louisiana DLC and you see the guide below but in Europe took more time than I expected so probably ETS2 guide with Nordic Horizons and Scandinavia rework won’t be finished in January. Update is really big so it’s deserved to wait a little. For sure all the hidden roads will be in it but you can watch them right now in the video. The full guide is also still not ready but I hope this weekend it will be available on Patreon. But for 100% in ETS2 1.57 expected date is February 2026. If you’re using older strings (for instance for 1.56 below) they are still work but undiscovered areas will remain grey.

Hidden Roads Study – January, 15 2025
I have good news and bad news. The good news is that I’ve finished discovering all the new hidden roads in ETS2, including the refreshed Scandinavia and Nordic Horizon DLC content. We now have an impressive total of 109 secret roads across Europe! There will be two videos covering this: one featuring Nordic and Scandinavia footage, and another recap showing all ETS2 hidden road locations on the map. You can see the complete list of cities with hidden paths here: https://trucksim.top/y9t6, though the video guides will take some time to produce.
The bad news is that these videos haven’t been getting much traction. This isn’t your fault—it’s simply how YouTube’s algorithm promotes content. Unfortunately, this creates a challenge: these videos require significantly more time to create than they generate in visibility and engagement. Because of this, the Hidden Roads Study series will likely be put on hold or possibly discontinued. I’ll be focusing more on other types of guides and spending time enjoying the games themselves.
As for ATS, things are looking good! I’ve found 245 hidden roads so far. While the guide has only gotten around 400 views over the last 3 weeks, it’s still the most comprehensive hidden roads guide for American Truck Simulator available on YouTube.
I’m sharing found hidden secret roads in both American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2 periodically since 2022 when this feature been released on ETS2 and ATS 1.44. Actual spreadsheet list of cities with hidden roads for Europe and America is updating periodically here https://trucksim.top/y9t6. It is probably won’t help you with exact secrets locations but you can check if you missed any.
ETS2 (updated 04.25.2025, actual on 1.57 without Scandinavia Refresh and Nordic Horizon DLC, 80 roads so far)
ATS (updated 12.26.2025, actual on 1.57 with Louisiana DLC, 245 roads so far)
Unfortunately, YouTube search results often prioritize older videos, so even though I’m updating descriptions, outdated guides still rank higher in search results. Please always check if a more recent and updated guide is available.
