Hey truckers! We need to talk about the elephant in the room. Every time SCS Software releases an update, the comments section lights up with one specific question: "Why aren't they using Unreal Engine?"
Transitioning to Unreal Engine 5 would be nothing short of a visual overhaul. Utilizing Nanite virtualized geometry, the intricate details of the trucks—down to the texture of the steering wheel leather and the metallic paint flakes—would reach photorealistic levels. Lumen global illumination would revolutionize the driving experience; imagine the sun dipping below the horizon, casting dynamic, soft shadows across the Autobahn, or the realistic reflections of wet tarmac during a French thunderstorm.
: These engine refinements are also paving the way for the game's eventual release on Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 , currently targeted for 2026 .
