A major new update for Truck Driver: The American Dream is now available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S! Patch #33 delivers significant improvements across gameplay, AI, audio, visuals, and performance, introduces support for 11 additional languages, and includes over 70 bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements.

Updates & Additions

Audio

• Added a Voices volume slider, allowing players to adjust character voice-over volume independently.
• The default volume for both Engine and Voice Over audio is now set to 50. We recommend trying the game with the default audio settings before making adjustments.
• Reworked the in-cabin truck audio profile to better simulate how sounds are heard inside a real truck cabin. Engine sounds have also been retuned with updated pitch, low-pass filtering, volume, and frequency adjustments for a deeper, more powerful sound.
• Updated the rain-on-cabin-roof audio system with separate sound profiles for light and heavy rain, including seamless transitions between them.
• Added tire-on-asphalt sound effects for dry weather (no rain or snow). The effect is most noticeable with the engine turned off but can also be heard while driving.
• Added a subtle ambient cabin soundscape. With the engine turned off, you'll now hear the atmosphere of a small enclosed space along with occasional environmental sounds.

Gameplay & AI

• Updated truck physics and handling. Trucks are now slightly more stable and accelerate more gradually from a standstill.
• Improved truck hill climbing, acceleration, and overall driving behavior (with and without trailers).
• Updated AI traffic behavior at traffic lights. Vehicles now accelerate from a standstill almost twice as fast after the light turns green.
• Rebalanced the number of AI vehicles waiting at traffic-light intersections. Large traffic queues are now less common while maintaining dynamic traffic flow.
• Improved AI turning behavior at intersections, resulting in smoother and faster decision-making.
• Vehicles now slow down when being overtaken. Previously, some vehicles could accelerate instead.
• Added new AI traffic behavior where some vehicles may accelerate after you line up behind them, creating more varied traffic flow.
• AI traffic now always uses headlights during evenings and in rainy, snowy, or foggy conditions.
• Increased the frequency of the gameplay tip, explaining that using your horn or quickly flashing your headlights can encourage traffic to move faster.

Graphics & Visuals

• Added over 550 artificial light sources throughout the game world.
• Rebalanced emissive lighting, reducing visual artifacts caused by emissive surfaces.
• PS5 Pro: Major Hardware Ray Tracing performance improvements.
• PS5 Pro: PSSR 2 Updates for Performance modes
• PS5, PS5 Pro, and Xbox Series X: Improved draw distance, affecting both distant landscapes and smaller world objects.
• Improved night sky rendering significantly reduces previous blurriness.
• Updated numerous LODs throughout the game, reducing the appearance of low-detail models at close range.
• Improved garage lighting to better showcase truck interiors and cabin add-ons.
• Updated the post-processing profile for improved visuals during sunny daytime conditions.
