Hello, Truckers!

We're ending the week on a high note with the launch of a brand-new Truck Driver®: The American Dream update! Patch #23 is now live on PlayStation®5 and Xbox Series X|S, bringing a host of new features, enhancements, and platform-specific improvements.

Patch #23 introduces major improvements across all platforms, including enhanced traffic behavior and density, optimized vegetation and collision systems, and updated speeding fine logic. Platform-specific updates improve dynamic resolution performance, especially on PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X.

Thank you for your ongoing support! We hope you enjoy this update. There’s plenty more content and enhancements coming down the highway, so stay tuned! Don’t forget to check out the full Patch Notes below.

Patch Notes (PS5 V1.000.023 & Xbox Series X|S V1.0.0.8):

All Platforms

• Added license plates to all traffic vehicles in the game
• Numerous environmental fixes – removed grass patches from roads, terrain clipping through roads, etc.
• Vegetation optimization – improved distribution, density, and shadow rendering
• Navigation fixes and full regeneration of the navigation mesh
• Improved traffic density around the player
• Improved collision detection for traffic vehicles to smooth behavior at junctions
• Navigation system performance improvements – stuttering when the navigation target update is far away from the player has been resolved
• Updated physical collision for traffic vehicles, reducing instances where vehicles would collide near traffic lights (we are continuing to investigate and improve this)
• Five new FTR missions added, including time-based challenges
• Updated speeding fine logic – in this update, the player must exceed the speed limit by at least 2 mph to receive a fine
• Fixed bugs in story chapters related to event timing or certain dialogues not triggering
• When the player’s stamina drops below 10%, there is now a chance for blurred vision. This effect occurs randomly when stamina is under 10%

PS5 Pro Only

• Updated version of PSSR
• Added a “cinematic” Bloom profile (typically used in offline rendering) – this effect is enabled only in Fidelity and Fidelity Unlocked modes
• GPU and memory optimizations that can increase the average dynamic resolution on PS5 Pro by up to 5%

PS5

• GPU and memory optimizations that can increase the average dynamic resolution by up to 5% in Performance mode and up to 10% in Fidelity mode

Xbox Series X

• GPU and memory optimizations that can increase the average dynamic resolution by up to 10% in Performance mode and up to 20% in Fidelity mode
  
  

Plus, many smaller bug fixes and general improvements.

We are continuing to work on traffic improvements (e.g. preventing vehicles from unnecessarily slowing down at empty intersections), new FTR missions, an improved zoomed-in map quality, and overall visual enhancements.
