After yesterday’s announcement of the next American Truck Simulator expansion, Euro Truck Simulator 2 continues pushing forward with its own latest version. Update 1.3.5 contains a large amount of quality of life improvements, increases the variety of your virtual trucking adventures, and adds GPS voice navigation.
Euro Truck Simulator 2 Update 1.3.5
The latest update brings Euro Truck Simulator 2 a step closer to covering all of Europe by adding the island of Sardinia. Plenty of tweaks have also been made to roads in Germany, France, and signage in Scandinavia. Update 1.3.5 had been in open beta for a month or so now, so the list of changes is long. The most exciting new addition is GPS voice navigation.
Euro Truck Simulator 2 Open Beta 1.35.0.99 is here to test a new feature improving player experience when using the built-in navigation. 🔊

Available in 9 different languages (English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Russian, Polish, Turkish and Mandarin Chinese), SCS Software considers this to be the first phase, so there may be room for improvement. If the male English voice sounds familiar, it’s because you’re listening to Doug Cockle. It’s Geralt the Witcher, folks, telling you where to turn. I’d listen.
