- Quick Answer: Euro Truck Simulator 2's Iceland expansion was released on Steam on November 10, 2026, adding 14 cities reachable by ferry from Hirtshals, Rotterdam, and Ålesund.
Euro Truck Simulator 2 has an official Iceland expansion. SCS Software's Iceland map expansion went live on Steam at approximately 18:10 CET on November 10, 2026, almost 17 months after the studio first announced it.
Until now, trucking around Iceland in the game meant installing the fan-made ProMods map. SCS took a deliberately sparse approach with its own version.
The 2025 announcement warned players, "don't expect a dense web of highways," and the shipped map leans on a single ring road with towns scattered along the coast.
Iceland Adds 14 Cities Along the Ring Road
The expansion adds 14 cities and settlements, led by Reykjavík and Akureyri. Route 1, the Ring Road locals call Hringvegur, is the backbone, with regional detours concentrated in the southwest.
SCS has also built out Routes 36, 41, 49, and 60, with Route 41 linking the capital to Keflavík and its shipyard, car dealer, and supermarket depots.
Reykjavík carries most of the island's heavy freight. The Straumsvík aluminum smelter and the Sundahöfn container port both work as depots, and a logistics hub sits in nearby Garðabær.
Away from the capital, Húsavík has a silica factory, and Reyðarfjörður has an aluminum plant on its fjord.
Custom quarries under the MS Stein brand run in Selfoss, Patreksfjörður, and Blönduós, and one custom depot loads logs dynamically at the end of its own tunnel.
Three Ferry Routes Connect Iceland to the Mainland
There is no road in. Players reach the island on one of three ferry routes. Hirtshals in Denmark sails to Seyðisfjörður, mirroring Smyril Line's real service.
Rotterdam Europoort sails to Þorlákshöfn on a route that only carries freight in reality, which SCS converted into a regular truck ferry.
The third route, Ålesund to Seyðisfjörður, does not exist in real life. SCS added it for more travel options, and it opens Ålesund's ferry port for the first time.
SCS warns that crossings come with "a rather hefty price tag," and Quick Travel to a garage in Iceland is available for anyone who would rather skip the fare. A smaller domestic ferry also crosses Breiðafjörður between Stykkishólmur and Brjánslækur.
Single-Lane Bridges and an Undersea Tunnel Join the Ring Road
Iceland's single-lane bridges are in, and drivers have to give way to oncoming traffic before crossing. The Ring Road also runs through an undersea tunnel.
Map design lead Ivo described the project as having "an emphasis on small roads and sparsely populated areas" in a November 2025 dev blog.
Scenic viewpoints cover Jökulsárlón, Goðafoss, Gullfoss, Seljalandsfoss, the black sand beach at Víkurfjara, Geysir and Strokkur in Haukadalur, Þingvellir, and Stuðlagil Canyon.
The terrain between them ranges from volcanic fields and glaciers to the East Fjords and the Westfjords.
Transparent Water Debuts in Euro Truck Simulator 2
Iceland introduces transparent water and foam effects, a first for the game. SCS says the effect shows up at dozens of locations around the island. The studio first showed it in an October 31 dev blog, alongside the ferry route reveal.
Northern Lights and Real-World Daylight Come With the Map
The Northern Lights can appear over the island under suitable conditions, and daylight hours follow Iceland's real-world timing.
Special Transport Owners Get Four Routes and the Articulated Dumper
Players who own the Special Transport DLC get four new oversize routes on the island: Selfoss to Selfoss, Keflavík to Selfoss, Blönduós to Akureyri, and Ólafsvík to Hólmavík.
The routes also bring the Articulated Dumper, a cargo that was previously exclusive to American Truck Simulator.
Cruising Iceland Runs Until January 3
The Cruising Iceland World of Trucks event started alongside the release and ends January 3, 2027, at 23:59 UTC.
The community goal is 175,000,000 kilometers of deliveries to or from Iceland, counting jobs of at least 150 kilometers taken through External Contracts or the in-game Market.
Delivering to or from all 14 cities earns a World of Trucks achievement and the Fire and Ice paint job.
A single job to or from Patreksfjörður unlocks an Atlantic Puffin cabin accessory, and reaching the community goal adds a Tröll hanging figurine to the rewards.
Coaches DLC Follows on November 12
Iceland lands five days after the 1.62 base-game update, which added new garage models across every map, three DAF XG+ special editions, and a Game Radio update.
SCS's next release is the Coaches DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2, due November 12.
The Iceland expansion is available now on Steam for Euro Truck Simulator 2 owners.
