PS5 On the Road – Truck Simulator
-
On the Road – Truck Simulator (also called ON THE ROAD – The Truck Simulator) is a realistic truck driving simulation game available on PS5 (and PS4, with backward compatibility).
Key Features
- Large Open-World Map: Explore over 6,500 km of motorways and country roads, primarily based on German routes and cities with detailed recreations.
- Truck Variety: Drive from 18-ton trucks to massive gigaliners. Manage your own trucking company, hire drivers, buy/upgrade trucks, and handle logistics for various cargo (e.g., containers, livestock).
- Realistic Simulation: Focus on driving physics, route planning, and management elements typical of the genre.
- PS5 Enhancements: Recent graphics update (released around late 2024/2025) improves visuals, buildings, times of day, weather effects, draw distance, and adds more save slots (now 3 on PS5).
Reception and Gameplay
- Ratings: It has mixed reviews — around 2.73/5 stars on the PlayStation Store from thousands of ratings. Many players enjoy the scale and realism, but some note it can feel dated or less polished compared to competitors like Truck Driver or PC titles like Euro Truck Simulator 2.
- Single-player only, offline play supported. Good for relaxing, long-haul driving sessions.
- Community discussions (e.g., on Reddit) compare it to other console truck sims, with recent updates helping its visuals.
