[Wesleygcbox]

Developers, Release Euro truck simulator 2 for Xbox, we need this game there.

Won't happen. That console is 22 years old and not at all capable of running the game.

Ets2 will never come to consoles

@marac, said who?

SCS have console development kits in use. They are keen to adapt the two trucking titles to console. They have expressed a wish to build these titles from the ground up for consoles, rather than giving the project to a third party porting house, which frequently doesn't go well.

Xbox Series X?S and Xbox one users can play the games using Nvidia's GeForce Now cloud gaming platform. It can take a few days after Steam release to be able to use new DLC content via this system.

Consoles are too limited for non-official and exotics peripherals...
However, there is a big market to take.
Personally, I would be afraid of the face of the portage if that were to happen.

You don't need additional button boxes and peripherals for many console games. Console games use a multi-option setting overlay to select between multiple actions. many console ports use a similar option on PC.

The Steam Deck and similar hand held devices can also play these titles.

Wait, I remember during one development announcement, the devs said the engine upgrade would make it more possible for porting to consoles, though not a guarantee. But I'm quite sure they have started planning / working on it.

it would sell well, i bet.

I wanted to speak at the immersion level.
It is on that I prefer to play with the pad with wreckfest (among others) rather than with the cockpit. ETS2 is cockpit only for me.

I was able to test Elite Dangerous on PC with a keymap of 10km long , distributed on the joystick, thruster and keyboard .
And its xbox version and its 50 actions for each button in combination , on 1 pad ...
I have a very bad memory of it.

it would sell well so why not. I have Xbox Series X and I will be very happy to play ETS2 on xbox :)

[ED-2142]

Me too .
If Xbox's policy was more open for exotic devices.
Xbox 250w VS PC 1000w, I wouldn't say no, especially in summer.

[Ryūko Matoi]

they probably will in a few years

I want to add some info that has been linked to me over on the ATS board. It is information that Pavel was giving in an interview in Czech language from a Czech YouTube channel that he sometimes guests on. Pavel is SCS CEO.

ATS and ETS2 will not come on the console within half a year, but they could within a year" "due to the technical requirements of the game, ATS and ETS2 will reach the stage that the player who will no longer be able to receive new game content so that his computer can handle it, a version intended for him will be written into the game requirements, which will be on steam, at this stage not yet we are but we will" "with the new game engine, new graphic possibilities and elements will open up for us in the next 1-2 years

The Translation to English was done by Trucker Nik on the SCS forum. This paragraph is the tenth down and it is in the sixth post from the top of the page.

TLDR - possible for SCS to release console versions next year - possibly around the second quarter of 2024. This isn't yet a confirmed date, just tentative possibility from the interview at end of July 2023.
