ATS/ETS2 On PS4 & Xbox One.

[iiSerene ☆]

I have been playing ATS since September 2018, it had a huge evolution since then, currently, it is only for PC. I think it should be also put on the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4 for around $24.99. I really think ATS & ETS2 Should be on PlayStation 4, and Xbox One

I've been playing ATS since it was a month old. I use an Xbox controller. I think it would be cool to have it on a console but, I really enjoy it on PC so not sure if I'd switch.

It would either be ugly as sin, run like hell or possibly both. It's not exactly "well optimized" even for PC.

Pavel has spoken about consoles before and there are reasons why they have not done this. They have made no commitment other than to say they would like to make it available but only when it can be done well and not disadvantage the PC version.

It used to be easy to find interviews where Pavel has spoken on subjects but because he does more interviews now including live streams it is much more difficult to pin down which interview he has spoken on certain subjects in detail. I know he gave an in-depth talk about it in one of his interviews but I can't remember which one. However, I know Squirrel asked about it in this interview.

If you want more information then I suggest you google the live stream interviews SCS has done and watch them.

Just to add: SCS has been expanding it's workforce to be able to release content for ATS and ETS2 quicker. That is what players of both games have been demanding. Having the game on console would require employing more people again so I doubt very much if it will happen in the near future even if there is demand.

There's also the fact I've heard that PS4 and XBox updates require certification and that costs money. SCS updates both games every few months it appears and those costs can add up very fast.

It would run fine. The recommended hardware specs for both of these games is much lower than the hardware specs for both current gen consoles.

Also porting to XBox One would be significantly easier than to PS4 because XBox One runs on a stripped down version of windows 10.

we woudnt have all the lovely mods, so i prefer this title on pc.

what wim1234 said.

Why do you think there wouldn't be mods? Farm Sim is a perfect example of having mods on Xbox One.

sure but thats not going to happen for ets/ats.
very very few titles take the trouble of making mods possible on consoles, its a hassle , either
with sony or microsoft.
i dont see this title going to console.

[AyMazingATS]

It probably never will be ported, I agree. I only mentioned about Farm Sim as the ability to have mods on console is possible.

There is way too much work ahead for SCS in both games to even consider the notion, then plus the added costs that Twin Shadow mentioned. Moving to console will be a very huge mistake.
