Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator will soon be much easier to learn with a future patch for Windows and Steam Deck

SCS Software, the (self-published) developers behind American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2, are about to make the unusually appealing PC driving games a little easier to comprehend for newcomers with the introduction of a Multi-Function Display (MFD) menu. It's a work in progress, but the tiny pop-up screen promises to simplify the game's controls.

Currently, you can play both games with a mouse and keyboard, a traditional joypad, or even a truck-themed steering wheel, but you'll need to remember a lengthy list of control binds to use all the features of your virtual truck. SCS Software even acknowledges that both games exhibit a "very large number of functions and controls that many players may never fully discover or use".
