In addition to buses by Daimler Buses and MAN as well as a more the twice as large game world compared to its predecessor, players of Bus Simulator 18 can already look forward to even more possibilities in regards to bus and city modding as well as a synchronous multiplayer mode.

Bus Simulator 18 is being developed in Unreal Engine 4, which means even more and better creative options in regards to the game’s graphics for stillalive studios.

Further interesting features of Bus Simulator 18 include a day/night cycle as well as an enhanced progression system.

Just like the PC version, Bus Simulator for Xbox One and PS4 will offer players the unique opportunity to create their own bus company in the fictional European city of Seaside Valley and establish a veritable bus empire with official licensed buses by well-known brands such as Mercedes-Benz, Setra, MAN and IVECO BUS.

Thanks to the great number of available buses and numerous, challenging missions, as well as a huge city with various districts, players can look forward to long-lasting fun and plenty of variety.

Another highlight of Bus Simulator on consoles will be the game’s multiplayer mode, which will offer players the unique opportunity to create and manage a bus company with up to three other virtual drivers. Together they can set out to complete numerous missions, expand the city's new bus network, unlock and develop new city districts, drive alongside each other in cooperative convoy trips, or utilize the ticket inspector mode, which will allow one player to drive the bus while a colleague checks the passenger’s tickets or assists in the many in-bus events such as customers listening to loud music or blocking the doors.
