1.51 Update: New Title Screen

[COSMIN]

With the upcoming 1.51 update for both Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator, one of the first and most prominent changes players will encounter is a complete redesign of the title screen.


Whilst keeping in line with our recent user interface rework, we wanted a design which is easy to navigate and understand for all players. First and foremost, one of the main difference you'll notice about the new title screen is the focus on a truck in the centre of the screen.


On the left side, you'll find the menu which allows easy access to the more important features of the game, such as Options, your Profile Manager, or other sub-menus such as the DLC Browser or Mod Manager which are now located under the 'Extras' part of the menu. You will also find the current version of the game displayed in the bottom left corner. If an update is available for the game, text above the version of the game will appear to notify you of that.


On the right side of the menu, you can find a widget featuring your currently selected profile and current trucker level. Hovering over this widget allows you quick glance at your profile statistics. In some cases, additional widgets may appear on the right side, for example, if your current profile is not connected to World of Trucks or if you are using a 'Open Beta' version of the game.

On the bottom right, you'll find our carousel of small banners, which gives players quick and easy access to the latest news from our official blog and features graphics presenting our newest releases.


Functionally, we have also made navigation more comfortable with a gamepad or a steering wheel, requiring less time reaching for a keyboard from the moment you launch ETS2 or ATS. This design also leaves us space to make tweaks and changes where needed, as-well as make additions in the future.

We hope you that enjoy this new look and overhaul of the Title Screen in the upcoming 1.51 update. Be sure to keep an eye our on our social media channels (X, Instagram, Facebook) for more news on other changes and additions found in this update. Until then, keep on truckin'!
