American Truck Simulator 1.40: New Lighting Release

American Truck Simulator 1.40 is now released as a full update. It was a beta update but now it has a stable release. To update to ATS 1.40 you just need to open Steam and it will automatically do the work. Just like always, we bring you mods for the latest version, the best ATS 1.40 mods.

As mentioned before, literally the highlight of this update is the new lighting. After working a lot to reskin and adapt the models and all the world in ATS, it’s now official. We certainly love it and it takes American Truck Simulator to the next level. You can read more about the inner workings of this project on SCS’s blog. Also below we left a video where you can learn more about what’s new.
