At first, the player can only take what are known as Quick jobs-these jobs involve making hired driver deliveries while employed by a delivery company, with a provided truck and all expenses (fuel, road tolls, ferry crossings) covered. Players choose their HQ's location in any of the game map's cities. The game has sold over 5 million units on Steam as of July 2019, according to the metrics website Steam Spy. As the game progresses, it is possible for the player to buy more vehicles and depots, as well as hire other drivers to work for them. The player can drive one of a choice of articulated trucks across a depiction of Europe, picking up cargo from various locations and delivering it. The game is a direct sequel to the 2008 game Euro Truck Simulator and it is the second video game in the Truck Simulator series. Euro Truck Simulator 2 (commonly abbreviated as ETS 2) is a vehicle simulation game developed and published by SCS Software for Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS and was initially released as open development on 19 October 201.
