Select a vehicle and set out into the rocky flats of Utah or the forests of Europe on a relaxing cross-country trip. Hunt for secrets and soak in the scenery during open-ended procedural drives with randomized goals dictated by vehicle selection, allowing for an endless sense of adventure.

“With the relaunch and expansion of Offroad Truck Simulator: Heavy Duty Challenge®, we are thrilled to welcome simulation fans to the exciting world of offroad driving,” said Maarten Janello, Product Manager at Aerosoft.
