American Truck Simulator's Montana DLC has launched, and developer SCS Software has a host of free updates ready to support the launch.

Montana follows the format of previous American Truck Simulator DLC releases, providing a full new state to explore at an $11.99 / £9.99 / €11.99 price tag. There are 15 cities and 17 settlements to explore, plus a whole lot of beautiful sites around locations like the Glacier and Yellowstone national parks.

Two days ago, SCS also unveiled a "secret project" the studio had been working on with truck manufacturer Western Star: an in-game version of the Western Star 57X, the real-life counterpart of which was revealed on the same day. The new truck is available for free, whether or not you pick up Montana.

SCS Software is digging back into its own history books with Montana, as the state previously appeared in the studio's 18 Wheels of Steel series, long before Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator became unlikely Steam hits. They're also continuing to bury Easter eggs for the community in various updates, so eagle-eyed truckers have a reason to keep rolling.
