TruckersMP is a free multiplayer mod for Euro Truck Simulator 2 (ETS2) and American Truck Simulator that puts you in a shared world with thousands of other players. It’s an unofficial community project run by volunteers, not made or supported by SCS Software. Getting started takes three steps: register on truckersmp.com through Steam, download the launcher and pick a server. Here’s the full process, an overview of the servers, the rules and how it compares to the official Convoy mode.
Short answer: what TruckersMP is
The official multiplayer from SCS Software is called Convoy, and it has been free in ETS2 since update 1.41 in July 2021. It holds up to 8 players in a private session, though. TruckersMP works differently: it’s one shared world where you meet thousands of drivers on the road. The project is free and run by the community, not the game’s developers.
What you need
- ETS2 on Steam. You must own the game, and it can’t be hidden in your Steam library.
- A public Steam profile. Both your profile and your game details must be set to public.
- A supported game version. TruckersMP always supports one specific ETS2 version. As of 14 November 2026 that’s 1.62.3.2s, matching the current 1.62 release. If you’re on a different version, TruckersMP has a guide to downgrading through Steam.
- A PC that runs the game. Requirements match ETS2 (minimum Windows 10 64-bit, Intel Core i5-6400 or AMD Ryzen 3 1200, 8 GB RAM, GeForce GTX 660 or Radeon RX 460 with 2 GB) plus 1 GB of disk space.
Registration
- Go to truckersmp.com and click Register.
- Choose Sign in through Steam and log in with your Steam account.
- Enter a username, email address and password.
- Once registered, you can link the DLCs you own to your account.
If registration fails, check your Steam privacy settings first. The step-by-step guide is in the TruckersMP knowledge base.
Launcher install
- Log in on the website and open the Download page. The launcher is only available once you’re logged in.
- Download and run
TruckersMP-Setup.exe. - Let the launcher fetch updates (Download Updates).
- Click Play.
If the launcher can’t find your game, you can set the path manually in its settings. For mods in single-player and in Convoy, see our guide on installing ETS2 mods.
Servers
After launching, you choose a server. These are available for ETS2:
| Server | Speed limit | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| Simulation 1 | 110 km/h | collisions on, most players |
| Simulation 2 | 150 km/h | simulation server with a higher limit |
| [US] and [Asia] Simulation | 150 km/h | simulation servers for other regions |
| Arcade | no limit | no collisions |
| ProMods | – | requires every ETS2 map DLC and the ProMods mod |
| Event Server | – | events |
See which maps exist and what they cost in our ETS2 DLC list. TruckersMP doesn’t support the Special Transport DLC.
Bear in mind there’s no AI traffic in TruckersMP. The only vehicles on the road are other players. The AI Traffic project is on hold, with no date given for its return.
What you get in TruckersMP
- CB radio for voice chat plus text chat,
- a player list on the Tab key,
- its own Scout Car with a caravan,
- regular events and convoys,
- reporting for players who break the rules.
Rules
The TruckersMP rules apply on every server and are enforced by Game Moderators. Breaking them can get you kicked from the server or temporarily banned. Read them before your first drive.

If you mostly want to drive with a group of friends, Convoy is the better fit. Our Convoy multiplayer guide shows how to set it up.
