June 08, 2026

Astragon and developer Simteract revealed during IGN Live that Bus Simulator 27 launches on September 8, 2026 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. The new Coach Bus Journey Trailer showcases the series' first-ever long-distance routes with officially licensed coaches. Pre-orders are available now across all platforms.

Long-Distance Driving Comes to Felicia Bay

For the first time in the franchise, players can tackle extended intercity routes spanning the entire fictional region of Felicia Bay – a southern European locale packed with coastlines, beaches, small villages, and two cities. Three newly licensed coach buses join the lineup:

  • Mercedes-Benz Tourismo
  • Scania Irizar i8
  • MAN Lion's Coach

These coaches let players connect city routes with much longer hauls, expanding well beyond traditional urban bus driving.

A Year 1 Edition will be available alongside the Standard Edition. The Year 1 Season Pass includes:

  • The Mercedes-Benz Intouro (another licensed coach)
  • Additional Bus Packs and Cosmetic Packs
  • A major FlixBus Expansion arriving later in Year 1

Pre-ordering any edition unlocks the Deluxe Pack as a bonus, which adds the HESS lighTram 12 Plug, the Alexander Dennis Enviro 100EV, and four exclusive bus skins.

  • PC (Steam, Epic Games Store, Microsoft Store)
