Bus Simulator Official Map Extension Arrives on Consoles

News: There are now new routes and stops to add to your travel plans with the release of this new content for Bus Simulator.

The official map extension for Bus Simulator on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 has finally pulled into the station. This new content opens up an unexplored area in the southern part of the map which includes numerous new road miles and the two city districts of Kerststadt and Sonnstein. While the university district of Kerststadt with its nearby airport is known as the region’s “TechHub”, the idyllic mountain village of Sonnstein counts as one of the most popular tourist attractions for nature lovers in Seaside Valley.

In addition to the new areas, players can also look forward to nine new missions. Within these missions the player's task will be to link the two new districts, the airport and various additional tourist attractions with the city center of the Bus Simulator metropolis Seaside Valley.

The extended road network of the Official Map Extension does not only include 20 additional bus stops but also varied landscapes as well as some really challenging road sections. Especially on the route between Kerststadt International Airport and the mountain village of Sonnstein, bus drivers will be able to put their driving skills to the test, when maneuvering their vehicles through narrow tunnels and tight serpentine curves. As a reward, players will enjoy a whole range of unique panoramic views across the dale and the sprawling urban areas of downtown Seaside Valley.

Just like in the Bus Simulator main game, the new urban areas and missions of the Official Map Extension can also be explored in the multiplayer mode together with up to three other players. It should be stated though that there doesn’t appear to be any new trophies or achievements in this new downloadable content. Also, if you have been trouble with achievements or trophies not unlocking, that hasn’t been fixed as of the time this article was posted.

The Official Map Extension for Bus Simulator on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One is now available for 12.99 EUR / 12.99 USD / 10.74 GBP (RSP) as a digital download on the PlayStation Store as well as the Microsoft Store. Players who do not own Bus Simulator yet can buy the main game for 39.99 Euro, 39.99 USD, 34.99 GBP (RSP). Will you be buying this? Tell us in the comment section below.
