Freight hauling may be a common activity among space sims like Elite Dangerous<\/a> and No Man’s Sky<\/a>, but Star Trucker<\/a> is a little different from other futuristic delivery fare. Monster and Monster’s hybrid trucking sim dedicates itself to synthesising grand journeys across the cosmos with the specific vehicle handling and road networks of Euro Truck Simulator 2<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The combination was relatively well received by players when Star Trucker launched in 2024, earning itself a “Mostly Positive”<\/a> rating on Steam out of just under 3,000 reviews. Now Monster and Monster is celebrating a whole year of interplanetary logistics, with the double delivery of an anniversary update and a big discount.<\/p>\n

Said anniversary update brings a container’s worth of new features to Star Trucker, foremost among which is peripheral support. Henceforth, you can increase the realism of driving a rocket-propelled truck along roads strung through space by plugging in the joystick\/steering wheel\/custom Millennium Falcon dashboard of your choice.<\/p>\n

While the update is designed to accommodate the broadest range of peripherals possible, in a dev blog<\/a> Monster and Monster points out that it is a small team and therefore “it’s impossible for us to try them all ourselves”. Hence, the studio has provided a guide<\/a> and an FAQ<\/a> to assist with peripheral setup. It also requests players submit information about their devices via a Google form<\/a>, so it can add further preset configurations to Star Trucker in the future.<\/p>\n
