The ultimate trucking challenge? Heavy Cargo – The Truck Simulator rolls onto PC and console.
Aerosoft and tox² interactive release Heavy Cargo – The Truck Simulator, a realistic and immersive trucking simulation that puts you in the driver’s seat of powerful vehicles hauling oversized loads.
It’s available now on Xbox Series X|S, PC (via Steam), and PlayStation 5, to offer a unique and challenging trucking experience that goes beyond simply delivering cargo from point A to point B. What do you mean there’s not more to trucking than that?
More Than Just Trucking
In Heavy Cargo – The Truck Simulator, you’ll take on the role of a heavy cargo transporter, responsible for every aspect of the operation, from meticulous planning and route scouting to the careful execution of challenging deliveries.
Before you even start your journey, you’ll need to assess potential obstacles, dismantle guardrails, adjust road signs, and even utilise cranes to ensure safe passage for your massive cargo.
Authenticity and Realism
Developed in close partnership with industry leader Gruber Logistics, Heavy Cargo offers an authentic portrayal of the complexities involved in heavy cargo transport.
The game features realistic vehicle models, including fully licensed MAN trucks and a variety of trailers, as well as dynamic weather and day-night cycles that add an extra layer of challenge and immersion.
We guess this one is going up against the likes of Truck Driver and Ice Truckers. But can it own the highway? We’ll let you know in full review.

Before you start your journey with your truck and its various trailers and cargo, you often have to explore the route with the spotting vehicle first that you control yourself.
