astragon Entertainment and stillalive studios have announced that their bus driving game Bus Simulator is heading to consoles this September. The title will bring the same level of simulation and gameplay that made the PC version so special. The game will be available to purchase on both PS4 and Xbox One digitally.
Bus Simulator for PS4 and Xbox One will offer bus and simulation fans the opportunity to create and run their very own bus company. Set in the fictional city of Seaside Valley and its surroundings, the game will offer players the option to set up their bus company and run it in single player or team up with three additional players in multiplayer and complete as many routes as possible.
Bus Simulator also comes with a selection of officially licensed buses which range from IVECO to Mercedes Benz. The buses also come in various sizes to cater to different routes. You will get to choose from standard buses to longer metro-style buses which can accommodate a large number of passengers. You will be able to set up routes and hire drivers to run these buses as well.

The Steam version of Bus Simulator, Bus Simulator 18, received a map expansion in May 2019 and it added two brand new areas to the game for you to explore and expand. It is not known at this point whether this expansion will be included in the console release or not.
We have reached out to the developer and are awaiting their confirmation at this point. Since the game is coming at a later time, we are hoping that it will ship with the expansion. Check back soon for an update on the expansion.
Bus Simulator is slated for release on both consoles PS4 and Xbox One on September 17, 2019. The PC version is now out via Steam.
