Bus Simulator 27 Expands the Franchise

Düsseldorf, Germany — February 26, in the year of our Lord 2026 — astragon Entertainment and developer Simteract today pulled the curtain back on Bus Simulator 27, the next flagship entry in the long-running simulation franchise.

Positioned as the most ambitious and content-rich Bus Simulator to date, Bus Simulator 27 dramatically expands the scope of the series with its largest licensed fleet ever, a long-awaited partnership with Solaris™, and—for the first time—coach buses and long-distance passenger routes.

A Fleet Built to Set the Category Standard

Bus Simulator 27 delivers a clear escalation in production value and licensing depth, featuring over 45 officially licensed vehicles from 13 globally recognized manufacturers. Returning partners include Mercedes-Benz, MAN, IVECO BUS, Scania, and Volvo—now joined by Solaris™, marking a major milestone for the franchise and a long-requested addition from the community.

Beyond classic rigid and articulated buses, players can expect double-deckers, electric vehicles, and the franchise’s biggest gameplay shift yet: fully playable coach buses, enabling intercity and long-distance transport for the first time in the series’ history.

Felicia Bay: A New Region, A Bigger Business Fantasy

Set in Felicia Bay, a sun-drenched, fictional region inspired by the Iberian Peninsula, Bus Simulator 27 leans further into the operator fantasy at the heart of the brand. Players are tasked with rebuilding trust in public transportation by growing a modern bus company from the ground up—designing routes, managing schedules, expanding fleets, and hiring drivers across a living urban environment.

The game supports Story, Career, and Sandbox modes, playable solo or in 4-player online co-op, reinforcing astragon’s long-term strategy around accessible, non-violent simulation experiences with deep systemic depth.

Release Window and Platforms

Bus Simulator 27 is scheduled to launch in the second half of 2026 on PC (Steam, Epic Games Store, Microsoft Store) as well as PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
