Star Trucker at One: Past, Present and a Peek Around the Bend
Anybody got their ears on?
It’s September 3, and Star Trucker has been out for one year!
It’s been a mighty long road to this point, and we’re so happy to share this moment with all our fellow truckers. We thought that it might be a good time to go back through some of the bigger updates that we’ve released for Star Trucker. If it’s been a bit of time since you go out into the galaxy – now might is a great time to come back!
Additional Customization
Since September 3rd 2024, a whole range of new options to customize your rig with have been released. From new hood ornaments, to changing the color of the metal on your chassis, to custom license plates. See the galaxy in style and make your truck your own!
Free Play Mode
For all those who want to haul instead of holla, the Free Play Mode has made that possible! This mode starts the game with the entire galaxy unlocked and all truck features enabled. Furthermore, convoy side jobs have been disabled so you can cruise in peace.
Mid-Session Difficulty, Rebalancing and Job Adjustments
Cash was a bit slow to flow when our Truckers first got out on the open galaxy – but with a couple tweaks we’ve made sure that you’re getting your trucking career off to the right start. Still finding it a bit too hard? You can now adjust the difficulty mid-session to truck a little easier.
Sleeping and Parking Tickets
Camp out in your cab for the night! But be careful where you decide to pull over because we’ve also added in the ability to get ticketed. Sleep for too long in a restricted area and end up paying a fine – so be careful out there!
New! Speed Traps
Brand new to Star Trucker, and due to the utter disregard of highway safety, the DIV has no choice but to install speed checks across key zones and sectors. Speeders beware – if you thought that those sleeping tickets were rough, just wait until you see the speeding tickets!
More to Come
We shared a road map back in July to showcase what we’ve got planned for the rest of the year, and while this is a smaller update – you have a lot more to look forward to in a couple months including:
- Exciting new business ventures.
- New jobs and interior customization .
- A possible brand-new DLC – stay tuned!
Until then, we hope you’ve enjoyed your first year with Star Trucker as much as we.
Over and out!

HAUL AND HOLLER
Cruise the hyper highways, taking on a variety of jobs such as fuel hungry long hauls and hazardous drop-offs to earn cash and unlock new content.
And don't forget to monitor the CB radio for chatter from fellow truckers; it's a fantastic way to uncover side gigs and stay updated on galactic gossip.
MANAGE AND MAINTAIN
Keeping your rig runnin’ isn’t always easy. You’ll need to keep your core systems online, gravity compensator spinnin’ and hull patched to prevent your cab from leaking lung juice.
Be sure to make pre-trip shop stops for replacement parts, and consider upgrading your truck at a local garage. These improvements are vital for safely navigating volatile sectors and ensuring timely deliveries.
HYPERJUMP!
Use the galactic map to plan your journey and warp jumps, while keeping an eye on your fuel reserves and power levels.
Once your route is set, kick back, crank up the cab hi-fi and cruise to a selection of original songs covering starburst blues, galactic rock and asteroid infused americana. The open road is waiting!
MADE BY MONSTERS
Star Trucker is the passion project of a small team: Monster and Monster. A two-person indie studio with a love for all things sci-fi and sim.
With the help of some talented friends they’ve developed an out of this world experience filled with emergent challenges and complex systems to master. So buckle up and join them for the long haul!
