Bus Simulator 21 Next Stop – Gold Edition allows new bus fans to look forward to an all-in-one package. Gold Edition contains Bus Simulator 21 as well as all the game's previously released premium DLCs – including the MAN Bus Pack, the IVECO BUS Bus Pack, the VDL Bus Pack, the USA Skin Pack, the Angel Shores Insider Skin Pack, and the Protect Nature Interior Pack. All other free bonus DLCs for the game are available for free download on the respective digital platforms.

Look forward to Bus Simulator 21 and the most comprehensive and advanced fleet in the history of the series. Bus Simulator 21 and its DLC sees a fleet of more than 40 officially licensed buses from well-known, international manufacturers, such as Volvo, Alexander Dennis, Scania, BYD, Grande West, and Blue Bird, join the models from the popular brands already included in the preceding installment (Mercedes-Benz, Setra, IVECO BUS, and MAN). For the first time, you will have the chance to master the daily challenges of the road, while in the cockpit of double-decker and electric buses.

Get ready for the brand-new and impressive North American Angel Shores map and a revamped version of the European Seaside Valley map from the previous game installment – including its map extension. The even greater open-world approach of Bus Simulator 21 means that you get to experience the exciting, daily life of a bus driver in two massive, freely explorable cities, including industrial and outlying districts, a vibrant Chinatown district, a promenade, the surrounding hilly countryside, and a business park. Different difficulty levels and play modes are available for a wide range of player types.

In Bus Simulator 21, not only will you become a veteran driver with countless miles on the road – you'll also have the option to use the extended management elements. Create detailed bus plans, buy and sell buses, and plan efficient routes that take the daily number of peak time passengers into account – all these, and more, tasks are available for you to enjoy.

Do you prefer to get out from behind the desk and take the wheel into your own hands? No problem! The auto management features available in Bus Simulator 21 will handle all the management duties for you, so that you can simply enjoy your time on the road.
Enjoy Bus Simulator 21 on PlayStation™Store for the most comprehensive bus driving experience in the history of the series!

Contains all previously released premium Bus Simulator 21 DLCs.

Included DLCs: MAN Bus Pack, IVECO BUS Bus Pack, VDL Bus Pack, USA Skin Pack, Angel Shores Insider Skin Pack, and Protect Nature Interior Pack.

This major update adds a brand-new career mode to the game.

Free map extension DLC, including numerous new tasks for all owners of the main game.

In addition to classic rigid and articulated buses, this new installment of the series also allows you to drive a double-decker bus and enjoy the future of public transport: the e-bus!

Featuring an even greater open-world approach and two huge and lively environments in North America and Europe, you'll itch to explore your surroundings.

Drive alone or with friends in coop multiplayer mode.

Optional, advanced management features such as creating detailed bus plans, visiting bus dealers on the map, or planning efficient routes that take passenger volumes at different times into account, also create an even deeper gameplay experience.

Supports popular steering wheels, gamepads, Tobii Eye Tracking, and TrackIR.
