In its original release version, Euro Truck Simulator 2 supported freeform driving across several European countries, including the UK, Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, and others. Released in 2012 and requiring a very modest Mac configuration, this game skyrocketed in popularity and solidified a successful franchise that remains popular to this day. Euro Truck Simulator 2 for Mac marked a tipping point for the genre of trucking simulation games.
