Hello truckers!
We’ve got a gigantic truckload of updates for you today. Alaskan Road Truckers has its first full expansion filled with challenges, new locations, and much more. What’s better is that it’s free and comes along with a big update for the main game too.
Here’s the lowdown on the Ice Roads Expansion for Alaskan Road Truckers:
Stay Frosty on the Ice Roads

One of the core things we wanted to focus on in Alaskan Road Truckers is that feeling of teetering on the edge between success and disaster. That’s why our game has features like hunger, temperature, and more to make the world immersive and put you in the boots of an Alaskan trucker.
Our new expansion, Ice Roads, cranks everything up a notch. In it you’ll find a whole new area to explore that adds a ton of new roads and routes to the game, all focused around the coldest of conditions.
