1SnowRunner
Best overall

SnowRunner

4.32022
Co-op: 4ESRB Everyonemodern
Good101 reviews

Overall, player feedback for SnowRunner is overwhelmingly positive, with many praising the game's immersive driving mechanics, challenging terrain, and extensive content. However, some players expressed frustration with control issues and the game's difficulty level. The combination of enjoyable gameplay with friends and the sense of accomplishment from overcoming challenges has won many players over, despite the noted jankiness in controls and minor bugs.

Our take: The trucking game to start with, even though it's really an off-road hauling sim. You pilot heavy rigs through mud, rivers and snow across vast open maps, winching yourself out of trouble and hauling cargo where no normal truck could go — the terrain simulation is the whole point, not motorway cruising. It's by far the most popular game on this list (4.3 from over 29,500 PlayStation players) and runs on both PS4 and PS5, rated Everyone, with four-player co-op that's genuinely good. The honest caveat: if you specifically want long-haul highway trucking, this leans rugged and off-road — but as the best-made truck game on PlayStation, it's the obvious top pick.

2Star Trucker
Best sci-fi

Star Trucker

4.52025
ESRB Teensci-fi
Good37 reviews

Overall player feedback for 'Star Trucker' is very positive, emphasizing its engaging gameplay and impressive visuals despite some frustrations with controls and difficulty. Many players appreciate the unique concept and are excited for future updates that may improve the game further.

Our take: The highest-rated game here and the most original — trucking, in space. You drive a rocket-powered big rig through the stars, hauling cargo and scavenging salvage in an Americana-soaked open road set among the planets, managing your rig's systems as you go. A 4.5 from 690 players makes it the best-reviewed pick on this list, it's on PS5, and it's rated Teen. The catch is the audience is still small and there's no co-op — it's a single-player journey. But if you want the trucking fantasy with a fresh sci-fi twist instead of another euro-autobahn sim, nothing else comes close.

3RoadCraft
Best new release

RoadCraft

4.12025
Co-op: 4ESRB Everyonemodern
Mixed101 reviews

Overall player feedback on RoadCraft presents a mixed bag of experiences, with many players enjoying the relaxing gameplay and machinery operation, while others express frustration over technical issues, control mechanics, and unpolished elements of the game. Players are divided, with a significant number praising the fun of constructing and rebuilding roads, yet a substantial portion highlights severe bugs and lack of optimization as major deterrents.

Our take: The newest serious entry, from Saber Interactive — the same studio behind SnowRunner — so the off-road pedigree shows. RoadCraft sends you to rebuild roads, bridges and infrastructure after natural disasters using heavy machinery and hauling rigs, blending construction with the muddy terrain work the studio is known for. It's rated 4.1 from over 5,000 players, on PS5, ESRB Everyone, with co-op. The caveat is it's more logistics-and-rebuild than pure long-haul trucking, and being brand new the community is still small — but it's the most polished truck-adjacent release of the bunch.

4Truck and Logistics Simulator
Best for multiplayer

Truck and Logistics Simulator

3.62023
PS+ PlusCo-op: 24ESRB Everyone

Our take: The best of the straight truck sims, and the multiplayer standout. You load pallets, containers and vehicles across a large open world, running heavy-transport convoys with up to 24 players in cross-platform multiplayer — over 30 vehicles and genuinely involved loading tasks set it apart from the cheaper sims below. Rated 3.6 from around 2,300 players, on PS4 and PS5, ESRB Everyone, and included with PlayStation Plus so many of you can try it at no extra cost. It's a budget AEROSOFT production, so expect rougher edges than SnowRunner, but it's the one to pick if you want to actually drive a logistics operation with friends rather than alone.

5Alaskan Road Truckers: Highway Edition
PS+ TrialPS Plus PremiumESRB Everyone
Good5 reviews

Overall, player feedback for 'Alaskan Road Truckers: Highway Edition' is mostly positive, with many enjoying the realistic driving experience and the enjoyment it provides, especially when played with the right settings and equipment. However, there are notable concerns regarding performance issues, which some players found disappointing.

Our take: The most ambitious of the dedicated truck sims. Alaskan Road Truckers builds a survival layer onto the haul: you weigh risky shortcuts against safe routes, perform roadside repairs on your rig, and manage fatigue, even stepping out on foot in brutal conditions. Rated 3.4 from 3,366 players, on PS5, and it carries a PlayStation Plus Premium trial so you can sample it first. The honest caveat: the reception is mixed — the ideas are great but it shipped rough — so go in for the atmosphere and the survival angle rather than polish.

6Truck Driver
ESRB Everyone

Our take: A more traditional career trucker. Truck Driver puts you in a working community, building a reputation one delivery contract at a time as you upgrade and customise your rig; this Gold Edition bundles the Heading North DLC and extra content. It's rated 3.3 from around 5,000 players, on PS5, ESRB Everyone. It's an older, simpler sim that doesn't try to reinvent anything, so don't expect SnowRunner's depth or Star Trucker's spark — but as a relaxed, no-fuss "do deliveries, earn money, buy a better truck" loop it does the job.

7Heavy Cargo - The Truck Simulator
ESRB Everyone

Our take: The specialist pick — oversized and heavy cargo. Heavy Cargo has you hauling outsized loads across a 175km² open world through dynamic weather and day-night cycles, with an official Gruber Logistics licence behind the real-world transports. Rated 3.0 from around 1,100 players, on PS5, ESRB Everyone. It's the smallest audience on the list and another budget AEROSOFT sim, so it's rough and niche — worth a look only if the specific challenge of maneuvering enormous loads is what draws you, otherwise SnowRunner or Truck and Logistics Simulator do more.

8ON THE ROAD - The Truck Simulator
ESRB Everyone

Our take: The realistic euro-autobahn entry, included for completeness. ON THE ROAD models German motorways and country roads — over 6,500km of them — with licensed MAN trucks and a focus on authentic long-haul driving across 18-tonners up to the Gigaliner. It's on PS4 and PS5, ESRB Everyone. Be clear-eyed though: at 2.7 from nearly 6,000 players it's the lowest-rated game here, and it's dated and stiff. It earns its spot only as the closest thing to a Euro Truck Simulator-style experience on PlayStation — for dedicated sim diehards, not newcomers.

About Trucking Games

Trucking games put you behind the wheel of a heavy rig, hauling cargo and managing the drive. On PlayStation the standout titles are off-road and hauling sims — SnowRunner and RoadCraft, where conquering mud, water and broken terrain is the whole challenge — alongside Star Trucker, which reinvents the genre in space. The dedicated euro-truck-sim field (Truck and Logistics Simulator, Alaskan Road Truckers, Truck Driver, Heavy Cargo, ON THE ROAD) is thinner and more budget than on PC, so this list leads with the genuinely good games and is honest about where the rest sit. Every game is available on PlayStation and ranked on a mix of player ratings, depth of the trucking loop, and overall quality.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best trucking game on PS5?
SnowRunner is the best trucking game on PS5 — though it is really an off-road hauling sim, with the deepest terrain simulation and four-player co-op. For a dedicated truck sim, Truck and Logistics Simulator is the strongest, and Star Trucker is the best-rated and most original pick if you want a fresh sci-fi take on trucking.
Is there a Euro Truck Simulator on PlayStation?
Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator are PC-only and not on PlayStation. The closest console alternatives are realistic motorway sims like ON THE ROAD – The Truck Simulator and dedicated haulers like Truck Driver and Heavy Cargo, though none match the polish of the PC games — SnowRunner is the better-made experience overall.
Which trucking games have co-op or multiplayer?
SnowRunner and RoadCraft both offer co-op, and Truck and Logistics Simulator supports up to 24 players in cross-platform multiplayer convoys — the largest multiplayer of any trucking game on PlayStation. The dedicated single-truck sims (Star Trucker, Truck Driver, Alaskan Road Truckers, Heavy Cargo, ON THE ROAD) are single-player.
Are any trucking games on PS Plus?
Yes. Truck and Logistics Simulator is included with PlayStation Plus, and Alaskan Road Truckers: Highway Edition offers a PS Plus Premium trial, so you may already be able to play a couple of trucking games at no extra cost. SnowRunner, Star Trucker and RoadCraft are paid titles.
How is this trucking games list ranked?
This is an editorially curated list. There is no reliable trucking tag in the catalogue, and a raw search surfaces a lot of low-rated shovelware, so games are hand-picked for genuine trucking, hauling or truck-sim gameplay. The three best-made titles (SnowRunner, Star Trucker, RoadCraft) lead, followed by the dedicated truck-sim field ordered by player rating.
