Get Ready to Hit the Road: Bus Bound Arrives in 2026
Bus driving simulator enthusiasts have a new reason to be excited as Saber Interactive and stillalive studios have officially announced a 2026 release window for their upcoming title, Bus Bound. The game is set to launch on PC and consoles, and the developers have also given fans a fresh look at the gameplay in a brand-new trailer.
Coming from the creators behind the popular Bus Simulator 18 and Bus Simulator 21, Bus Bound promises to deliver an experience that goes beyond simply driving routes. The game is set in Amberville, a densely populated city featuring realistic traffic, dynamic day-night cycles, and varied weather effects. Each district within Amberville is designed to feel alive, and critically, the player's actions as a bus driver will directly influence the city's development and well-being.
More Than Just Driving: Building a City
Players will get behind the wheel of an array of licensed American buses, including iconic models like the 40-foot Flyer Xcelsior CNG and the Blue Bird Sigma. The initial fleet will feature over a dozen different models, with more expected to become available as players progress through the game.
But the gameplay in Bus Bound extends far beyond simple transportation tasks. Drivers will be responsible for unlocking new routes, upgrading bus stops, and observing how these improvements transform the lives of Amberville's residents. The more actively the public transport network expands and improves, the more comfortable and thriving the virtual city becomes.
Adding another layer of depth, Bus Bound will support cooperative play for up to four players. Friends can divide routes among themselves or team up to achieve common goals, such as improving the overall quality of life within Amberville. The developers are also promising a flexible customization system, allowing players to unlock new buses, visual styles, and upgrades as they advance. Whether you prefer a relaxed journey or a challenge to master every detail of bus management, Bus Bound aims to offer a pace suitable for everyone.
Players eager to immerse themselves in the role of a bus driver in Bus Bound can look forward to its release on PC (via Steam), Xbox Series consoles, and PlayStation 5 in 2026. This new title looks set to offer a rich and engaging simulation experience, building on the developers' previous work to create a truly evolving city for players to shape.
