It’s called Bus Simulator 27, a video game focused on driving buses and coaches: some of you may already know it, while others may be hearing about it for the first time. The gameplay is a true must for bus enthusiasts who want to put themselves to the test behind the wheel (or the joystick) of more than 45 officially licensed vehicles created by 13 manufacturers such as Daimler Buses, Iveco, MAN, Scania, and Volvo. Standard buses, articulated models, double-deckers, electric buses, and conventionally powered vehicles: there’s something for every taste, size, and propulsion technology.

Why are we talking about it? Because from now on, a highly anticipated brand has joined the Bus Simulator 27 “fleet”: Solaris.

The game allows players to create and manage routes, plan timetables, hire drivers, assign lines, and customize buses with special liveries.

Bus Simulator 27 will be available in 2026 on Steam, Epic Games Store, and the Microsoft Store, as well as on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
