Bus Simulator Makes a Stop on PS4 from 17th September

Only at digital stations, though

by Sammy Barker Mon 22nd Jul 2019

Bus Simulator will leave its terminal on 17th September, making a stop on the PlayStation 4 in the process. The moreish public transport experience – which we previewed earlier in the year – will initially only be available as a digital download from the PlayStation Store, which may prove disappointing for those holding out hope for a physical release.

“[The game] will offer bus and simulation fans the opportunity to create their own bus company in the fictional European city of Seaside Valley and its surroundings – may it be in single-player or together with up to three additional players in multiplayer,” reads the press release. You should expect licensed buses and a compelling fusion of Crazy Taxi, Farming Simulator, and business management.

I’m quite interested in this, though September is a tad later than their “spring 2019” release date! Hope it gets a reasonable/fair price.

@Nightcrawler71 Yeah, I'm surprised it's taken so long to launch.

I'm interested in this game. Even though I prefer to have my games on disc, I'm fine with a digital-only release this time. If it were being released physically as well as on the digital storefront, the latter option would be virtually guaranteed to be the only way I could get it in Barbados anyway without paying and arm and a leg to have it 'special ordered' by one of the game retailers here.

Bet it gets delayed, and then 'EA Bus World' or something gets announced and released around the same time.

@lixei32 yeah it would have made more sense to release it in the quiet summer period. I can only assume the game isn’t ready yet.

A lot of these titled "simulator" games only release in Europe so not much hope for Canada. But we get "goat simulator" so there's that.
