Minimum Specs to Play ETS 2 Game on PC (Euro Truck Simulator 2)

The following are the minimum specs for playing the ETS 2 game on a PC (Euro Truck Simulator 2). ETS 2 also turns out to be playable on Windows PC, macOS, and also SteamOS (Linux). In addition to your minimum specifications, there are also recommended specifications for playing this truck driver game.

What is the minimum spec to play ETS2 games? On a Windows PC, you can still play this game starting from Windows 7 with a Dual-core processor, 4GB RAM, with GPU Geforce GTS 450-class or Intel HD 4000. Finally, you must prepare a minimum storage space of 12GB.

This truck-driving simulator game was developed by SCS Software and released on October 18, 2012. Although this is not a new game, the developer of the Euro Truck Simulator 2 game is still making breakthroughs and updates so that until now the demand continues to grow.

The minimum specification data and recommendations below I got from the official Steam page (an online store specifically for PC games) which also sells the Euro Truck Simulator 2 game.

Game specifications without modification

Keep in mind that the specs below are specifications for playing the game with standard conditions or as is, without any modifications such as mods or unofficial settings. The use of mods or additional modifications can affect game performance, especially if you play with minimal specs.

If you use minimal specs, I suggest avoiding the use of mods related to the display such as realistic mods, realistic rain mods, and similar mods that can increase the burden on computer usage, especially the VGA part.

I highly recommend preparing at least 15 GB for this euro truck simulator 2 game to run smoothly. For example, the ETS2 game on my computer is currently using about 13.4 GB and is likely to continue to grow as more content I buy or add to the game such as new trucks, additional maps, etc.

Specs when not running other applications on PC

Keep in mind that the specifications above can only be applied if we are not opening or running other applications on a PC or laptop. You can use the recommended specifications but still have problems because your PC is running other applications at the same time.

For example, if you open a browser like Google Chrome and open 5-6 tabs then you only minimize (not close) the application to play ETS2 games, it will affect RAM usage. Even if you are not using the browser, the application still needs storage space while that is RAM.

So first make sure there are no heavy applications running before you play ETS2 games or other heavy games. Unless you have a PC with high specs such as the latest processor with the latest VGA, please open various applications at one time until you see the limit. haha

Must use the steering wheel?

Not. Maybe you often see this game played with the steering wheel on YouTube videos, but it's not mandatory. In fact, this game can be played either using the steering wheel or keyboard + mouse on a PC. You can also use a PS or XBOX stick (controller) connected to a PC.

But indeed, if you want the sensation of driving a truck to be more pronounced, the use of a steering wheel is highly recommended. The rest you can play with what you have, anyway if you enjoy it, playing with keyboard+Mouse is not a problem, it's still fun.

Don't buy at normal prices, wait for discounts!

For friends who are planning to buy this game, I recommend not buying it at the normal price, ETS 2 games now often give discounts. The discounts offered are also very large, ranging from 60% to 80% discounts.

So if the normal price of this game is IDR 169,000, then if you get a discount you only need to pay around IDR 34,000. It's great that it saves a lot. So if there is no discount on the Steam application, I suggest waiting until there is another discount.

Generally, this Euro Truck Simulator 2 game provides discounts almost every month and also on big days such as independence day, new year, summer sales, etc.
