Dreaming of SCS Fan Day Vol. 3 in Prague

As a die-hard fan of SCS Software’s American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2, I was thrilled to read their latest blog post announcing the third installment of the SCS Fan Day Experience, set for November 14, 2025, in Prague, Czechia. The #BestCommunityEver is getting another chance to visit SCS Software’s studios, and oh, how I wish I could join them! If only I had the funds to make the trip to Prague, I’d be filling out that application form faster than a trucker chasing a tight delivery deadline.

SCS Software’s blog post paints an exciting picture of what’s in store for the lucky 20 fans selected from their passionate community. The previous Fan Day, held on March 28, 2025, sounded like a dream come true for any virtual trucking enthusiast. Fans got an in-depth tour of the SCS Software studio, a peek at live development processes, and even a sneak preview of unreleased content—talk about a treat! They also experienced the 4D Motion Simulator (which I can only imagine feels like hauling cargo through a stormy mountain pass), explored the live-streaming studio, and shared snacks and hot drinks with none other than SCS Software’s CEO, Pavel Šebor. To top it all off, each attendee left with a gift bag stuffed with official merch. I’m already jealous just thinking about it!

The thought of walking through the studio where my favorite trucking simulators are crafted, chatting with the developers, and maybe even catching a glimpse of what’s next for the games is enough to make my heart race. SCS Software’s commitment to their community shines through in events like these, and it’s no surprise they call their fans the #BestCommunityEver. The fact that some attendees at the last event traveled long distances to be there only deepens my longing to join them—Prague feels so far away when your wallet’s running on empty.

For those who can make it, the application process sounds straightforward. Fans who haven’t attended the first or second Fan Day can apply via a form (open until October 14, 2025, at 23:59 CET), sharing details about themselves and their love for SCS Software’s games. The blog encourages applicants to get creative—maybe even include a photo or video to stand out. SCS Software will hand-pick the 20 attendees, so it’s all about showing your passion for virtual trucking. The catch? You’ll need to cover your own travel and accommodation costs, and the event date is non-negotiable. If I could scrape together the funds, I’d be crafting a heartfelt video about my countless hours hauling cargo across virtual highways, hoping to catch the team’s eye.

Reading about the event has me daydreaming about what it’d be like to meet the SCS Software team and fellow fans in person. The blog post mentions a video recap of the last Fan Day, which I’m sure captures the excitement of the experience (I’ll be watching it on repeat to live vicariously). For now, I’ll have to settle for cheering on the lucky fans who get selected and keeping up with SCS Software’s updates on their social media channels.

If you’re a fan with the means to travel, don’t miss this chance to apply by October 14! As for me, I’ll keep saving my pennies and dreaming of the day I can join the #BestCommunityEver in Prague for an unforgettable SCS Fan Day. Here’s hoping the virtual highways lead me there someday soon.
