"Euro Truck Simulator 2" and "American Truck Simulator" will officially support multiplayer, and an experimental open beta has been released. Multiplayer comes in the form of Convoy Mode, which allows eight players to drive together in the same world: AI traffic, time, and weather are all synchronized, and all eight players can work on the same job.

There are already mods that add multiplayer to both games, but the good news is that the feature is built into the game, even if it is not as flexible as the community-created feature at the moment.

Being an experimental open beta, there are currently limitations. Mods are not yet supported in multiplayer, and everyone must share the same DLC as the host. There are other things to be aware of, which are explained in detail here, but rest assured that there is an option to revert to a previous saved game state when you exit multiplayer.
