FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – June 8, 2025 – Hop on! During today’s PC Gaming Show, Saber Interactive and independent developer stillalive studios revealed Bus Bound, an all-new and authentic bus-driving experience from the creators of Bus Simulator 21 and Bus Simulator 18. Take the wheel of officially licensed American buses in the evolving city of Emberville and help transform everyday routes into an urban paradise—one stop at a time! Bus Bound is coming to PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
“After Bus Simulator 21 Next Stop, we took a step back to evaluate what our fans truly wanted in a bus driving experience," said Julian Mautner, Studio Head of stillalive studios. "With Bus Bound, we focused on making the core experience—how the bus feels, how the city engages with the player—fun in a way that’s easy to pick up for new players while still engaging for our core audience.”
Welcome to the bustling city of Emberville, a dense metropolis packed with unique neighborhoods and vibrant urban life to discover. From day to night, rain or shine, you’ll help passengers get around town while navigating realistic traffic systems and infrastructure. Play on your own or team up with friends in online co-op for up to four players to make this city thrive!
Bus Bound delivers an accessible and authentic driving experience for bus enthusiasts and driving fans of all kinds. Hop into the driver’s seat of over a dozen real-world licensed vehicles with genuine customizable details and variable bus controls for different playstyles. With each shift, you’ll earn new perks, unlock new routes and buses, level up bus stops, and more while transforming the city around you into a more pedestrian-friendly environment for all to enjoy.
