Bus Bound: Mass transit sim could be the farest of them all

• Bus Bound set for release on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC later in 2026
• Four-player online co-op
• Steam demo available to play now

Bus Bound is stillalive studios’ latest take on mass transit simulation, coming after the ludicrously popular Bus Simulator 21.

Set for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, the game is set to release later this year and sees players serving Emberville’s residents by unlocking and creating new routes. The city appears to be a living and breathing entity, featuring pedestrians, nose-to-tail traffic and plenty of landmarks.

The game will feature licensed American buses at launch, including the Flyer Xcelsior 40ft CNG and the Blue Bird Sigma, with players able to upgrade and customise their trusty steeds while battling dynamic weather. 

By successfully completing routes, you make your passengers happy, which in turn unlocks new buses (17 unique models), with up to seven city districts available to unlock.

The game is playable online cooperatively with up to three players, and a demo is available on Steam now (though game progress will only count towards the host’s playthrough).

It is unknown, however, if there’s an option to tut loudly when a passenger doesn’t have the correct change…
