Bus Simulator 27 is out now. astragon Entertainment and Simteract released the game on September 9 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S with Japanese support, following a PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S launch window announced earlier.
Bus Simulator 27 is the current entry in astragon Entertainment and Simteract's bus operation series, and it is out. The game released on September 9, 2026, with Japanese language support and an open world set in Felicia Bay, a fictional city modeled on Spain and Portugal. Launch came to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S; earlier announcements listed PC alongside those platforms. Four-player online co-op runs across platforms, and a multiplayer trailer in August showed the cooperative mode ahead of release.
The throughline across coverage is scale. The vehicle roster covers 13 manufacturers and more than 45 licensed buses, including EV, CNG, and hydrogen fuel cell models. Pre-release material put the open world at up to 250 bus stops, with Unreal Engine 5 graphics, dynamic weather, and management elements that let players plan routes and build a bus company. Pre-orders ran on Steam at 3,850 yen.
What changed between announcement and launch is the shape of the driving itself. Long-distance buses are new to the series, moving it past city-only operations, and they arrived with the game rather than as later content. The region inspired by Spain and Portugal is also new. Those two additions are the clearest break from the previous games. Everything else, the licensed fleet, the management layer, the cooperative play, is carried forward.
The one detail that shifted across stories is the date. Announcement coverage said September 9, 2026. The multiplayer trailer, published August 20, listed September 8. The game's launch story settles it: Bus Simulator 27 released on September 9.
