#TruckAtHome was an event held by SCS Software through the World of Trucks platform, covering both American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2. The event started on March 30, 2020 and ended on April 8, 2020. The event was in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Background

The COVID-19 pandemic first hit China in December 2019, and spread to the rest of the world in the months afterwards. As a result, many countries entered a "lockdown" by March 2020, including the Czech Republic, the home country of the developer SCS Software.

To encourage people stay at home, avoid unnecessary social contact and minimize the chance of contacting the disease, SCS officially launched the event through a blog post on 30 March 2020.

On 8 April 2020, SCS announced the conclusion of the event with a blog post.
