Bus Bound announced for PS5, Xbox Series, and PC

by

Developer teams Saber Interactive and stillalive studios have unveiled their latest project, titled Bus Bound. This upcoming bus driving simulation game is set to roll out on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam, but a specific launch date has yet to be revealed.

In a recent press statement, Julian Mautner from stillalive studios explained that after “Bus Simulator 21 Next Stop,” they paused to understand what their fans desired most in a bus driving game. Consequently, they developed “Bus Bound” with a primary focus on enhancing the core gameplay elements, such as how the bus handles and how the city interacts with the player, to make it enjoyable for both newcomers and long-time enthusiasts.

Here is an overview of the game, via Saber Interactive:
