Bus Simulator 21 Next Stop: USA Skin Pack

The USA Skin Pack DLC for Bus Simulator 21 Next Stop was developed by stillalive studios and published by Astragon Entertainment. It was released on September 7, 2021, for the base game and focused entirely on cosmetic customization. The DLC introduced ten United States–themed paint jobs, including designs inspired by cowboy culture, canyons, eagles, and stars and stripes, allowing players to give their buses a distinctive American visual style.

The pack’s content was compatible with all bus types in the game, including articulated buses, double-deckers, and electric buses, across both Angel Shores and Seaside Valley maps. These skins were purely aesthetic, designed to enhance the visual appeal of a player’s fleet without affecting any gameplay mechanics such as driving, routing, or management. The emphasis was on giving players the freedom to personalize their buses and make them stand out in the game’s environments.

Promotion for the USA Skin Pack was handled through Astragon’s official website, social media channels, and announcements related to Bus Simulator 21. The marketing highlighted the vibrant and thematic paint jobs and presented the DLC as a way for players to add visual flair and individuality to their fleets. It was positioned alongside other cosmetic packs as part of the ongoing post-launch content support for the game.

Reception of the USA Skin Pack was generally positive among players who value customization. Fans appreciated the quality and creativity of the designs, noting that they allowed for unique and visually appealing fleets. While some players observed that it did not add new vehicles or gameplay features, the DLC was well regarded for enhancing the aesthetic options available in Bus Simulator 21 Next Stop.
