Release Date: April 30, 2026
A simulator of driving a bus from stillalive studios - creators of games such as Bus Simulator 18 and Bus Simulator 21. Bus Bound transports us to a fictional town called Emberville and allows us to play the role of a bus driver. We can enjoy the game alone or in cooperation mode.
The team at stillalive studios gained worldwide recognition primarily through the games Bus Simulator 18 and Bus Simulator 21. For their next project dedicated to bus driving, developers from Innsbruck, Austria, have partnered with Saber Interactive. The result of this cooperation is the game Bus Bound.
Bus Bound takes us to the fictional American city of Emberville.
In Emberville, we will find both quiet areas and busy places full of intersections, requiring full concentration from drivers. The city is fully simulated, and street traffic is influenced by factors such as weather conditions and the daily cycle.
During the game, we take on the role of a bus driver. We can sit behind the wheel of one of these vehicles, travel the city streets and provide transport services to its residents. The game gives us access to licensed buses from American manufacturers, such as New Flyer Xcelsior 40ft CNG and Blue Bird Sigma.
In addition to developing our fleet (which we can customize to individual preferences), as we progress we also improve the city's infrastructure, modernizing stops or unlocking new routes. This is not the end, because over time we also gain access to various passive bonuses. The icing on the cake is the growing favorability of passengers.
Bus Bound can be played alone or in online coop mode for up to four people. We can share routes with other players and work together to develop the host's business.

Game Ratings for Bus Bound Video Game.
Try Hard Guides: 6 / 10 by Erik Hodges
Bus Bound delivers some decent driving mechanics with excellent traffic AI, although the game struggles with the nuanced mechanics that make other simulator titles from Saber stand out. There is no career mode, and immersive mechanics are limited, but if you want to drive a bus along a route, you can certainly find a good, albeit short, time here.
DayOne: 8 / 10 by Győző Baki
Bus Bound, to me, is the kind of game that proves that a bus driving simulation game can be fun, rewarding, and enjoyable, even if the act of slowly maneuvering such a vehicle is not something that excites you in the slightest. But a satisfying yet relaxing driving model, precise yet somewhat forgiving rules of the road, and a very lively and great-looking town to explore and evolve to your liking turn the game into a very enjoyable experience. Not a massive amount of content as of today, but with a lot of player agency and even a 4-player online co-op mode, it’s definitely one of the finest vehicle simulation games I’ve ever played.
GameSpew: 7 / 10 by Richard Seagrave
Bus Bound is one of the most accessible bus simulators out there, expecting you to drive with care but not bogging you down with too many intricacies. It works both for and against it: this will be enjoyable for many, but a lack of depth means that it soon becomes quite repetitive. Still, it's worth a look, especially with its budget price.
