• Illustration — The game simulates the FlixBus. Fernbus Simulator is set in Germany, offering a route network of approximately 20,000 kilometres and 40 German cities that is built on a scale of 1:10. More city routes were released as DLCs, expanding the map to the following countries: Austria, Switzerland, France, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Poland, and England. The game features similar gameplay to Euro Truck Simulator 2, and includes construction sites, traffic congestion, police patrols, traffic collision, and dynamic weather and day-night cycles. The game also provides various licensed buses from MAN, VDL, Scania, and Neoplan that FlixBus uses for their fleet, allowing players to drive them on highly detailed German motorways.

Reception
The game is sold on the digital distribution platform Steam. It has a mixed review rating. The game is often compared with Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator. The design of the game has been praised in terms of atmosphere, motorways, residential areas and detailed bus cockpits. However, bugs, missing textures, insufficient realism and a lack of long-term motivation are common criticisms.
