Hitting the Streets of New Emberville

Saber Interactive and stillalive studios are officially handing over the keys. Bus Bound launches on April 30, 2026.

You can hit the road on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, alongside PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

The core experience revolves around reviving the public transit network of a fictional American city. You start by running basic routes and eventually reshape the entire urban infrastructure.

Co-Op, Traffic, and City Upgrades

You do not have to manage the morning commute alone. Bus Bound supports four-player online co-op, letting you and three friends tackle routes simultaneously.

Every successful shift generates goodwill with your passengers. This currency unlocks new vehicles and visually improves the city’s seven distinct districts over time.

According to the official feature list, the traffic system actively responds to a dynamic day-night cycle. Erratic AI drivers and heavy rain will slow you down—directly impacting your route score and passenger moods. Features that you can try thanks to the Demo on Steam.

Standard vs. Deluxe Editions

The base game sits at a very reasonable $29.99 / £24.99 / 29,99€. This grants access to all 17 launch buses, including 10 officially licensed models from heavyweights like New Flyer and Blue Bird.

If you want the upcoming post-launch content, the Deluxe Edition is priced at $39.99 / £34.99 / 39,99€. This premium tier packs in the Horizon Speed 40ft bus, three retro skins, and the Bus Pass—which secures the first three expansions dropping later in 2026.

Pre-ordering either version grants the Horizon Hydrogen 40ft Gen2 bus and three modern liveries to customize your fleet right out of the gate.
