Take the wheel of officially licensed American buses in the evolving city of Emberville and help transform everyday routes into an urban paradise—one stop at a time!

Welcome to the bustling city of Emberville, a dense metropolis packed with unique neighborhoods and vibrant urban life to discover. From day to night, rain or shine, you’ll help passengers get around town while navigating realistic traffic systems and infrastructure. Play on your own or team up with friends in online co-op for up to four players to make this city thrive!

Bus Bound delivers an accessible and authentic driving experience for bus enthusiasts and driving fans of all kinds. Hop into the driver’s seat of over a dozen real-world licensed vehicles with genuine customizable details and variable bus controls for different playstyles. With each shift, you’ll earn new perks, unlock new routes and buses, level up bus stops, and more while transforming the city around you into a more pedestrian-friendly environment for all to enjoy.

Driving a bus has never been more fulfilling as players ride through Emberville, an up-and-coming city with many prospective passengers in need of a diligent and skilled driver.


Saber Interactive and developer stillalive studios are excited to introduce you to your new home, an old mining town turned bustling city, in their latest overview trailer for Bus Bound.

Meeting the needs of the city means more than just transporting people from one corner of town to another. With realistic traffic systems, a dynamic day-to-night cycle, and multiple weather conditions, it's up to you to choose the best bus for the job and get passengers from point A to point B safely.

With corporate bigwigs hoping to see this public transport program fail, it’s up to you to create custom lines, expand your network, and improve the city one stop at a time.

Key Features:

  • A City Full of Life: Explore Emberville, a fully simulated, densely inhabited town that comes to life with a dynamic traffic system, day/night cycle, and distinct weather conditions. From bustling intersections to quiet neighborhoods, every area has its own rhythm, and your route will help shape its future.
  • Drive American Icons: Take the wheel of true-to-life buses from top American manufacturers, including the New Flyer Xcelsior 40ft CNG and the Blue Bird Sigma. With a growing lineup of over a dozen vehicles at launch, you’ll always have the right bus for the job.
  • Shape the City: You’re not just driving, you’re improving public life! Upgrade stops, unlock new routes, earn passive perks, and see each district evolve into a more vibrant, pedestrian-friendly space thanks to your bus-driving efforts.
  • Multiplayer on the Move: Band together with up to three other players in online co-op! Split off to tackle multiple routes simultaneously and contribute to your host’s goal to improve Emberville.
  • Customize Your Fleet: With each shift, you’ll generate goodwill with your riders to unlock new buses, visual styles and upgrades. Whether you prefer a relaxing driving experience or want to master and optimize every detail of your run, the freedom to make each trip your own is yours.

Bus Bound is coming to PC (Steam), PS5, and Xbox Series X|S in 2026.
