Today has marked the first refresh of the "Top Paid" Xbox Charts on the Microsoft Store for a while, and although the likes of Baldur's Gate 3 and Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 are dominating the list as you'd expect, there's also an unexpected addition towards the top in the form of Truck & Logistics Simulator!
Yes, this new simulation game launched on Xbox back at the very end of November, but this is the first time it's had a chance to chart on the Microsoft Store. The result makes for very good reading, as it's currently at the #9 position in the UK (ahead of the likes of Cyberpunk 2077 and Red Dead 2), while it's a little bit lower at #74 in the US.
What's with the popularity then? Well, this is a game that allows you to "load, drive, and deliver" with up to 24 other cross-platform players amidst a "huge open world", complete with over 30 unique vehicles and hundreds of missions and deliveries. Reviews have actually been "Mixed" on Steam so far, but the game holds an impressive 4.4/5 based on 82 Xbox Store reviews in the UK, and a 4.2/5 based on 70 Xbox Store reviews in the US.
There's clearly a lot of interest in this one, so we'll throw more details about Truck & Logistics simulator below!
"Load, drive, and deliver through a huge open world with up to 24 players in cross-platform multiplayer. Join your friends in exciting heavy transport convoys. Jump into the driver's seat of more than 30 unique vehicles and carry out complex loading tasks to deliver a variety of cargo."
