Driving and racing simulators on Steam: ETS2, Assetto Corsa Competizione, BeamNG and a Forza DLC code

Published: Updated: 6 min read

Driving and racing simulators are a genre about handling a car as a process: realistic physics, real tracks and vehicles, hauls and races. From this genre the marketplace carries a trucking simulator with a set of map add-ons, a GT3 racing simulator, a vehicle sandbox, an off-road sim, an open-world racer and a standalone DLC code with a car for an already-released racer. Some lots arrive as a key (you activate the code yourself), some as a Steam gift (a bot sends the game as a present), and several are add-ons to a base game. Below we break down each so you pick the right format and region at checkout.

Euro Truck Simulator 2 — a trucking simulator

Euro Truck Simulator 2 by SCS Software is about hauling across European roads: cargo to more than 60 cities, truck customization and growing a transport company. Per the listing this is a licensed Steam key (base game): the code is shown in your browser right after payment and also sent by e-mail, with activation via “Activate a Product on Steam”. The key is single-use and tied to an account. Activation region — Russia, Ukraine and CIS; Russian is included. The base game is also offered as a giftEuro Truck Simulator 2 as a gift: a bot sends it to your library, and you choose the account region before purchase (gift mechanics are in our guide on software from Steam as gifts).

Add-ons for Euro Truck Simulator 2

All add-ons below are Steam keys and need the base ETS2 to run; activation Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and CIS. Map regions: Going East (Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, 13 cities), Scandinavia (Sweden, Norway, Denmark, 27 cities), Vive la France (a large French region with new cargoes) and Road to the Black Sea (Romania, Bulgaria and Türkiye’s Thrace). Content packs: High Power Cargo Pack (eight heavy oversized loads — a helicopter, a yacht, a drilling rig) and Cabin Accessories (cabin decorations). Each of these keys activates once and is delivered automatically.

Assetto Corsa Competizione — a GT3 racing simulator

BeamNG.drive — a crash-physics sandbox

BeamNG.drive is a vehicle sandbox built on soft-body physics: every collision genuinely deforms the car.

The region is chosen in the options: Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Belarus and CIS.

Forza Horizon 5 Pagani Zonda Oreo — a car DLC code

A separate case is Forza Horizon 5 — Pagani Zonda Oreo Edition. This is not the base game but a DLC item code — the 2009 Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster in its Oreo Edition livery. Per the listing the code activates only on an account that already owns the base Forza Horizon 5 on Steam (the Steam version specifically). The item is region-free, the code arrives instantly, and the car appears in your garage after the relevant update. Without the base game the add-on will not work.

What to check before paying

  • Account region. For every lot this is a neutral item restriction: the offer is valid for accounts with a specific store country. The country is shown in your account settings; for gifts pick the option that matches it. It is an activation restriction, not a way to “buy through another region”.
  • Format — key or gift. ETS2 with its DLC, ACC and TDU Solar Crown arrive as keys — you enter the code yourself. ETS2-as-a-gift, BeamNG.drive and MudRunner arrive as gifts: you will need your Steam profile link and to accept the bot’s friend request (the mechanics are in our guide on software from Steam as gifts).
  • Base game for the DLC. The ETS2 add-ons, the ACC pack and the Forza code all require the base game installed — make sure you own it in the right store (Steam).
  • Language and requirements. Assetto Corsa Competizione has no Russian localization; check the game’s system requirements on its page.
  • Reviews and seller terms. Real activation experience and refund rules are on the product page. How a marketplace purchase differs from buying direct is in marketplaces versus buying direct; if your account was involved in the order, see account security after purchase.

Bazelio is a storefront: payment is taken by the seller on the payment platform, and the seller handles key or gift delivery and support. Other games are in the PC Games category.
