How long does a 10-hour delivery in Euro Truck Simulator 2 or American Truck Simulator really take? In-game time runs much faster than real time, so it is easy to lose track. This free converter turns game time into real time (and back) in seconds, so you can plan your deliveries, convoys and play sessions.
ETS2 & ATS Game Time Converter
Real time → Game time
In-game time passed: -
Game time → Real time
Real time needed: -
Default values are approximate (ETS2 ≈ 19, ATS ≈ 20). Ferry/train travel and sleeping skip time differently. If you use a different time setting or mod, enter your own scale.
What Does This Tool Do?
The ETS2 & ATS Game Time Converter works in two directions:
- Real time → Game time: enter how long you will play (for example 1 hour) and see how much time passes in the game.
- Game time → Real time: enter a delivery or job duration from the game (for example 10 hours) and see how many real minutes it takes.
Results update instantly while you type. Everything runs in your browser, so nothing is uploaded and nothing needs to be installed.
How Fast Is Time in ETS2 and ATS?
Time in both games is compressed. The tool uses these approximate default values:
- Euro Truck Simulator 2: about 19 game minutes for every real minute
- American Truck Simulator: about 20 game minutes for every real minute
These are approximate values. If you use a different time setting or a mod that changes the time scale, simply type your own value into the Time scale field.
How to Use the Converter
- Select your game: Euro Truck Simulator 2 or American Truck Simulator. The time scale is filled in automatically.
- Change the Time scale only if your game uses a different value.
- To see how much game time passes while you play, enter hours and minutes in the Real time → Game time section.
- To see how long a job takes in real life, enter hours and minutes in the Game time → Real time section.
- Read the result in the blue box below each section.
When Is This Useful?
- Planning a play session: check if a long delivery fits into the time you have.
- Delivery deadlines: understand how much real driving time a job's deadline gives you.
- Convoys and events: estimate how long a convoy route will take for everyone.
- Recording videos: plan the length of a gameplay video or live stream.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the result different from my game?
Ferries, trains and sleeping skip time in a different way, and the default time scale is approximate. If your results do not match, adjust the time scale value.
Does time work the same in TruckersMP?
TruckersMP servers can use their own time settings. If the time on your server runs differently, enter a custom time scale.
Is this tool free?
Yes. It is completely free and works on desktop and mobile.
