A community of 168,414 truckers delivered 1,257,426 Valentine's Presents and traveled 533,701,879 kilometres during the Hearts in Bloom World of Trucks event, SCS Software announced in a blog post dated March 4, 2026. The developer wrote, "With the arrival of March, our Hearts in Bloom World of Trucks event has officially come to a close," and presented the full set of participant and performance metrics.

The event ran through most of February, with community records indicating a launch on February 12, 2026. An Instagram post from the event account made the scheduled cutoff explicit, saying, "Hearts in Bloom Event ends tomorrow! 🌸 The event wraps up Sunday, March 1st at 23:59 UTC, this is your last chance to complete deliveries and" - the caption supplied in the briefing is truncated after "and." SCS’s March 4 blog entry served as the official wrap-up and confirmation of the totals.

SCS Software set a community target of 600,000 deliveries of Valentine's Presents across Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator and reported that players "crushed that goal in just over a week from the event's launch!" The final tally more than doubled that target, and the company noted the result beat last year's Valentine event in both deliveries and distance, saying, "In total, our incredible #BestCommunityEver delivered 1,257,426 Valentine's Presents cargoes and, in the process, traveled a remarkable 533,701,879 kilometres - beating last year's Valentine event in both milestones!"

Individual players also hit milestones. SCS congratulated the 62,370 players who completed the personal goal of 14 Valentine's Presents deliveries and confirmed those players "have earned a special World of Trucks achievement, along with two lovely cabin accessories for both games, designed by our team - the Hearts Blanket and Cupid's Cap." The blog instructs players that they "can claim them in the Events page on your World of Trucks profile."

Community reaction ranged from celebratory to reflective. A Facebook community comment captured that tone: "We are not so many but we did great. Now the event of love ended and we concluded it by visiting a garden of love." The SCS blog itself showed "No comments" beneath the post in the supplied excerpt and included the site's comment policy noting that only members may post and that spam or offensive content will be removed.

SCS closed its message with community outreach and a sign-off, encouraging follows on "X/Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Bluesky, and TikTok" and concluding, "Until next time, happy haulin'!" Players who took part should find their rewards on the Events page of their World of Trucks profile following the developer's March 4 announcement.
