Publisher Aerosoft and developer Z-Software are excited to reveal Autobahn Police Simulator 4, the next entry in the long running German police simulation series. Coming to PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S in 2026, the game will place players behind the wheel of a new generation of police vehicles in a fully drivable open world.

From unrestricted stretches of Autobahn to winding rural roads, industrial areas and lively towns, Autobahn Police Simulator 4 offers the deepest and most varied depiction of German police duty on the Autobahn. Players will conduct traffic stops, examine documents and vehicles, secure accident scenes and pursue suspects who decide to avoid police checkpoints.

The radio can call at any moment, but how players respond is up to them. What could be a routine vehicle stop may uncover a more serious offence, while a straightforward roadside incident can develop into an urgent operation requiring quick thinking to secure all involved. Whether assisting at an accident or pursuing a fleeing driver with lights and sirens blaring, every successful response builds the player’s reputation within the force.

By acting according to procedure and performing well on duty, officers can climb through the ranks and unlock additional vehicles, equipment and police stations. Standard patrol cars provide a dependable everyday workhorse, while unmarked units offer a more discreet way to observe suspicious road users. Special operations and optional side missions provide further opportunities beyond regular radio dispatches.

The fully drivable world brings together highways, rest stops, petrol stations, country roads, residential neighbourhoods, industrial zones and small towns surrounded by forests and mountains. Overhauled visuals and varied landscapes add a new sense of place and weight to every patrol, emergency response and high-speed pursuit.

A New Chapter in the Autobahn Police Simulator Series:

The Autobahn Police Simulator series began in 2015 by placing players on approximately 40 kilometres of German motorway, where they handled accidents, inspected vehicles and truck cargo, tested drivers for alcohol and drugs, and pursued motorists who refused to stop.

Autobahn Police Simulator 2 expanded the life of an officer beyond the patrol car. It introduced a living police station, colleagues with their own routines, an experienced partner, career progression and a cinematic campaign told across more than 20 connected missions. Players could develop their station, improve their skills and unlock specialist vehicles and police support.

The third chapter gave its rookie officer a more personal reason to return to the road. Recovering from a serious accident connected to an illegal street race, the player resumed duty alongside an experienced partner and progressed from everyday traffic work to increasingly dangerous special operations. Its expansions introduced motorcycle patrols, tactical speed traps and off-road investigations alongside police dog Dexter.

Autobahn Police Simulator 4 builds upon that history while beginning a new era for the series. With multiple police stations, a broader open world and a renewed focus on player led radio responses, the fourth game expands the fantasy of building a complete career in the German Autobahn police.
