On 18 June, 2024, publisher astragon Entertainment and developer Aesir Interactive released the Highway Patrol expansion for Police Simulator Patrol Officers on PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One.

Additionally, the Gold Edition is now available on all platforms. It includes the base game, the Highway Patrol Expansion and the Garage Bundle at a special price.
Highway Patrol introduces a host of new responsibilities for the virtual cops as the opening of highways brings a host of new crimes to the fictional state of Franklin, such as car theft, which is now a daily problem that needs to be addressed. In fast-paced chases with exciting PIT maneuvers, players prevent criminals from making off with stolen goods. New equipment such as nail strips and roadblocks aid in these pursuits and prove especially useful in multiplayer mode. In addition, players must regularly inspect cargo, assist with vehicle breakdowns, and perform high-speed inspections.
Higher speeds on motorways also increase the risk of serious accidents. Large collisions can lead to fires, which players will have to fight with fire extinguishers. Another important task is to clear the road of debris to ensure safe traffic.
In addition to new missions and equipment, players will have access to two new vehicles: the Interstate Police Vehicle, which adds a vintage touch to every shift, and the Endurance Police Vehicle, equipped with a durable mesh to stop moving vehicles.
Along with the release of the new expansion, a free update is arriving today that brings some exciting features of the Highway Patrol expansion to all owners of the base game. In addition to improvements to the traffic system and vehicle physics, all players can now experience the thrill of car thefts and exciting car chases taking place throughout the city. Moreover, collecting debris after major accidents and providing roadside assistance to broken down civilian vehicles are now daily tasks for all players.
