How to buy and redeem Euro Truck Simulator 2 gift cards

Why ETS2 players keep buying map DLCs

If you have sunk any real time into Euro Truck Simulator 2, you already know the base map only takes you so far. The DLCs are where the game opens up. Each one adds a chunk of countries, new cities, new roads, and the kind of detail that makes a six-hour haul actually feel different from the last one. I have watched players buy these one at a time, picking the region they want to drive next. That is the smart way to do it.

The gift cards we sell on BlinkCodes correspond to specific DLC expansions, not a wallet top-up. So when you buy one, you are buying a code that unlocks that particular map add-on. You pick the DLC you want, pay, and receive a code by email. Simple.

Which DLCs are available

Here is what we currently carry on the store, with approximate prices so you can plan your next purchase:

• Going East! about 8 USD, covering Poland, Czech Republic, and Slovakia.
• Greece about 13 USD.
• Road to the Black Sea about 13 USD, covering Romania, Bulgaria, and Turkey.
• Vive la France! about 12 USD.
• West Balkans about 12 USD.
• Beyond the Baltic Sea about 13 USD, covering Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and parts of Russia and Finland.
• Italia about 12 USD.
• Iberia about 12 USD, covering Spain and Portugal.

Prices are approximate and may shift slightly. Most of these land in the same ballpark, so you are not facing a huge price difference between regions. Going East! is the cheapest because it is the oldest expansion. If you are new to DLCs, that is a fine place to start.

How to buy a gift card on BlinkCodes

The purchase flow is straightforward. You do not need an account to check out, though having one lets you track your orders.

1. Go to the Euro Truck Simulator 2 gift card section on blinkcodes.com.
2. Pick the DLC expansion you want from the list of options.
3. Add it to your cart and proceed to checkout.
4. Pay using your preferred method.
5. Check your email for the redemption code. It usually arrives within minutes.

That is it. No waiting for shipping, no physical card in the mail. You get a digital code that you then redeem on the platform where you own the base game.

How to redeem your code

This is the part where some people get tripped up, so let me be specific. Euro Truck Simulator 2 runs on Steam, and the DLC codes we sell are Steam-compatible. That means you redeem them through Steam, not through the game itself.

1. Open Steam and log into the account where you own Euro Truck Simulator 2.
2. Click on your username in the bottom-left corner and select Account details.
3. Find the option to Redeem a Steam gift card or wallet code.
4. Enter the code you received from BlinkCodes.
5. Confirm and let Steam process it.

If the code is valid and matches the DLC, Steam will add it to your account automatically. The next time you launch ETS2, the new map region will be available. You might need to verify your game files if the DLC does not show up right away. Right-click the game in your library, go to Properties, and use the verify integrity tool.

A few things worth knowing

First, you need the base game. These gift cards unlock DLC expansions, not the base game itself. If you try to redeem a DLC code without owning Euro Truck Simulator 2, Steam will reject it or prompt you to buy the base game first.

Second, region locks can matter. Some Steam codes are region-restricted, so make sure your Steam account region matches before you buy. If you are unsure, check your Steam store country setting. It should match where you actually live.

Third, these codes do not expire in the usual sense, but I would not sit on one for months. Redeem it as soon as you get it so you know it works. If anything goes wrong, email support@blinkcodes.com and include your order number.

Picking your next road

If you already have Going East! and want something visually different, Iberia and Italia are popular picks. The coastal drives in Iberia are genuinely beautiful, and Italia has some of the tightest, most technical roads in the game. Greece is newer and adds island hopping via ferries, which changes the pacing of long routes. Beyond the Baltic Sea gives you wide-open highways with a very different feel from the dense western European maps.

You do not need every DLC to enjoy the game. Buy the region that interests you, drive it for a few weeks, then come back for another. That is how most long-term players build their collection, one map at a time.
