OMSI 2 Add-On Mallorca is a bus simulation game set on the Spanish island of Mallorca. Players take on the role of a bus driver operating routes across the coastal region around Platja de Palma, including the cities of Palma, Can Pastilla, El Molinar, and S'Arenal. The add-on expands the base OMSI 2 experience with a large open map that includes detailed urban areas and the MA-19 motorway along the eastern side of the bay. Real schedule data from the local transport operator EMT Palma shapes the timetables, allowing drivers to follow authentic service patterns while transporting passengers between stops.
Gameplay
The core loop centers on realistic bus operation. Drivers select from available vehicles, a solo bus or an articulated bus, both featuring original liveries from the Palma region. Controls focus on accurate handling, acceleration, braking, and door management at stops. Passenger interactions include boarding and alighting, supported by recorded announcements and passenger voices that play during journeys. The environment includes over 1,000 objects and buildings that populate the nearly fully drivable cities, creating a lived-in feel with static and animated elements such as cruise ships docking in the harbor and airplanes landing at Palma de Mallorca Airport.
Routes follow the original EMT Palma data, which means drivers must adhere to timetables while navigating traffic, road layouts, and the included motorway section. The map supports extended runs that combine city streets with faster highway segments. Buses from this add-on also work in the separate Project Gladbeck add-on, providing additional map options for those who own both expansions.
Game Modes
Players access three city bus lines, one express bus line, and 33 special lines that cover the featured areas. These routes range from regular urban services to longer connections that reach the airport and beach districts. The special lines offer variety beyond standard timetables, allowing exploration of different parts of the map under varying conditions.
Driving follows the scheduled services with options to start at different times of day. The system emphasizes punctuality and smooth operation rather than free-form exploration, though the open map permits some deviation when conditions allow. No other distinct modes appear in the add-on beyond these line-based services.
Map and Features
The map covers four of the five listed cities in near-complete detail, with the fifth area partially accessible. More than 1,000 objects fill the streets and surroundings, including buildings, road signs, and environmental details that match the Balearic holiday setting. The MA-19 motorway provides a distinct driving experience separate from the dense city routes.
Animations add life to key locations. Cruise liners arrive and depart from the harbor, while aircraft operate at the airport visible from certain routes. These elements run on their own schedules and do not directly affect bus operation but contribute to the overall atmosphere. Passenger voices and stop announcements update with each new journey to maintain variety across repeated drives.
Is It Worth Playing?
OMSI 2 Add-On Mallorca suits players who enjoy methodical bus simulation with authentic route data and a large coastal map. The combination of city lines, express service, and special routes provides dozens of distinct driving opportunities that follow real-world timetables. The included solo and articulated buses handle differently, giving variety within the same map.
Reception on Steam shows mostly negative reviews, with only 34 percent positive from around 91 total ratings. Common points raised include performance drops in crowded areas and occasional visual or technical issues. Those already invested in OMSI 2 and seeking a new map with real schedules may find value, while players sensitive to optimization problems might encounter frustration during longer sessions.
The add-on remains available as a paid expansion with no free trial or seasonal updates confirmed. It delivers focused content centered on timetable driving rather than broad open-world freedom or multiplayer elements.
