A New Bus Simulator 2026 on Steam – But Who Is OTTO Games?

During a recent search on Steam, I came across a title that had not previously been on my radar: City Bus Simulator 2026, developed by a studio called OTTO Games. What immediately stands out is that the developer does not appear to have any previously released titles. Find out here what this title needs to be able to do and why I'm rather skeptical about it!

Why Is the Tone in the OMSI Community So Incredibly Harsh? What’s Going Wrong?

We all play OMSI for the same reason: a passion for buses, route networks, and realistic simulation. Yet anyone who spends time in the largest OMSI community spaces today quickly notices something: the tone is often rough. Very rough. And that is exactly what we urgently need to talk about.

It’s been in Train Sim World for years – but hardly anyone talks about it: The Bakerloo Line: A hidden Underground classic in TSW!

Some add-ons appear and fade away. Others quietly remain part of the Train Sim World ecosystem for years. The Bakerloo Line of the London Underground is one of those long-standing additions.

This German railway twists like a corkscrew – and you can drive it in Train Simulator!

We found it! This keychain reveals the next bus for City Transport Simulator?

Back in mid-December, ViewApp announced that a special keychain had been hidden somewhere in Tramau. This object was said to reveal an upcoming bus model for City Transport Simulator.

There are really a lot of bus brands out there, so let's take a look at which bus brands are not yet available.

My Absolute Favorite Train Simulator Addon? Berlin’s Ringbahn!

If someone asks me which Train Simulator addon I load most often, I don’t hesitate. It’s the Berlin Ringbahn.
