“We have not forgotten you”: Why Xbox players still have to wait for a stable CTS 2026 experience!

The Xbox version of City Transport Simulator 2026 remains one of the game’s largest unresolved areas. For some time, players have been reporting crashes that occur during gameplay without a clearly recognisable pattern. ViewApp has now emphasised again that the problems are known and have been under investigation for an extended period.

The main difficulty is that the crashes are extremely difficult to reproduce deliberately. They do not occur for every player at the same location, with the same vehicle, or in the same situation. This makes it difficult for the developers to systematically narrow down possible causes and then verify whether a change has genuinely solved the underlying problem.

Following the release of the Tatra KT4D a few days ago, ViewApp received considerably more reports from the Xbox community. While the new tram DLC received very positive reviews on Steam and PlayStation 5 and became the most successful tram DLC launch in the game so far, the experience on Xbox did not meet the intended quality level for many players.

The team has explicitly apologised to the Xbox community for this.

Various areas of the game have already been optimised over the past few months. These include objects in the game world, the system responsible for spawning and removing vehicles, character models, and other technical areas. However, these changes have so far produced only minor improvements on Xbox.

ViewApp is therefore now also considering considerably stronger changes. Individual functions may be reduced or restricted if doing so produces a noticeable improvement in performance and stability. The team has not yet stated which specific features could be affected.

The goal remains to provide an experience that is as similar as possible on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox. At the same time, the team wants to keep restrictions and other reductions in quality as limited as possible.

A quick solution is not expected. ViewApp describes the investigation as a long-term process and wants to address the causes sustainably rather than introducing short-term changes that may simply move the problem elsewhere.

Players can continue to support the investigation. When crashes repeatedly occur at a particular location, with a particular vehicle, or in a specific situation, they should be reported through a support ticket on the official Discord server.

According to the team, every ticket is read. However, limited staff resources mean that responses may take longer or may not be possible in every individual case. The reports are still evaluated and help identify possible similarities between different crashes.

ViewApp also states that it is in direct contact with Xbox. Work on identifying the causes and possible solutions is continuing there as well.

The development on PlayStation 5 provides some reason for optimism. According to ViewApp, the problems on that platform have already been reduced considerably. The team therefore believes that further improvements can also be achieved on Xbox.

It is not yet known when a larger stability update will be released. There is also no specific information yet regarding which technical changes will ultimately be required.

For Xbox players, this means that patience is still necessary. The problems are known, they are being worked on, and they are not simply being accepted. At the same time, ViewApp has made clear that eliminating random crashes is considerably more complicated than fixing an ordinary bug that can be reproduced on demand.
