Change Weather, Time and Trains Live: This TSW Mod Unlocks a Powerful God Mode!

Turn on snow in the middle of a journey, change the time of day or place an additional train on the route: TSW God Mode adds functions that Train Sim World normally does not offer. Despite its name, it is far more than a simple cheat – just how much control does this mod actually give players?

Only Three Days Left: China Railways DF11G Disappears From Steam Sales on Thursday!

A 5,000 hp twin-unit locomotive, three Chinese coach variants and six scenarios are disappearing from the Steam store with only three days’ notice: Dovetail Games will end sales of China Railways DF11G for Train Simulator Classic on Thursday. Anyone who already owns the DLC gets to keep it – everyone else will no longer be able to purchase it on Steam once the countdown expires. Why is an add-on released as recently as 2024 being removed from the digital shelf so suddenly?

No announcements on older TSW6 routes? This free PC tool adds them automatically

Start an older route in Train Sim World 6, close the doors and depart—and the passenger compartment remains silent. The announcement system introduced with TSW6 is not automatically available across every previously released route.

The free PC app TSW Passenger Announcements targets exactly that gap. It identifies the active route and timetable service through the TSW6 API, then automatically plays suitable arrival, departure and interchange announcements in the background.

Four add-ons and TSW’s future: These five topics await answers before Dovetail Direct!

A German route, a long-awaited S-Bahn classic, Portugal’s first TSW route and an American diesel locomotive all remain on the Roadmap without release dates. At the same time, Dovetail is working on future Train Sim World editions that will no longer be released for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Which of these open areas will finally move into the spotlight on August 25?

Train Sim World 7 to be revealed on August 25? Dovetail Direct could show TSW 7 for the first time!

Dovetail Games will hold its next major Direct on August 25 and plans to discuss the further development of Train Sim World. Events like these have been used to reveal new main entries in the series in recent years. This time, however, there is not even confirmation that Train Sim World 7 is coming at all. Is the silence part of a planned surprise, or will Dovetail break its annual pattern in 2026?

Almost 13-Year-Old Consoles Will No Longer Hold TSW Back: The Right Decision or a Betrayal of Loyal Players?

Train Sim World already lacks AI trains, timetable services and technical details on PS4 and Xbox One – yet even TSW6 and new add-ons continued to appear on hardware from 2013. Dovetail is now drawing the line and promising developers more freedom for performance and graphics. Is this decision long overdue after almost 13 years, or is the company leaving behind the very players who helped fund TSW for years?

TSW6 Is the End: New Train Sim World Titles Will No Longer Come to PS4 and Xbox One!

Train Sim World has been running on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One since 2018, with even TSW6 and numerous new routes still releasing for the consoles from 2013. Dovetail Games is now drawing a clear line: Future core titles and newly developed add-ons are moving entirely to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. Will our existing collection remain intact – and what will we players actually gain from this platform break?

Better to stop three days early than release unfinished: Did Dovetail make the right decision?

The price had been announced, the store page was online, and all 88 kilometres and 28 stations had been presented – then the emergency brake was applied three days before launch. Dovetail Games delayed the Tadami Line after early testers reported lower-than-expected performance. The decision was correct. The fact that it became necessary so late still raises uncomfortable questions.

An 88-kilometre Japanese debut – stopped three days before release: The Tadami Line has been delayed!

Train Sim World was supposed to travel to Japan for the first time on Thursday – but that will no longer happen. Dovetail Games has withdrawn the planned July 30 release of the Tadami Line at short notice. The decision follows performance problems identified through feedback from early testers. The company has not yet announced a replacement date.

41 Cents per Kilometre: Is Train Sim World’s First Japanese Route Worth Its Price?

€35.99 for a single route is no longer a surprise in Train Sim World. However, the Tadami Line combines an extraordinary Japanese debut, 88 kilometres of track and 28 stations with only one basic vehicle type. Do around 41 cents per kilometre represent a strong overall package – or are we primarily paying for the new country?

Why Hamburg U1 & U3 for Train Simulator is not available on Steam yet!

Hamburg U1 & U3 is one of the most exciting German subway addons for Train Simulator Classic – but of all places, the new version is still missing on Steam. This is causing frustration in the community, because many players already own the earlier U1 version on Steam, have credit there, or want to keep their Train Simulator content collected on one platform as much as possible. At the same time, the addon itself is no longer just future music: Hamburg U1 & U3 is already available at Just Trains. So why is it taking so long for the route to appear on Steam as well?

DLC prices: Why we pay 30 euros for 20km of rail – and why that has to stop!

DLCs have long been part of everyday life in railway simulations. New route, new vehicle, new timetables, new package – and very often another price where many players first have to swallow. It becomes especially difficult when routes feel short, are sold individually and, in the end, the impression arises: Instead of one large line, several small bites are preferred. But is that really pure profit maximization – or is there also understandable development effort behind it?

Halensee curve for the S-Bahn Berlin Map completed: What is planned for the final update!

The S-Bahn Berlin Map recreates a large part of Berlin’s S-Bahn network for Train Simulator Classic. Although regular development has ended, one final update is still planned. The Halensee curve has now been completed as an important addition to this concluding version—but what else may still be included?

Berlin Ringbahn: Why this “dog’s head” is still one of Germany’s cleverest railway routes today!

The Berlin Ringbahn is not simply an S-Bahn route that runs once around the city centre. It is everyday life, a point of orientation, a transport hub, a city boundary in people’s minds and a piece of Berlin history. Around 37 kilometres long, extremely heavily used every day and now also virtually drivable in Train Simulator Classic: The Ringbahn shows pretty well why local transport does not have to be boring. But what actually makes this route so successful?

Train Sim World 6: Warum Dovetail Games weiter auf Unreal Engine 4 setzt – und was ein Wechsel wirklich bedeuten würde

Die Frage taucht immer wieder auf: Warum läuft Train Sim World – inklusive des sechsten Teils – noch immer auf der Unreal Engine 4 und nicht längst auf der neueren Unreal Engine 5? Schließlich wirbt Epic mit schicken Features wie Nanite, Lumen und verbesserten Tools. Klingt nach mehr Grafik, mehr Performance, mehr Glanz – also eigentlich genau das, was sich viele Spieler wünschen. Doch so einfach ist es nicht.
