Welcome to the new CTS: Tram Roadmap Update! Since our last roadmap update, a lot has happened in City Transport Simulator: Tram. We're excited to bring you up to date and share a look ahead at the upcoming improvements and features coming your way in the next few months.
A Look Back at v0.3.0 and v0.3.1
With Update v0.3.0, we introduced major expansions and officially completed Phase 1. We added important content like the Vienna Tram Type D, new career mode levels, and a variety of liveries.
We also expanded the map with a siding track, giving you the option to start as a special service train or finish your route there. To make the gameplay experience more dynamic, we updated the loading screen gallery and added AI trains at the main station to bring the world of Tramau even more to life.
The latest update, v0.3.1, marked the beginning of Phase 2. In this phase, we focused primarily on optimizing AI behavior, switches, and signals, along with fixing numerous bugs reported by you. Additionally, we increased the variety of street traffic and passengers to create an even more immersive game world.
New Update in the Works – v0.3.2
Your feedback is incredibly important to us, and based on that, we’re focusing primarily on bug fixes and stability improvements for v0.3.2. We take your reports on Discord and the Steam Forum seriously and are working to create an even more solid gameplay experience.
However, we will be adding a brand-new feature: collectible keychains! Similar to the postcards you know, you’ll now be able to find souvenir machines around the city that offer keychains.
Each keychain features a tram and includes fascinating background information about that particular tram model—perfect for those who want to get to know the vehicles outside of their daily routes!
The Roadmap – A Look Ahead
Our roadmap offers you a clear overview of what to expect in upcoming updates. It gives you a taste of the features and expansions that are on the way.
Joystick Support and Customizable Controls
We know how important joystick support is to many of you. That’s why we’re working hard on providing joystick and presets for keyboard and controller. Although this feature has been delayed slightly, you can look forward to enjoying it in CTS: Tram later this year!
Two Planned Map Expansions
These new expansions are designed specifically to enhance the unique old town feel. In the old town areas, the atmosphere of Tramau really comes alive—without the usual car traffic that shapes the cityscape elsewhere.
Another highlight of this expansion is the grass tracks, which not only enhance the aesthetic but also give the route a different feel.
We’ve also added an interesting construction site at one station, providing an engaging change of pace and allowing you to experience the ever-evolving city landscape.
Overall, these expansions not only provide a deeper immersion into the world of Tramau, but also deliver a varied gameplay experience, allowing you to explore both the tranquil old town and the city’s new, underutilized areas.
The Path to Console Release
The release of console versions for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S is within reach. In the next Dev Diary, we’ll give you a first look at the console version. Stay tuned—exciting insights await!
