The Train Sim World Roadmap
Welcome to the first Train Sim World 6 Roadmap following release!
Firstly, an important message - thank you to everyone in our community who have been playing Train Sim World 6 since the early access and launch phases, sharing key feedback and talking directly with our teams whilst we get setup across our game platforms.
It’s been a pleasure this year to see the incredible range of screenshots from the community, sharing reactions of your first experiences with the new features and routes/locos you've picked up! We’d once again like to share a massive thank you to all of the people who have helped onboard and share information to help welcome new and returning players on to TSW6 throughout early access until launch.
If you're looking to get involved in our Screenshot competitions, and be highlighted on our articles/socials, be sure to join our new Dovetail Games Discord!
For those who are joining us for the first time, this Roadmap article is a monthly check-in that continues the conversation between our teams and all of you for what to expect beyond the launch from both us and our partners, including brand new add-on announcements, new updates and details, sneak peeks on our current routes in-development, more ways for you to get involved with our community and challenging yourself with new mastery rewards available in-game and any key information that you'll need to know. Fans of UK freight, you may want to keep scrolling for a new announce!
We’ll also be outlining our progress for post-launch improvements coming to TSW6, and a summary of what we’ve been able to release so far. We're listening closely to your feedback and reports, and currently in the process of building our next patches to help improve your experience.
As a bonus this edition, we're almost ready to announce our brand-new Dovetail games title that we teased before our Dovetail Direct this year!
Finally, if you’re new or returning, be sure to join us for our October 2025 Roadmap Livestream tonight (Thursday, October 9th at 18:00 UTC / 19:00 BST), hosted by our Executive Producer of Trains and Community & Marketing Director, where we’ll discuss all of the points below, and answer your questions live!
Train Sim World 6 Free Starter Pack - Until November 11th
We’ve been very excited to keep growing the TSW community and welcoming even more players than ever before as we launch TSW6, and we've brought back our Free Starter Pack this year - so if you've not had a chance to upgrade to TSW6, then why not give it a go for free, whether you're an existing player, or brand-new to the rails!
For those of you who already play TSW, this is a great chance to upgrade and bring all of your TSW compatible content into the latest edition, with more updates and improvements supported, and making use of the new SD-40 in the Training Center.
As a reminder – make sure to claim the Free Starter Pack before it goes away on November 11th, as it will stay in your account to play forever, and it will be your way to access the latest improvements and features. You'll also be able to purchase new TSW6 content, like the upcoming Birmingham-Crewe route!
For more information on the Free Starter Pack, please read our Train Sim World 6 FAQs.
Looking For Support?
Just before we dive into the new content on the way, here's a quick reminder for anyone looking for support with Train Sim World 6, of the available guides and websites you can access to answer any question you have.
