Dovetail Games Announcing Train Sim World 6 And Dovetail Direct: Summer 2025

As I'm most in German routes, I'm kind of disappointed. The route is nice but it's just an extension of existing content which has already got an overhaul, no new locos in the standard version. US and UK routes were chosen much better in my personal view. The upcoming German route seems really short as well...
Core features sound really cool, hope they are not too much present so that you don't have too much in one run

 

Both branches will be: both to Penn and to Grand Central)

 

From a UK perspective the only truly new loco is the 220 which I love. The other locos announced are locos or derivatives of locos already in the game, which is disappointing.

 

Yes, I have expected the Dresden-Leipzig route extension in TSW4 already, a Rapid Transit rebuild like LIRR would have been way more interesting, extension to Wittenberg, Halle, etc., similar to the Frankfurt S-Bahn, it would have also been not so busy, so easier to run. The City-Tunnel is really great and it does not seem to be included here? In TSC it was included at least for the same route, also I did not see any Talent 2 in S-Bahn livery, I hope it will be available at least for the people who own Rapid Transit, an update to the train would have been nice though.

 

Please no.

 

Looks like there's no plans to bring TSW6 to gamepass, not sure why this version is being skipped, but it means I'll be waiting a year for them to get an 80% discount.

 

I'm fine with Dresden Leipzig but getting no new passenger rolling stock is hugely disappointing. Like the UK got so much new rolling stock and we got a shunting locomotive

 

Actually I empathize with that. Although I know approximately where the routes are located, a map or two would have helped.

I've ridden the Morristown years ago, I looked up the Devon route on an old UK road map and I know Dresden and Leipzig are in what used to be the DDR. Tadami, Czechia and the Portuguese route have no idea.

Guess we'll have to drag out the old World Atlas .

 

I am definitely getting the deluxe... routes could be better but overall ok... I am just wondering, will Dresden - Leipzig succeed the original Dresden - Riesa route? I mean, I am loving the fact we will get to drive the whole thing now... as for other content, loving the fact Czech Republic is coming to TSW, although I am not a big fan of those old diesel thingies (I vastly prefer modern Skoda EMUs and such), but at least I will get to finally learn Czech/Slovak signalling and safety stuff - anyway, this is promising we might get to see even some Slovak content in the future, hopefully electric

as for other announced routes and locos... willl get the expert one for sure for the hell of it, the Portuguese, will see... Stuttgart will get definitely, even tho I prefer more modern rolling stock...

I am also liking the fact it comes out at the end of September, which means my wallet can get wasted on some books and such in the meantime

 

If I recall correctly, there were no plans to bring TSW5 to gamepass immediately from launch either, but it made its way on there.

 

I’ve just checked and there’s no preorder discount on PS5 just the normal PS+ discount and no loyalty discount.



Yeah, no surprises there.

 

Ahhhh okay, I guess I can hope the same thing happens this year then.

 

If TSW6 launches on 9/30, that's the day after the Steam Fall Sale begins.

Interesting coincidence.

 

Those poor acheivement hunters.

Will Train Sim World 6 have new achievements?
Yes, Train Sim World 6 will have a new set of achievements to earn. However, add-ons will not support achievements moving forward.

 

That takes me half of the fun

 

I'm curious that there was no mention of the HIS Santa Fe pack in the " Take A Ticket " presentation.

I guess we'll see it on the Roadmap later this week??

 

Why has Dovetail decided they need a Discord? Are they planning to discontinue the forum?

 

Take a ticket is about routes, not about separate rolling stock or gameplay packs.

 

...we got a loco announcement in it.

 

Yeah, sorry, forgot about that.

 

Diesel

Electric

Wow Bombardier Birth ALP-45DP

 

What about Caltrain?

 

DTG has explained everything on TSW 6 FAQ
(https://support.dovetailgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/29015339200914-Train-Sim-World-6-FAQ)

 

The fact DTG aren't adding TSW6 to Xbox Gamepass is really disappointing for Xbox players, we never get any sales then TSW6 is not coming to game pass, I know I wont be buying anything TSW6 unless it has a very high discount. However I would like to know why this decision has been made to screw over Xbox players? Is it to make more money off of people buying the core routes? It's a shame because from the screenshots the Riviera line looks quite nice.

 

I noticed something interesting in the FAQ, and I normally use the keyboard in TSW5 on PS5 these days, and some functions are easier to control, such as switching views, the American bell, etc.

Will consoles support a keyboard and mouse?
No, the console experience has been optimised for a controller. We have no plans to add support for keyboard and mouse currently.

 

LOL FINALLY RIGHT, You must be happy and overjoy. I also wonder why did they stop at Dover station and not continue up to the last stop? Isn't because of a train that have not been licensed yet?

 

I know. Matt said on a livestream that they were going to look into adding support for keyboard. I love using the keyboard with the controller.

 

To answer your question is the one that most people here in Train sim community us side have been asking for which is the MNRR New Haven Line- also known as the Stamford Connecticut Line featuring the used of Kawasaki M8 Trainset.

 

if your talking about random event i believe there is an option to turn it off on on, according to your preference.

 

Wait so that mean we will see an Metro North M8 along with an Amtrak train running on the same line at the same time? Does that mean we have two route on one route? Cause if this is the case this is BIG, which is the first time American route have two different train running on one route. Its about time already.

 

That's really unfortunate. That doesn't give me a reason why.

EDIT: So I have a feeling that TSW5 didn't have official support either and it ended up working, but I don't know

 

If i correctly recall on the last video Didn't DTG mention there are also NEW TITLE Games that they were going to announced? What happen to that?

 

I know I said before in one of the prediction/speculation threads that I would immediately turn random events off because I don't trust them not to break something, but they do look interesting - if they don't turn out buggy.

I'll leave them on, but the moment one breaks a run, they're being turned off

 

They have Got to REDO Grand Central Terminal and Bring it UPTO Date because it does not look anything like Grand Central Terminal when they do the Stamford Connecticut Line.

 

Maybe its due to the pricing of the game? How must discount do you think we will see?

 

Like none except loyalty -10%.

 

What happened to

• Additional brand-new titles are coming soon from the Dovetail Games team!,

Did this just mean TSW6 DLC and not new game announcements?

 

Keyboard can already be used on console, they just don't advertise it since its presumably a "happy accident"

 

I personally would cancel the scoring, or rather the medals......

 

Nothing really new. Nothing I can't wait for a sale for.
The Riviera line might be nice (if the layers pan out... too bad it's modern)
The ALP-45DP is "neat"...
Nothing that can't wait for a sale.
For the first time will probably just do the free upgrade and wait on sales.
I was definitely not the target audience.

 

So those who don't have PS+ won't get the discount. Those of us that do, will.
Steam and XBox also getting the 10% but I believe one of them lists the 10% as a loyalty discount and not a pre-order discount.

£12.99 for the 220 Voyager add-on.

 

Dresden Leipzig seriously? Pay for Dresden Riesa for the third time?

 

Aparrently not the announcements or train faults though. Real shame that most of the content of old is going to just be ignored especially the newer routes like WCML and Suffragette etc - ones that are essentially the easiest to pull announcements for as they're all public basically apart from LNWR which isn't licensed anyway.


I suppose once again it will fall to modders to somehow make this happen for older routes if they can.

 

With the addition of the 1442 as a layer on Leipzig, maybe it is time to finally fix that one, and the traction problems when working two coupled sets. Hopefully they also fix the broken scenario on RT.

 

I just spoke to my brother who is a train driver on WCML and he asked how you find out about random events. I think it's just a pop up in game by the sounds of things with other pop ups to help you respond.

Be good if the pop ups you get align with your settings about notifications and in game help so you can try and work it out for yourself rarher than being told the fix. My brother had to fix a fault by resetting a whole heap of stuff the other day as quick as he could so he didn't run late.

Also, I wonder if you could play by starting in the Booking On office and have to sign in be given your list of trains to drive, any info on speed restrictions and then make your way to your first train. Like a mini-career mode. Then complete your shift and get a score depending on how you perform including responding to random events.

Maybe I'll make a suggestion as DTG seem to be listening

 

Im wondering if Talent 2 and other Liepzig-Dresden re-used rolling stock get’s a suspension upgrade.

 

My thing is with the Morristown line is that we shouldve got the comets instead of multilevels and theres no empire state building and chrysler building in the skyline which you can see from Hoboken and from the mountain along the Morristown line

 

Good morning Jan, will you create a dedicated thread today to put our questions in for tomorrow's roadmap stream?

 

I have a bad feeling that this won't be the case as we did not see these trains at all in the video despite they are running up to Oschatz, the worst case would be if they use the red 442 for these stops. I also do not know why they did not include the tunnel part, it is best and most interesting thing in Leipzig.

The 1442 needs a general update, it is just really awful and outdated, the additional PIS screens do not work at all and they still only show the destination and not the time, next stop, etc. we have seen on other trains.
