    I turn that always directly off.... I do not like the music in games. Its a game not a music platform. No offense to people they love it :)

    I don’t mind the music & the person making it is quite talented, but yeah it’s way too dramatic for a train simulator.

    On another note, don’t suppose anyone found the less excitable part of TSW 6’s music to be quite inspired by HBO’s Chernobyl?

    Its nice music no doubt but indeed not correct for the game. It did not match where the game for is. :)

    I love the music! It's brilliant!

    Music is what got me into F1, and it's what got me into Formula e. It's a small way of bringing just a couple more newcomers.

    I've mentioned this in another thread but for me, the TSW3 music is way better than the others. In my opinion the others are way too intense, which isn't what you want for a video game menu music. It should be something calm and ambient, and not something makes you find yourself trudging to the settings menu to turn it off.

    TSW 4 was when I started turning the music off. The previous games weren’t that bad but TSW4 it started becoming more dramatic sounding with the whole orchestra thing going on. I dunno just started getting annoying listening to it lol.

    I actually feel bad for saying that….

    Music has no place in a train simulator so I turn it off completely. Plus I'm not impressed with any of it anyway from a musical standpoint.

    honestly, I think the TSW3 theme was the most calming and nice to listen to, however people have different preferences.


    I think DTG should add customisable TSW menu themes, with options from every iteration of TSW, all the way from 2017 to 2025, I’ll talk more in detail about that in my “More Menu Customisation” Suggestion coming soon.

    In another thread it was said that TSW6 was the 'Coldplay' edition. So perhaps DTG put Chris Martin in charge of a new 'Bugs' department and the music would, obviously, be Fix You.

    Even I would be prepared to put up with his singing in that scenario ;) :D

    Tsw2020 is the only one that I actually remember as well as tsw5, so it’ll have to be that. Feels like so long ago now

    I've only played TSW since the current iteration, but TSW6 sounds quite good.

    TSW2 didn't actually have any main menu music (except for the skippable intro video music which was actually TSW2020's theme music); so it probably should be removed from the poll :)

    Anyway....its TSW4's theme for me
