    Xbox are still updating their stores to correctly reflect the discount on the standard edition. We expect this to be complete by 00:01 UTC on August 20th.

    It is up to you to decide whether or not to wait for the discount to be applied.

    Is there a problem for those who bought the original game on disc. Will TSW2020 be recognised for TSW2 discount and downloading from Microsoft either direct or vis xbox store?

    So on the stream you say a different time for this discount? Is that Xbox or PS4?

    He said 8 AM on the stream. I know it was the PS4 version being played but I don't believe he stated a different time for Xbox on there.

    Both console discounts are likely to happen at the same time.

    It also says only 48 minutes left on the Deluxe Edition discount. A new discount may activate after this one ends (hopefully on standard also).

    Game not showing at all at 12.10am on Microsoft store? When searching for Train sim world 2 or TSW2 results in no results found! Perhaps it is midnight tonight?

    This link will direct you to your Microsoft Store locale for the game. It should be available in the UK now. Searching train sim world should display it in search results (once available in your region).

    What he said was if you already own East Coastway in TSW2020, don’t buy the deluxe edition of TSW2, just buy the normal version. You get East Coastway as a free add-on if you already have it.

    Hi DTG Protagonist, just to report. Just brought standard. 15 % off is working and searching for east coast way in the store tsw 2 east coast way as I brought it prior is showing up as 'you own this' install to your device. All looks good from here. That is for the UK Xbox store by the way to be clear.

    Same here in GMT+1 (€)
    All the preserved collection contents (until now 5: 3 routes and 2 locos) are in download under TSW2 (root)

    East Coastway works but you have to download it again. Anyone having problems with an ultra noisy fan and their X1X shutting down completely when playing East Coastway?... It's done it twice out of two attempts to play it. Not liking this at all.

    Perhaps its just me - or did anyone else have a difficult time to find a way to purchase the game?

    I could not (and still cannot) see the game to purchase through the store on the XBox console or my laptop by searching Train Sim World 2, TSW, TSW2 or even just Trains!

    Thanks so much to L89 for the link - which was the only way I managed to purchase the game!

    You were not alone. I did the same. The first time just after midnight I scrolled down and it was all TSW2020 Stuff, so gave up and went to bed. I woke in the night and found the same but this time I scrolled further and found it right at the bottom of the list after all the TSW2020 add ons.

    I would have thought Microsoft search was better than it is. Never mind all’s well that ends well, I suppose!!!
