Hey guy's! I was wondering if we could transfer the routes of TSW 2020 given by game pass on xbox to TSW 2 ! Or will I have to buy those routes?
No, you cannot access routes from TSW2020 that are part of gamepass on TSW2. This is because you are effectively only renting the content from the game pass system. When content is removed from gamepass, you'll only be able to play said content if you purchase it. If you wish to access routes from TSW2020 on TSW2, you will have to purchase them. Make sure that you select TSW2020 content. If you accidentally purchase TSW2 content, it won't be available to use in TSW2020. Once you purchase the TSW2020 add-ons, they become free to download in TSW2 as part of the preserved collection (the exception being North Eastern Corridor as that didn't port over to TSW2).
If you are going to buy any content for TSW2 that is available for TSW, you can get 10% off most TSW content for being a Gamepass member. There are a lot of different ways to purchase TSW routes to use in TSW2 and to save some money as well!
Not wishing to start a flame war I would just point out what SCS Software had to say about CDKeys. https://forum.scssoft.com/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=264305
I had concerns but did a bit of research. I also figured that Microsoft of all companies would be all over any dodgy activities so I hope all is above board. Also paid on PayPal which provides some additional protections. Not an endorsement but just thought I’d relay the experience
If you prefer to go through the Microsoft Store then TopCashback is doing 7% cashback on Xbox Games which seems to work on top of any savings from the sale reductions.
WARNING! Game Pass/Microsoft Store TS2020 content is NOT compatible with TSW2, which is Steam-only: you will NOT get free Preserved Collection routes.
Ignore this post. If you're playing on Xbox and buy from the Microsoft store or CD Keys the routes will work. Guessing someone forgot which sub forum they were in.
