This pack is suitable for both new players who want to try out Train Sim World for the first time and for players of previous TSW titles, who want to bring their existing collection over to the latest version of the game.

No new routes are included in the Starter Pack, but selected new features like the upgraded Live Map and Fast Travel are, along with the 8F Steam locomotive, Class 66 diesel locomotive, BR 146 electric locomotive and Class 323 EMU.

Players of TSW2020, TSW2 and TSW3 can also use the Free Starter Pack to upgrade selected route Add-ons in their collection to the Remastered versions, including Dresden-Riesa, West Somerset Railway and Cathcart Circle Line.



If you’re a PlayStation player that’s making the jump from TSW2020, TSW2 or TSW3, we have specific instructions on how to switch over to Train Sim World 5.

Train Sim World 5: Standard Edition will still be available for FREE for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate players.
