    This thread is specifically for PlayStation users who bought their add-ons digitally, and have not played Train Sim World 4. If you already have TSW 4, please refer to How to Download Add-ons for Train Sim World 5 instead.

    If you have been playing TSW 1-3, and you are hoping to play Train Sim World 5 on PlayStation when it launches later this month, we would recommend that you upgrade your add-ons ahead of time.

    Any add-on purchased for TSW 1-3 will need to be upgraded to TSW 4, before you can upgrade the those add-ons to TSW 5. Going forward, you will need to upgrade your add-ons in consecutive order. You will need to go from TSW 1-3, to 4, then 5. You cannot skip TSW 4, by going from TSW 2 to TSW 5 for example.

    However, it is important to note that you do not need to own Train Sim World 4 to upgrade your add-ons.

    [​IMG]

    Examples:
    Depending on which version of an add-on you currently own, the examples below demonstrate the order in which you will need to download your add-ons to get to Train Sim World 5.
    • TSW 2020: Great Western Express > TSW 4: Great Western Express > TSW 5: Great Western Express
    • TSW 2: London Commuter > TSW 4: Brighton Main Line > TSW 5: Brighton Main Line
    • TSW 3: Birmingham Cross-City > TSW 4: Birmingham Cross-City > TSW 5: Birmingham Cross-City

    How to Upgrade your PlayStation add-ons to TSW 4, then TSW 5
    1. Open the PlayStation Store
    2. Search for the TSW 4 store page for the desired add-on.
    3. Select Download to own this TSW 4 version.
    4. Then cancel the download.
    5. When available, search for the TSW 5 store page for the desired add-on.
    6. Select Download to install the TSW 5 add-on.

    If you have any questions, or trouble upgrading your add-ons, please reply to this thread. Please keep your comments on topic. Any off-topic comments will be deleted.

    So if after following these steps, incl immediate cancel/delete, as long as the routes say "purchased" on the TSW4 dlc page, we should be good to go for TSW5 version downloads

    So for the ones we already have TSW4, to update to TSW5 - of course apart from purchasing it -, we goes to PS Store (digital one), and select the "TSW5 compatible add-on" version from previous TSW4 we had already purchased, and download them.
    I am right?

    Note: That was the "procedure" when updating from TSW3 to TSW4.

    When tsw4 released I somehow was able to claim a free dlc in the form of the American shutter for peninsular corridor but unlike most DLCs it does not say I own it on the previous games I am hoping it will transfer to tsw5 and if you could verify this it would be great ( I’m on ps5)

    I'm still on PS4 but considering getting a PS5 as well for a better experience on TSW5. I was wondering how I go about changing over? Thanks.

    The easiest way to do this seems to be in the PSN mobile app. If you just go into TSW4 and scroll down the Add-Ons, they will appear as one of: Unavailable (if you have it installed already), Purchased (if you have it in your library, but haven't installed), Free (if you own it in a previous version and haven't claimed it), or with a price. Just go into any that say Free, and click the "Add to Library". Job's a good un.

    IMG_6167.jpeg I noticed something weird when I did the pre-load for PS5 - when I look at add-ons under TSW5 a bunch of my TSW4 add ons are listed under TSW5 as “shared with TSW4”.

    It seems to have taken the DLC I already have installed for TSW4. I thought I’d have to re-download them? I’m curious what happens when I fire up TSW5, if those DLC will be there…

    I noticed this “shared with TSW4” thingy as well. Can someone from DTG please give some explanation about this? Does this indeed mean we do not need to download TSW5 versions of old DLC? That would be great, but if so, how do we then go about deleting TSW4? Won’t all TSW4 dlc’s be deleted automatically when we uninstall TSW4?

    And if we do need new TSW5 versions of all old DLC’s, when will those be available? Today? Or on sep 17?

    pveezy We are currently investigating with Sony. At this time, it is unclear why PlayStation users are seeing TSW 3/4 content under TSW 5. However, this will not be compatible with TSW 5, so please only download content with the TSW 5 logo.

    kiyoko91 I'm not sure what you mean by "stuff", but you may find the Getting Started with Train Sim World 5 guide useful. Please note that compatible content is not available during early access.

    Thanks, and yeah I can now confirm that none of those add ons appear in the game itself.

    Is anyone looking into the profile import issue that seems to be effecting many PS5 players?

    Is the situation with shared maps from TSW4 already known? Couldn't this be why PS5 users of TSW5 are reporting performance issues etc?

    vendys#6021 No, TSW 3/4 add-ons are not compatible with TSW 5. Having them installed will have no impact on the game. You will need the TSW 5 version of add-ons for TSW 5. You can identify them by the game logo.

    And what we need to do when you press the “download” button and it starts downloading the TSW4 Addon?

    Same problem here (the Netherlands): most of the downloads are only TSW3 or 4. Only a few have the TSW5 logo.

    The question is whether it's just a matter of an incorrectly inserted icon or it won't work under TSW5

    I can't say that then .. until I download it

    I hope it’s just an incorrect icon
    I see a lot of routes with TSW4 icons in my download queue. I ended up using the “cancel and delete” and am prioritizing stuff with TSW5 icons until we figure out what’s going on

    I think DTG sorting out the tile branding might help with the confusion, I’ve downloaded the Suffragette Line and the 710 is working in game, but Christ it looks awful in Euston, the lighting is still abhorrent in places.

    Please ensure that you are using the download instructions provided. You will need the add-ons marked "Train Sim World 5 Compatible" for Train Sim World 5. If you are only PlayStation 5 it will add multiple versions of an add-on to your download queue, because each store page has multiple entitlements associated with. This is expected behaviour and something we cannot change. Please cancel the downloads you don't need.
