Announcement New Köln-aachen Timetable - Update For Xbox Platforms

Hello everyone,

We wanted to follow up on the update that Xbox players received yesterday for Köln-Aachen, why this happened, and our next steps.

Yesterday, on May 7th, an update was shared to all Xbox platforms (Xbox One, Series S/X and Win10) for Train Sim World 5 that included the new Koln-Aachen Timetable update, which was a free update that our teams have been testing which (with all relevant content installed) will boost the service count considerably from the original 552 services to over 4000 (with around 600 playable).
Read more information about the new Köln-Aachen Updated Timetable.

For additional context, our teams had previously been made aware of a pricing error shown for Koln-Aachen on the Xbox store for Swiss players. After we pushed an update to amend this value to the expected price across all Xbox platforms, we unintentionally shared a build that included the new Koln-Aachen Timetable updates, which is why all Xbox platforms saw these changes yesterday afternoon.

This wasn’t something we were anticipating releasing at this point, and we wanted to apologise that we weren’t able to communicate this with you all clearly in advance of the update being shared.

Please be aware that whilst the new update brings a range of new service variety to the route for Xbox players, these changes have not completed testing by our teams, so you may encounter unexpected issues.

Next Steps
Our teams will continue to test this update internally and monitor the performance; please be sure to continue sending any feedback you have via our Koln-Aachen Timetable feedback thread.

For players on PS5 and Epic Games, we will review the initial feedback from the update on Xbox platforms, alongside our own internal testing, and we will share an update soon once we’re able to prepare the release on these platforms.

Thank you for understanding everyone, we hope you enjoy the new changes.
