• Standard Edition has a lot of variety for new and returning players.
• Deluxe Edition provides a substantial boost in content, including the famed Flying Scotsman as well as getting the chance to play the game 5 days early.
• Special Edition is a great way to build an instant collection if you missed out on some of these popular routes. The four routes included in the Special edition are:
  • Linke Rheinstrecke*
    
  • Southeastern High Speed*
    
  • Boston – Providence*
    
  • LGV Mediterranee*

What are the Pre-order Benefits?

• All editions benefit from a pre-order discount (detailed per platform below), and Steam platforms are applicable for a loyalty discount.
• Deluxe and Special editions are required for Early Access, beginning on 21st September 2023 at 16:00 BST for console platforms (Xbox and PlayStation) and 18:00 BST for PC platforms (Steam and Epic)

Platform Discount Breakdown
Loyalty discounts will only be available on Steam, until the 17th of October 2023. However, due to restrictions set out by the platform holders, Xbox, PlayStation, and Epic will not have loyalty discounts. Therefore, we have raised the pre-order discount on these platforms to 20%. To get the maximum discount available, you will need to pre-order before the game launches.

*Pre-order discounts on the PlayStation Store will require an active PlayStation Plus subscription.

Launch Bundles Explained
Regional editions of Train Sim World 4 will be available at launch that include the Training Center and a single route add-on. If you are a returning player and happen to only be interested in one of the new routes, this may be the option for you. This would allow you to experience the new route you’re most interested in and play your existing add-ons from the previous games.

• These bundles will not benefit from early access as they are available from the launch of Train Sim World 4 on September 26th 2023 and onwards.
• As a new player, the Standard and Deluxe editions would offer a better variety of gameplay.
