    Today we are bringing an update for Train Sim World 2 which brings with it the eagerly anticipated Meissen extension, and preparation for the London Commuter update coming on October 7th.

    Please be aware that this update will gradually roll-out at different times for all platforms, and don’t be concerned if you don’t have everything listed in the update notes at once.

    Those of you who are on Playstation 5 and Xbox consoles should expect two updates.

    NOTE: we're aware of PS4 players not seeing Meissen and Boston changes post-update. We're investigating and will let you know when we have an update.
