Game Update Train Sim World 7 Update Notes – October 7th 2026

Hello everyone,

We have a new patch for you today, releasing at 10 am BST on all platforms, adding new improvements based on your feedback.

This update will bring the missing “Führerraum besetzt” and “Schließvorgang eingeleitet“ sounds to the ICE 4, along with several additional new sounds, based on community feedback. We know our German community has been eagerly awaiting these changes, so we’d like to thank you for your patience.

Also included are many changes to Airedale & Wharfedale, Tri-Rail Miami and Nürnberg – Würzburg, along with some fixes and Quality of Life updates for the Beginner Controls.

Thank you all for your feedback so far. We have more updates coming your way, so keep an eye on our announcement channels

Please note that it might take up to 24 hours for these changes to arrive on your systems. Some systems might also update independently while in Standby mode, without your notice.
