Game Update Train Sim World 7 Update Notes – September 29th 2026

Today we have a new core patch going live across all platforms at 2pm BST that continues to bring a range of improvements from your shared feedback. Today our highlights include improvements to Beginner Controls, ensuring the HUD reads track signals and limits, as well as triggering SPADs as expected. Additionally, we’ve got fixes to help reduce instances of lower-resolution textures on a range of Add-ons, and more improvements to core routes.

Our teams are currently building our patch for the following week, taking on board more feedback and changes into a sizable update. The plan for our next patch is to address additional performance issues around Nürnberg, and bring more key community-flagged fixes, such as camera movement not feeling smooth and unexpected HUD/text changes.

The patch will be live from 1pm UTC/2pmBST - please note that updates typically load quickly, but in some cases may take up to 24-hours to release across each platform.

Please see our full list of highlights and updates below:
