    Trains, Trains and Train-o-mobiles! Looking to continue your journey on Steam? We have a whole train-load of Add-ons on sale this weekend.

    Train Sim World Add-ons - How do they work?

    If you’re new to Train Sim World 5, there's plenty of content to add to your collection. Adding extra route and locomotive Add-ons gives you more routes to explore and more trains to operate. In some cases they can also bring more services and gameplay to routes already in your collection.

    This sale has the Train Sim World 5 Compatible versions of Add-ons on sale. Players of older Train Sim World titles can still make use of these discounts, but will be required to purchase the TSW5 versions in order to be entitled to previous versions.

    For more information on downloading Add-ons on Steam, head over to our FAQs.

    More trains, more services, more routes!

    If you're enjoying Train Sim World 5 and want to add more services to existing routes, or embark on new journeys across new routes, there are key Add-ons that you can add to your collection!

    These include:

    Remastered Routes for TSW4 & TSW5 players
    [​IMG]

    Remastered Route Add-ons bring new life to content that first released for previous versions of Train Sim World. If you're a Train Sim World 5 player, adding these to your collection gives you the Remastered versions with updated scenery, services, timetables, locomotives and feature support.

    These are:
    • Great Western Express (50% off), a high-speed blast with the iconic HST from London Paddington. This route will be Remastered for Train Sim World 5 players in the future. Adding this now means you can get the Remaster for free when it releases.
    • West Somerset Railway (50% off), power through to the Somerset coastline in classic diesel locomotives.
    • Cathcart Circle Line (60% off), run around Glasgow with the Class 314 and off to the Scottish city suburbs of Neilston and Newton.
    • Dresden-Riesa (60% off), add another varied and busy German route to your collection with express, regional and freight traffic all included!

    Iconic trains: Loco Add-ons

    Loco Add-ons are perfect for players wanting to experience their favourite routes again with something a little different. The Add-ons listed below don't require their native Route Add-ons to work and can be spawned on any route in your collection, but additional services, Scenarios and layers will unlock if played on the routes that they are closely associated with.

    These include:

    Unfortunately this sale omits any savings on older routes such as Cajon Pass or London Overground which would add layers to SBL and WCMLS respectively.

    Just out of curiosity, why Steam only and not Epic Games too? Seems like an odd choice to hold a sale but for only one kind of player. Unless DTG plan on having an Epic Games sale next weekend?

    Steam just allows more freedom in terms of sales. Every platform is different

    In my experience outside of the big sales like Black Friday or the Christmas Holiday sale, Epic tends to lag behind Steam with smaller sales by a couple of weeks.

    [EDIT - Jan - Language] Stop giving steam all the sales. Treat all your players equally. Don't be a Sony

    Oh dear. Perhaps learn how the digital game industry, and how the different stores work.

    Do try to learn something about a topic before spouting off. Sales are controlled by the stores, not DTG. Steam does a lot, Microsoft not so many, and Chatham has no control over either.

    I really hope we get a PlayStation sale soon. It’s been like 2 months since the last one at this point, while Steam gets new sale every few days.

    I shouldn't have to buy a PC and re buy everything to benefit. Ridiculous notion. If it's true that the 3rd party online stores are in charge of the sales, thats one thing. How would the average person know that? If true, I apologize. If not and my argument holds water, I've said my peace.

    Steam have more sales than Xbox, Sony and Epic. That's been the case for as long as I can remember. If you somehow did not know that, you do now.
    What platform are you on?

    Doesn’t matter if it’s TSW or a different game entirely. A product on a platform being sold has TOC in place, you can’t expect DTG to call up Microsoft or Sony and demand they refund you so you can switch to another platform.
    You should’ve done more research into investing in your preferred platform.
    I’m writing this message whilst on the toilet, so for the sake of not dropping my phone in the bog I bid you a good day.

    Sony have a policy that nothing can go on sale in the 30 days following release, because all older DLCs got re-packaged as TSW5 compatible the PlayStation store lists every piece of DLC for TSW2, 3, 4 and 5 as having been released on 17 Sep 2024.

    The earliest any of it will be on sale again will probably be the 23rd of October (PlayStation sales nearly always start on a Wednesday and the 16th is too soon).
