This year, players are being told to ‘Expect the Unexpected’ with a key new feature being the introduction of toggleable random events and train faults to ensure no two services ever feel the same. From signal delays to speed restrictions, players must stay alert to overcome unpredictable challenges. The game will guide players through resolving these unpredictable events, to get back under way and on to their destination.

Continuing the unexpected theme are the new routes and trains to the series. In the USA, it’s off to the east coast with NJ TRANSIT® through the New Jersey suburbs in both ageing and modern traction. UK players can experience the thrill of coastal running along the Riviera Line, often described as one the most beautiful stretches of railway in Britain. This route also marks the long-awaited return of the GWR brand to the series. In Europe, players can drive beyond the horizon between Dresden and Leipzig, Europe’s largest railway station, with a full variety of freight, passenger, high-speed and shunting services available.

For the first time, brand-new trains will be available in Deluxe Edition ($79.99) for all three routes: the much-requested CrossCountry Voyager, dual-power ALP-45 locomotive and hefty BR 294 shunter.

Adding to the immersion is the full implementation of passenger and platform announcements, with station stops and train departures audibly declared in the three core routes.

Matt Peddlesden, Train Sim World 6’s Executive Producer: “We’ve been keen to listen to players in our recent surveys and feedback to give them the features and content they’ve been asking for. Random events and audible announcements have been at the top of their list for some time, and we can’t wait for players to experience them in new routes and trains that they’ve also been requesting.”

Fans that pre-order the Deluxe/Special Edition ($119.99) get access on Sept. 25, 2025.

Players will be able to try Train Sim World 6 for free with the Free Starter Pack available from launch until November 11, 2025. This includes steam, diesel and electric locomotives within the Training Center demo route, along with tutorials and tasks to complete.

The series will also be exploring new horizons with several future Train Sim World 6 Add-ons announced, covering routes in new countries such as Portugal and Czechia, as well as a new route in the USA and a first look at gameplay for the Japanese Tadami Line. As usual, players will be able to bring their existing collection of routes and trains over to Train Sim World 6.

Train Sim World 6 is coming to PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC on September 30, 2025 at $49.99.
