Train Sim World 7

Train Sim World 7 is a railway simulation from Dovetail Games in which you drive trains from the driver's cab, complete timetables and explore routes in free play in your own way. At launch, three new core routes are included: the Airedale & Wharfedale Network in Yorkshire, the Nuremberg–Würzburg line and Florida Tri-Rail between Miami Airport and Boca Raton.

Alongside classic driving, TSW7 expands the series with Freight Hauler, live weather and simplified entry controls. Compatible Train Sim World add-ons from older releases can still be used, provided you own them. New players also get a free Starter Edition with the Training Center and basic tools.

Train Sim World 7 released on Sep 15, 2026 for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Deluxe and Ultimate buyers were able to play from Sep 10 already. On PC, the game is available via Steam, the Epic Games Store and Xbox for PC.

Dovetail only supports TSW7 on the current console generation. There is no native PS4 or Xbox One version. Older Train Sim World games remain playable there, but new TSW titles and newly developed add-ons have been aimed at PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC since Aug 2026.

Confirmed native platforms are PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The PC version is offered via Steam, Epic Games Store and Xbox for PC. TSW7 is also prepared for Steam Deck.

If you already own compatible add-ons from earlier Train Sim World versions, you can keep using them in TSW7. Availability depends on the add-on and store. Content that was only used via an expired subscription or a base game licence that is no longer included does not automatically become permanent ownership.

The focus is on realistic driving with different traction types, safety systems and route profiles. On the German core route Nürnberg–Würzburg you can drive, among others, DB BR 440, BR 442, ICE 1 and Vectron, while Yorkshire and South Florida depict their own commuter and freight services.

Freight Hauler partly frees freight from a fixed timetable: wagons are distributed along the route and must be assembled, shunted and delivered to their destination independently. Live weather brings real, location-based weather data into the simulation. In addition, there is Free Roam, conductor features, a photo mode and Creators Club for custom liveries, formations and scenarios.

On PC, TSW7 upgrades the technology with DirectX 12, a new Epic graphics tier, longer draw distances, better shadows, DLSS 4.5, DLAA and FSR 4. Safety systems such as AWS or PZB can be enabled by default if desired.

Train Sim World 7 is designed as a platform for a large library of route and locomotive add-ons. Many compatible add-ons from older Train Sim World versions can still be used in TSW7 if they were purchased on the relevant account. New add-ons also appear directly for TSW7.

Dovetail plans to keep expanding the route network through its own content and third-party developers. Among the first projects announced after launch is the Tadami Line in Japan. Further routes and vehicles from Great Britain, Germany, the USA and other countries are also in development.

For the PC version, Dovetail lists as minimum Windows 10 or 11 64-bit, an Intel Core i5-4690 or AMD Ryzen 5 1500X, 8 GB RAM and a GeForce GTX 750 Ti or Radeon RX 460 with at least 2 GB VRAM. Recommended are a Core i5-9600K or Ryzen 5 3600, 16 GB RAM and at least a GeForce RTX 2060 or Radeon RX 5700. In both cases, around 35 GB of free storage is required.
