The big-budget, aeroplane simulator may exist on another system, but at least us PlayStation commuters have the PS5 version of Train Sim World 2 to look forward to. It’ll depart on 19th August alongside the new Rush Hour update, which will get underway with the gigantic 43-mile Boston Sprinter route.
The press release teases: “The Boston Sprinter includes the 43-mile route from Boston, Massachusetts to Providence, Rhode Island and a four-mile branch from Canton Junction to Stoughton. This add-on features the Amtrak ACS-64 as well as the MBTA F40PH-3C diesel locomotive. It’ll arrive with exceptional authentic sound recordings taken from the real locomotives.”
As always, there’ll also be a full timetable for you to complete, as well as a bunch of training modules and campaign-like scenarios. Two more Rush Hour routes will follow: Nahverkehrsnetz Dresden to Riesa and London Victoria to Brighton. A Season Ticket will be available, costing £34.99/$39.99, and will entitle you access to all three routes as they release.
Train Sim World 2 is a surprisingly sedate and relaxing experience, so we’re really excited to see how its performance is enhanced by PS5.

I’m getting more and more tempted to try one of these out. I picked up Journey to Kyoto recently because I have great memories of traveling on the Eizan line, and I am completely enamored with arriving on time and obeying the speed limit. I’m sure the Train Sim World games are more complex than Sonic Powered’s admittedly simple offering, but it’s getting harder to ignore the call of the rails.
I just bought this this morning! And was hoping for a ps5 upgrade and here it is! The game is great, I loose track of time completely when I’m playing it.
@Amnesiac It's got a very similar appeal to it. Visuals are quite basic, but it's very relaxing when you're cruising along.
I love how they put RUSH HOUR in caps and super tough metal font.
@get2sammyb It's already there. At first impression looks a bit better but 60fps is missing ...or maybe never been announced?
@gza Not tried it yet but I did an interview with the dev earlier in the week and they told me it was 60fps...
Hey guys, I’ve upgraded to the PS5 version but my progression has reset to 1. Does your progress not carry over? Or is there another procedure to do it?
