Train Sim World 2 launched on the PlayStation 5 today as a free PS4 to PS5 upgrade alongside its new Rush Hour expansion. We’ll be putting the Boston Sprinter through its paces this weekend, but have had an early play around on the next-gen console and feel pretty good about the interface improvements and lightning-fast loading times. Performance, sadly, is a bit mixed.
One thing that caught our eye, though, is the sheer number of Trophies available at launch: 328. This is nothing new for the franchise, of course, as it’s been adding major DLC expansions semi-regularly since it first released last year. However, on the PS4 developer Dovetail was forced to create multiple different sets, but this restriction appears to have been removed on the next-gen console.
No other title comes close to Train Sim World 2 in terms of Trophy numbers: The Elder Scrolls Online has 142, but this is a frankly flabbergasting number. Not that we’re opposed to it, of course: we recently penned a Soapbox explaining how strange we think it is that major, service-based games like Fortnite don’t add trinkets to coincide with major updates.
It’d take you thousands of hours – and, honestly, hundreds of dollars – to unlock all of the Trophies in Train Sim World 2. But seeing as there’s so much content in the game to enjoy, that’s not a bad thing. If you happen to be a fan of the franchise, you could dedicate the next 18 months to it and you’d still have things left to do.

It's a shame that they didn't add in cross save, don't fancy restarting some of the routes.
WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THIS
That’s a lot. But not even a tiny bit of a patch on Tales of Maj’Eyal on Steam. That has 1782.
@AdamNovice Yeah, cross-save would have been nice!
Just had a look at the trophy list...
‘Operate any rail vehicle for 10,000 miles’... ‘Travel 100 miles on foot’...
Yeah, I think I’ll give this one a miss 👀
Fortnite should definitely add trophies for Battle Royale. I imagine it would bring a lot of new players into the fold. Especially if they added a new trophy list for each new season.
Can’t see it happening now though. Too much like hard work I recon.
100% completionists dream 😉
So what’s the difference between the PS5 version and the PS4? Better loading? Resolution and LOD bump? Haptics? I cannot seem any article outlying the actual difference.
@Digit2021 The PS5 version has smell-o-vision. When you play the game, the DualSense lets out little farts of train smoke.
So are you saying that all trophies that used to be DLC are on the one list you need to complete to get the plat? Or is there still a base list with the plat and then other trophies, but just seen on the same list?
@fR_eeBritney there are trophies for the very fun campaign mode but only a small portion of the player base actually plays it
Just booted it up now, that MCU style intro is phenomenal 😂
@Digit2021 The main differences are 4K at 60fps, better shadow quality, higher texture quality and draw distance, better memory utilization for timetables and larger passenger numbers.
This is one of the few games where no cross save realllllly stings. Lost a livery I spent tons of time on and now I have to start over on a scenario I was almost done with and took a long time to get to. The game is perdy tho.
