Hands On Touring London, Marseille, and the Alps During Lockdown in Train Sim World 2
Rail nice
Lockdown has been a desperately depressing period for everyone, with many of us barely venturing a few kilometres from our front door for the past 12 months. Being stuck inside for such long stretches of time has proved a strain on our mental health, but it’s also helped us to recognise and appreciate the escapism enabled by video games...
News Train Sim World 2 Travels to Switzerland in Idyllic PS4 Add-On
Swiss special
We’ve already been to the Isle of Man in Train Sim World 2, but the addition of the scenic Arosalinie may just make for the best virtual tourism available in Dovetail’s simulator to date. In this borderline fantasy setting, you’ll be travelling from Arosa to Chur, winding your way through the alps while crossing viaducts and...
News Train Sim World 2 Tacks on Third Full Trophy Set Ahead of Southeastern High Speed Release
Now at over 250 Trophies
Train Sim World 2 is a service game in every sense of the word: it’s regularly updated with new routes, trains, and timetables.

Hands On Touring the Isle of Wight by Train Is the Most Relaxing Gaming of 2020
Train Sim World 2's latest expansion offers some escapism
You can’t travel many places at the minute, for reasons we don’t need to repeat. To be honest, it’s all a bit depressing, isn’t it? We feel you. That’s why we had such a fantastic time travelling across the Isle of Wight by train this weekend. It’s a new addition to the evolving...
Interview Talking Train Sim World 2 with Dovetail Games
Choo-choo
We described Train Sim World 2 as one of the most zen experiences on the PlayStation 4 in our review, and we simply had to catch up with developer Dovetail Games to learn a little more about how a simulation like this makes it to market. We wanted to know more about the research that goes into each location, and what the release has...
First Impressions Train Sim World 2 Is on Track and on Time
Epic rail
The real appeal of the PlayStation 4 is its versatility. While the system is loaded with juggernauts like The Last of Us: Part II and Fortnite, it also appeals to very specific demographics with titles tailored to all tastes and interests. Train Sim World, which launched earlier in the generation and was updated last year, is one such...
News At Least Train Sim World 2020 Was on Time Today
Letting off steam
What do you do when your train has been delayed by a mind-boggling four hours and you’re sitting in a cosmopolitan coffee shop using a busted laptop with 10 per cent charge? Write about Train Sim World 2020, of course, and wish that you really were a rail tycoon so you didn’t have to put up with insufferable cancellations...
Mind the gap
We still haven’t quite concluded what makes the “work simulator” sub-genre so compelling, but Train Sim World definitely taps into it. Like the early days of Farming Simulator, this game’s obsessive adherence to protocol and attention to detail makes it an experience we’ve found strangely compulsive – even if we’ve spent...
