Train Simulator® 2020 is coming to Steam for the Windows PC on September 19th.
Climb aboard the latest installment in the 10 year strong Train Simulator series and challenge yourself to drive diesel, electric and steam locomotives from across the globe. Start your engines and get to work as you master the skills, intricacies and challenges required to get to your destination on time – whether you’re hauling freight through the forested hills of North Carolina on Norfolk-Southern N-Line or getting commuters to work on time along the South Western Main Line – both included in Train Simulator 2020.
You’ll also get the chance to explore the Danube valley with the brand new and exclusive Nürnberg & Regensburg Bahn – only available in Train Simulator 2020. Both freight and stopping services run along this modern route, featuring two of Germany’s oldest stations at Nurnberg and Regensburg and the historic town of Neumarkt.
Finally, Train Simulator 2020 introduces a set of features to reach new heights of visual realism. There are now a range of new options including ambient light, sunlight strength, vignette and field of view control that let each user control how the game appears. From classic railroads in a sepia overlay to modern lines with bright fresh colors, players will be able to experience and capture their Train Simulator experience as never before!
