The latest entry in the railway simulation series will release on September 15, 2026 for PC (Steam/Epic Games Store), PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. The Automaton report notes the store page lists September 16 for Japan. The game includes routes such as Tri-Rail in Florida, the Airedale \u0026 Wharfedale Network in northern UK, and Wurzburg in Nuremberg, Germany, along with real vehicles that run on them. Players can operate trains freely, choosing any route and vehicle, or take on the role of a conductor. A new feature makes freight transport playable from the start, letting players move cargo without schedule constraints while switching tracks and rearranging trains. A weather system based on real-time location data reproduces actual local conditions. Safety systems including AWS and PZB are provided. The PC version introduces an Epic setting level with increased draw distance and improved shadows beyond the Ultra setting. DirectX 12 support includes DLSS 4.5 with DLAA and FSR 4 for upscaling and frame generation.","whyItMatters":"The inclusion of freight transport as a core feature at launch, rather than as downloadable content, signals a shift in how the series structures its gameplay loop, per the Automaton report.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003ePre-orders for Train Sim World 7 are already open, with the Deluxe Edition and Ultimate Edition offering five days of early access before the September 15 release, according to Automaton.
