About Train Sim World 7
Train Sim World 7 is Dovetail Games' 2026 train simulator for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Steam, and the Epic Games Store. Full launch is 15 September 2026, with Deluxe and Ultimate editions opening five days of early access from 10 September. Standard play covers three core routes: Airedale & Wharfedale in Yorkshire, Florida Tri-Rail from Miami Airport to Boca Raton, and Bahnstrecke Nürnberg to Würzburg. Deluxe layers on the Northern Class 333, the Tri-Rail GP49H-3, and the long-requested DB BR 412 ICE 4. New players should start with the getting started guide, finish the Training Center, then toggle beginner controls and learn Freight Hauler and Live Weather. Compare editions before you buy, check system requirements or Steam Deck notes, and read how compatible content from earlier Train Sim World titles carries forward. Use Creators Club once you have a Dovetail Live account. The launch page covers download order and early-access times; the roadmap tracks Tadami Line and later add-ons.

Download in the right order
Follow how to download Train Sim World 7. The Free Starter Edition installs first; route add-ons download separately. Closing the game until those finishes is the usual fix for an empty menu.
