At it's core it is just the original TSW from years ago rebadged for another yearly release in an attempt at keeping it in the sales charts, it has the same bugs which DTG had promised for years to fix, it still has features promised years ago to be implemented, or implemented properly so they are actually usable. It is annoying because it would be an enjoyable game, mostly thanks to third party developers but …

I cannot recommend this game to anyone. Train Sim World 6 continues the established predatory formula of Dovetail Games’ railway simulation series. I entered the franchise with Train Sim World 4, and even I have a difficult time discerning significant advancements in this iteration compared to its predecessors, including TSW5. While TSW offers a respectable simulation experience with visually adequate graphics and a …

A chill but detailed train simulator with realistic routes and smooth controls — it’s satisfying to drive different trains and follow timetables across cool scenery. Visually nice and easy to get into, though it can feel a bit repetitive if you just want nonstop action. Perfect if you like relaxing simulation games.

Train world sim is just best relaxing experience you can get out there. If you want to run away from your world for just a moment then it will be here. Cosy, drividable wind filled with nice scenery of mountains and cities that interconnects your trips. So many beautiful tracks and more trains to test your skills. Every train feels unique and special. Its like they have their own personalities and charms. Every one …

Good game - however dovetail is a money hungry company and they put as much stuff behind a fat price tag as they can so absolutely not worth the price

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have played this game a lot, and indeed the series since Train Sim World 2. But this is the end of the line. The same problematic game engine has been tweaked for years, yet it has somehow never become a better game. By this point, the developer Dovetail Games are stuck. They re-release tweaks to the game every year, for which you have to pay to download new (often buggy) routes to be able to experience any of the new features. The new features almost never apply to the routes released prior…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →its just train sim world 2 but repackaged again and again and again and again oh and it still runs terribly xD maybe they could... oh i don't know... focus on fixing bugs and performance issues rather than releasing more and more buggy and unoptimised slop for £30 oh and they still sell older routes and such for full price without even updating them with a single new feature... very cool!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As I understand it Train sim world 7 is coming are way, Dovetail Games should take a leaf out of SCS studio's , they don't make you pay out every 1 or 2 years for a new version they just up dates there games for free. ATS / ETS2 are 10 years old and going strong and that's because they care about the people who play there games. They updates free to make these games look fresh and to want people to play these game. Yes when they bring out a new map extension you pay for it if you want it but…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's not worth it. I would only expect you to play TSW6 if you A) received it for free as part of the upgrade or B) if you have never played TS6 before. Don't pay for the upgrade. The same bugs as always exist - extreme hiccups, slow loading, visuals have the same defects. On top of that all of the new "features" are completely missing from the game until new DLC come out so you don't even get them without paying more, and even then the new DLC is buggy. Shameless cashgrab.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Reposting my reviews from TSW3, 4, and 5 here since this is the same game. I would stay away from this series. DTG has showed a lack of customer appreciation and has shown they really don't listen to the community. For years, myself and others have tried to give constructive feedback, and any criticism of the game is met with extreme backlash from DTG white knights and community partners who will never acknowledge anything negative about the game. If we never address the negatives and fix them,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun detailed trains, but experience is constantly over-shadowed by terrible optimisation and shaders that process in game, rather than beforehand while you load in. The routes are quite beautiful and relaxing, just a shame it stutters like crazy. I want to play this as much as euro truck sim 2, but the stuttering is too bad man. Never seen a dev properly respond to these stuttering issues. Happy to change review if dev can acknowledge stuttering issues. The frequency of me saying the word…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dovetail Games as always never really fixes the performance and just microwaves TSW2, because TSW6 is just TSW2
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Rating: 1/10 — and the entire point goes to one baffling decision: NO CLOUD SAVES. It's 2026. Steam Cloud is free for the developer and takes an afternoon to wire up. Dovetail didn't bother. Your entire profile and all your savegames live as local files and nothing else. No backup, no sync, no safety net. I reinstalled the game on a different drive — a completely normal thing to do — and my whole profile was gone. Wiped. I assumed cloud saves had me covered, like literally every other…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Performance is atrocious even on high-end computers. With PCs getting super expensive, Dovetail needs to focus on optimization ASAP.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TL;DR - Dovetail Games does not care for your enjoyment of the game, their only care is harvesting as much money from you with as little effort as possible. "[...] and this year we have prioritised requests directly from you, our lovely community, you asked we deliver." ~Dovetail Games during Dovetail Direct 2025. Unless everyone wanted another re-release of the exact same game riddled with bugs, no one asked for this, nor did they for Train Sim World 5, 4 or even 3. With Dovetail's track…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Another year, another "new version" for TSW. Anyone who do not understand the reason yet: this way they can nuke all reviews for the game and all buggy, substandard, never-fixed many years old DLCs plus it puts them on the radar / best selling lists again. Same old, same old. Performance depends on the route - some run well, some are atrocious and run as bad as they did in 2018 when I had a i7-3770K and GTX 970. Even under the best circumstances and optimized routes, the runtime shader…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →WARNING: Rant incoming :) Nope. This is not it, DTG. Sorry. After years of being alternatively excited and frustrated by DTGs releases, and being (just like pretty much everyone) annoyed with the yearly re-branding cycle, forcing players re-install the same game, and mostly being frustrated with most routes being way to short for my taste and often feeling like abandonware a few months after release, I jumped ship to SimRail. After tasting those multiplayer servers while it was still in beta,…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The TUTORIAL levels are bugged. I followed the instructions exactly, and am stuck in a level because it seems to think the brakes are stuck on. This is an issue I've seen other have online and apparently there is no fix besides restarting the level and hoping it works. Not the first bug I've seen in the game already, as in another mission the train would just not move forward, and after a few minutes of looking around to see what control I missed, it randomly started moving. The tutorials are…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Train Sim World COULD be one of the best train simulator, but it remains just a "could be" because the developers are overly profit driven and too lazy to exploit the simulator's true potential. For many years, the game's performance optimization was terrible. While it finally runs well after all this time, it is a shame that we had to wait years for this, and even now, bugs still occur from time to time during gameplay. But what is the biggest problem with Train Sim World? 1. Route Length…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →first off, this game is identical to the previous 3 games in the series. the new features plastered all over the shop are not game-bound, they are dlc-bound. yet i'd be hard pressed to actually find it advertised as such anywhere. the dlc situation overall is absolutely, certifiably insane. to get a playable service you fancy on your spanking new dlc, you now need to purchase a separate dlc for another separate dlc! and yes, dlc for dlc is an actual thing here, has been for quite some time.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cashgrab with lots of bugs. Nothing else to say. Average DTG.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Honestly I was expecting more in terms of optimalization but the game performance is just horrible imo. Even tho I have rtx 5070 the game is still stuttering and I have just 0 fun from playing this. Would not reccomend buying it before they will fix the performance issues!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good game - however dovetail is a money hungry company and they put as much stuff behind a fat price tag as they can so absolutely not worth the price
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Lots of negative reviews are from dedicated players frustrated by the Developer's business model. Fair enough. Game is overpriced: true. But for the few people reading this wondering if you'd like the sim: it is fun. It is fun if you enjoy learning the intricacies of safety systems. If you wing it, it will be frustrating. If all that you want is to play arcade-mode, this game will get boring fast. Buy it (UK is balanced, US is full of invisible signals and require intimate knowledge of tracks,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a paid DLC trap. The trains and routes given with the game purchase are few, the majority of routes and trains are behind paywalls. The game looks alright, performs less alright, but passable. I have a controller for this called Rail Driver and it just doesn't work with v6. Train Sim World 6 is a purchase I wish I didn't make. So, overall a weak product with greedy greedy crap of a developer.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Payslop. Pros: I can now buy & play new DLCs Sound fixes Yep, that's it. This is the gaming equivalent of "This could've been an email". This could've been an update. "B-b-but what about the free upgrade window" This shouldn't have been a separate game entirely. The amount of changes and fixes compared to TSW5 are so miniscule that there's just no justifying releasing a separate game. Don't get me wrong, I love Train Sim World, but the $50 price tag feels like a punishment more than…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nope. There are some things I will not tolerate in 2026. Massive FPS drops and game stopping lag spikes are non-starters - and I mean to say like 1-2 second game freezes! The issues are well known across multiple game versions, apparently require an engine upgrade or rewrite to properly address, and Dovetail has already publicly said that is not happening. So performance is never getting fixed. First irritation was having to repeatedly log into a Dovetail account, so that immediately stopped…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Same bullcrap as the last one. None of the existing bugs in DLCs fixed but they have the audacity to rebrand the previous game and release it as a "new" game. Even Discord's Rich Presence still sees it as TSW4 which is funny and the in-game files are still based on "TS2-Prototype". Dovetail clearly following in EA's footsteps. At least they have the decency to offer players a free upgrade if you alerady own a copy of TSW5 or before, otherwise im sure the community would be more angry. My…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yet again a rehashed old game with outdated tech that runs like a stutterfest even on ultra high end hardware. It is just ridiculous at this point.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is ok. It's fun once you play through every line once and deal with the horrible lag and chop. Apparently it clears up after you play the line once due to it doing "on-the-fly" shader building (Which is a horrible idea). I'm running a good GPU and decent CPU, no reason this game should chop. The DLC's are extremely overpriced and I will most certainly never buy one because of it. If the company wasn't so greedy and actually put out new games instead of slapping a new number on the old…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is one that I really enjoy. The Long Island Railroad is my favorite simulation. It is very realistic. I rode this line as a child and as an adult. When I am back on Long Island I ride it into NYC. The scenes I remember. I even discovered in the simulation the turntable behind Jamaica station in the roam mode. I am 86 years old. I think this a great game for young and old.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TL;DR Recommended if you are new to train simulation. It works well as a first contact with train driving, and helps you discover what you enjoy (kind of train/operations/line) before deciding whether it is enough for you or whether you want to move on to a simulator better suited to your expectations. Train Sim World 6 is, unfortunately, a textbook case of wasted potential. Built on a modern engine with full 3D environments and a huge DLC catalog, this should be the dream train simulator.…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you'd told me this game came out a decade ago I'd believe you, that would at least explain the awful UI, bugs, and near-constant jittering while moving at any reasonable speed. The biggest red flag is the microscopic amount of base-game content and HUGE DLC pages that scroll for a VERY long time. They know their target audience - if you aren't a whale, avoid this garbage.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →not getting a review reset, it's the same game as the previous 4/5 iterations if anything tells you how much the dev cares, the same bugs from tsw2 still appear in tsw6....
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dovetail will released half assed DLC, then never fix it, unless its British, then they'll fix it. Routes like the MBTA still have broken features like the F40 headlights being EXTREMELY bright. Meanwhile the other NA routes are way too dim. I'd advise against buying this game if your an American looking for American content. Stuff like the NJT ALP45 still have broken cab announcements. On the BNSF route the horn on the ES44's get stuck and make the horns on the units un-usable pretty much.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Can't Import profile Can't create new profile Game looks same anyway Dovetail Games have lost their ways and have made a money machine for the same thing over and over again. Lazy approach to everything but most attention to charging us for trains but won't even optimise performance of their games. Out of sight out of mind approach. Never seen Dovetail Games respond to the community in regards to the future or if any games will be optimised. This is the final time I will ever interact with…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Even though this game has good graphics and good simulation it still doesnt rules out that dovetail games is money hungry studio, everything is locked up behind DLC's.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I’ve been playing Train Sim World 6 since May 2026, and it’s become one of my favorite simulation games. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve found myself enjoying realistic simulator games much more than fast-paced action titles, and this game definitely scratches that itch. My favorite routes are the Harlem Line and the Long Island Rail Road. Having lived along the Harlem Line, I can really appreciate the level of detail the developers put into recreating the route. While no simulator is ever going to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Train Sim World® 6 Dovetail Games. Steam disclosure -y
neutral · AI labelView post →So many train operations are constantly breaking for whatever reason, that will prevent your train from running properly. And they're aware of this so they put in a "I'm stuck, reset train physics" button in the pause menu. But sometimes that doesn't help and you'll be sitting on a motionless train, resetting it, applying and releasing brakes and throttles, flipping circuits, for 5-10 minutes just to get the thing rolling. And this is with the option for tripping Events turned off. And even…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I can't believe this is the best we can get in a modern train sim. Bugs everywhere unfixed for years and years. No one putting any effort to fix them. Just pump out new DLCs for mo' money. Fix the bugs. FIX THEM! EVERYWHERE. EVERY ROUTE AND EVERY TRAIN. FIX THEM ALL! (They don't care)
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Excellent game/program. I have worked on the railroad for over 59 years. Mostly steam, and now diesel electric. Of course, you are not going to get the full feeling of being on a locomotive with a computer program, but I can honestly say that this is my favorite program, and I don't play trains on computers, unless instructing for the railroad. Again, not computer program can perfect the actual activity or experience, but this Train World 5 and 6 do a great job. I was running the Jubilee…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Please include Indian Railway network and locos as well. India's Alco WDG Diesel Locos are super cool. Also, Alstom is also working for Indian railways. Alstoms WAG12 is one of the most powerful electric Locos in India. Also the Konkan railroad route in India is really challenging. The game is super cool.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The gameplay is what you'd expect from a train conductor simulation, but the performance makes the experience hard to enjoy. Even if you're happy to just sit in the cab of a train for 10 minutes staring out of the window not doing anything until the next speed increase/decrease zone, the constant stuttering really pulls you out of the game. In my case, some of the stutters were several seconds long. In the tutorial for the game, it performed decently well with over 100 fps at all times, not…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As a complete novice, I really appreciate being taken by the hand and guided all the way through the tutorials. The instructions are very clear, but I did get stuck sometimes when a button wasn't reachable from the driver's seat or when I forgot the exact location of some kind of obscure setting. Restarting always helped though. I would appreciate having more variety in landscapes/routes. There are only 4 available main routes in the basic product, and some of the (partial) routes seem to be…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Same as the last game just with a few new features but the game still suffers from lag spikes even on a high end PC. Still buggy! Also wasn't the track shadows supposed to have been fixed and improved in the last game and yet they seem to be back! Only brought this version as I got deluxe version for £42 and I really wanted the new Exeter to Plymouth/Paignton line as it's near to me otherwise I wouldn't have bothered. Really like the new Exeter Plymouth/Paignton line but there are a few things…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is generally fun and has great potential. However there are many situations which are more than frustrating. There are too many situations, where a train just dont drive and there is no tutorial in the world which can help you out. Restarting the game or the scenario sometimes solve things, sometimes not. Why is the keybinding area not searchable? A recent example of a stupid situation: I spend a long time riding my DB train from Leipzig to Dresden. It got a fault event, which is…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a bit of a guilty pleasure for me. Similar to Euro Truck Simulator 2, I'd classify this as a zen gaming experience. Bad weather outside? Pop on some headphones, open a podcast and learn something about trains.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bad Tutorial and UI Design After struggling 1.5 hr with the tutorial, which most instructions are in text instead of UI hint plus you cannot even skip the boring narration, the game puts you in a total different locomotive for main game making the whole tutorial seems like a waste of time. While the pop up messages told player to turn on the "train safety systems", there are no related tutorials to be found in game. To me, this game is only bearable after watching tutorials made by youtubers…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the most problematic and controversial games I've ever seen. There is no other train simulator that could offer the same variety of trains from different countries with more or less decent depth and gameplay options. Other games might do each their own thing better, but are usually either limited to a single region (SimRail, Run8, Derail Valley), lack visual fidelity (Run8, Zusi, Maczina), gameplay scope (HmmSim Metro) or interactivity (Running Train, TS Classic) of TSW. However,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was very skeptical and hesitant at first, especially as others had noted the constant stuttering and lag, but after doing some searching online I learned something that seems to be completely true. Let me start off by saying YOU. WILL. EXPERIENCE. LAG. PERIOD. This is a ‘FEATURE’ , NOT a bug. The reason being is that the game loads the shaders as you drive the route so that means your first time playing every route you will have to load shaders and experience lag, does not matter how strong…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Insane. Made 6 versions of this now, and there are still bucks that should have been gone by Train Sim World 2. Stutters every time you earn experience, which is basically every objective on every trip. Just finished an hour journey and then game didn't even know what to do when i stopped as told. Tool tips even disappeared. Don't with this unless its like 90% off
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Imagine leaving one game in a broken mess and then launching a new one with exactly the same bugs...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I bought the deluxe special whatever edition and the MAJORITY of locos especially the really cool ones like the croco the scotsman etc are DLCs. One loco for £14. WOW. Try some of the other sims instead.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Too buggy and error prone. The BR294, soecifically, is near inoperable. Maybe that's how the real thing is, too. From what I can tell, the game just randomly decides when the throttle will no longer function regardless of troubleshooting steps. I always wind up needing to reset the Sim physics, and even that doesn't always work.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just go play Derail Valley. Nah, the game is full of bugs, performance issues, jitters, struts, lag, whatever you want to call it. Went over the performance issues, did all the tutorials and jumped in a Scenario that starts at night. And I have questions for the developers, which, from the design of the game. never ever turned on a headlight to even a car. Do you even turn on your headlights to your own car when you drive? How can you make the headlights of the trains 5 meters in front of the…
