Train Sim World 7 is out on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. Its September 30 Tadami Line add-on, developed by Union Workshop, brings the series its first Asian route and first Japanese route, with future routes planned in Japan, Romania, and Portugal.
Dovetail Games released Train Sim World 7 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, with the Standard Edition including routes in Yorkshire, Bavaria, and Florida. The launch added Freight Transport Mode, Live Weather, and Simple Controls. A free Starter Edition also launched. Freight transport is playable from the start rather than sitting in downloadable content, and the weather system draws on real-time location data.
The route map widened on September 30 with the Tadami Line, which Dovetail describes as the series' first Asian route. Union Workshop developed the add-on. It covers the 88 km single-track line between Aizu-Wakamatsu and Tadami and 28 stations, set before the line was split by the 2011 Niigata-Fukushima heavy rain disaster. Players drive the Kiha 40 series diesel railcar in three color variations. The Steam price is 5,100 yen, and the add-on is available for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
The launch announcement listed plans beyond Japan: first routes in Romania and Portugal, and a return to the Netherlands. The launch dates differed slightly between stores. The announcement put the release at September 15, 2026, while the store page listed September 16 for Japan.
