We are thrilled to announce today that the Transport Fever 2 community has grown to over one million players. Some of you have been on board since the early days of Train Fever, others since Transport Fever or Transport Fever 2, and as of this March, we’ve been able to bring all console players on board as well with the Console Edition. We would like to dedicate this post to say thank you to all of you.



Thank you for your support, the great feedback, the great creations, the continued interest - just for everything. In return, we want to assure you that there will be more improvements for Transport Fever 2, both on PC and on console.

With our constantly growing team, we work every day to turn your wishes into reality. Another game update with minor improvements is already planned for July. If you don’t want to miss any news, follow us on our social media channels Twitter, Facebook or Instagram. The journey continues, that much is clear.

We send you the very best regards and see you soon!
The entire Urban Games Team

We would like to say a big thank you to our community! The launch of the Deluxe Edition has been successfully and countless “early supporters” were on board right away. Last weekend, a record was even broken! With almost 10,000 players active at the same time, there were more players playing at the same time than at any time since the first months after the release of the PC version over three years ago.



The launch of the Console Edition of Transport Fever 2 was successful as well and we are pleased about the big interest in the game. We worked hard to optimize the interface specifically for PlayStation and Xbox and are thrilled that the game has been well received on these platforms.

We would also like to emphasize that we are still striving to improve the stability and usability of Transport Fever 2. We know that there is still room for improvement and we are working tirelessly to make the game experience as smooth as possible. That’s why we look forward to bringing you more fixes and improvements for the console and PC versions of Transport Fever 2 in the coming weeks. Thank you for your support!

Today is the day! We’re thrilled to release the Deluxe Edition for Transport Fever 2 and a free major game update for PC.



The Deluxe Edition contains 3 exclusive handcrafted maps, additional vehicles and more exclusive content. Additionally, players that buy or upgrade to the Deluxe Edition for PC, Mac and Linux from now until Thursday, March 16 will also receive the “Early Supporter Pack” which includes exclusive skins for 5 vehicles.

The free major game update contains new features and improvements introduced with the Console Edition. These include full controller support – also for the Steam Deck – and over 80 reworked vehicle models with a high level of detail. The full release notes can be found here.

We can’t wait to hear your reactions and feedback, and we’re grateful for your continued support as part of our community. Let’s build an incredible transport empire together!

It’s almost time: The release of the Deluxe Edition and the upcoming game update for Transport Fever 2 on 9 March is just around the corner!

In addition to the content of the Standard Edition, the Deluxe Edition will feature 3 exclusive handcrafted maps, more vehicles and other exclusive content. But that’s not all: In the first week after the launch, a bonus for "Early Supporters" of the Deluxe Edition is included with additional repaints for several vehicles.



At the same time, there will be a large free game update that contains many new features and improvements. These include full controller support – also for the Steam Deck – and over 80 remodelled vehicle models with a high level of detail.

For all those who have more questions about the Deluxe Edition and controller support, we have added extended the frequently asked questions section on our website.

We’re looking forward to celebrating the release of the Deluxe Edition and the game update with you, and we’re eager to hear your reactions and feedback. Thank you for being part of our community!

We are thrilled to release a new gameplay video featuring the soon-to-be-available controller support.

Together with Nihat Isik, developer at Urban Games, a transport empire is built on a tropical island and the most important game mechanics are explained. In the video, supply chains emerge to deliver cargo to the cities and a local transport network enables residents to travel across the island.



For the first time, the new user interface optimized for controllers is used, which makes it possible to play Transport Fever 2 while sitting on the couch and relaxing on a large screen. While the video is recorded with the Console Edition, the new interface and controller support will be available to PC players and Steam Deck users with the upcoming game update too.

The game update for PC will be released on 9 March 2023.

Thank you very much for the interest in the game and best regards from the entire Urban Games team.

A multitude of enhancements awaits you on March 9th in the upcoming game update. These have already been presented on the Transport Fever 2 social media channels in recent weeks. For all those who would like to see the improvements at a glance, there is a summary in this news.



Selecting the appropriate vehicles for building your transport empire is a crucial aspect of Transport Fever 2. It is the realistic representation of the vehicles in the game world that really makes it possible to immerse oneself in this beautiful game world. That is why an impressive total of 85 vehicles have been completely redesigned as part of the upcoming free game update.

To improve the overall appearance, even more attention was paid to exact proportions when reworking the vehicles. For some of the vehicles, other originals and new paint schemes were used. The new vehicle models feature enhanced textures that fit much better into the look of the game. We are pleased to fulfill a wish of many players with better rendering of glass and eliminate the unwanted transparency rendering artifacts known as x-ray vision.



To provide the best possible gaming experience, not only vehicles have been improved. A good balance between the different hardware components is key to make it work.

The GPU-based terrain tesselation reduces the load on CPU and memory consumption. Less memory is also needed due to texture streaming, which allows clearing textures of models that are not in view anymore and constantly loading textures at the highest affordable resolution. Furthermore, the size of save games has been significantly reduced. Together with the improved map generation, this leads to noticeably shorter loading times.



To grow the Transport Fever 2 family even further, the range of officially included localizations is extended to 13 languages as part of the game update: Italian, Brazilian Portuguese and Korean will be included in Transport Fever 2. The localizations cover the whole user interface and all the written story texts of the campaign missions.

There is more good news for Steam Deck users: The full controller support will not only be available for PC on March 9th, but for Steam Deck as well!



Many more pictures of the new vehicle models and the differences to the old models are available on our social media channels:

We look forward to sharing more details with you about the upcoming game update on 9 March in the coming week.

With the announcement of the release date, we have embarked on the next stage of our journey together towards the Deluxe Edition and the free major game update for Transport Fever 2 on PC. We are delighted with the countless reactions and feedback to last week’s beta launch.



We look forward to sharing many more glimpses of the new features on our social media channels in the coming weeks, which will of course also be available as part of the big free game update for PC. The preview series starts today with the devblog, which describes the background of the new user interface for the controller controls.

It’s great to see the Transport Fever 2 community continue to grow and the Urban Games team is looking forward to the release on March 9. We hope you enjoy the upcoming news and are looking forward to your feedback.

We are thrilled to announce today the release date of the next major Transport Fever 2 game update and the new Deluxe Edition. These new versions will be released on Thursday, March 9, 2023.

The year is coming to an end and our team is taking a well-deserved break over the turn of the year after the intense and exciting last few months.



We look back on another year full of beautiful and exciting moments. Our major highlight together with you was, of course, the release of the Spring Update. With it, we were able to bring some features into the game that have been wished by the community for a long time. We are very happy about the positive feedback.

In the new year, we come back with new power and prepare for the upcoming highlights: The release of the long-awaited Console Edition is coming soon. At the same time, there are also many improvements for the PC version. As with the last updates, we will again present some of the novelties to you.

The Urban Games team wishes you happy and healthy holidays and a good start to the new year.

Another great year is behind us, thanks to you! We continue to be amazed by the countless creations from the community, whether screenshots, videos or mods.

The journey continues with a new major game update for PC alongside the release of the Transport Fever 2: Console Edition next year.



We are happy to have you on board!
