Train Sim World 6

“Amazing graphics, okay performance even for my potato PC and overall good quality.”

“Performance is also noticeably better, making long sessions feel smooth and stable.”

“+ Stability and performance are noticeably better for me.”

“All of the routes feel alive, the level of detail is astonishingly high, the game is well-optimized, the sounds are loud, appropriate, and bold (as they right well should be), and the game is fun.”

“The scenarios are okay/nice and I enjoyed driving, I had no performance issues.”

“Runs great on Linux with Proton. Thanks for adding this to the Yogscast Jingle Jam charity collection <3”

“With the right INI and Nvidia control panel settings, the game runs way smoother. On my Gigabyte 3060 with 12GB VRAM, i7 11770k, and 64GB DDR4 Fury sticks, it runs great. I also livestream and upload with the game all the time via my YouTube channel. While streaming, performance dips slightly and there are occasional micro-stutters, but nothing like before. The game sometimes crashes to desktop due to high detail loading, but DTG is known for that.”

“Rather than reinventing the formula, it builds upon the foundation established in previous entries, refining features, introducing new mechanics like random train faults and station announcements, and delivering a fresh set of routes that take players across some of the world’s most iconic rail networks. Each route comes with its own locomotives, services, and challenges, offering a diverse mix of gameplay that keeps the experience fresh. From a gameplay perspective, Train Sim World 6 walks a careful line between accessibility and authenticity. Learning to read the signals, managing speed limits, controlling braking systems, and dealing with random mechanical faults all require patience and concentration. The addition of minor systems such as random faults and environmental effects brings an organic unpredictability to an experience that could otherwise feel mechanical. There is a meditative quality to its gameplay—an almost therapeutic rhythm in following procedures, monitoring signals, and hearing the steady hum of the tracks beneath your wheels.”

“I have learnt so much more about trains globally by driving them here, learning the mechanics though not exactly as they are in real life (it just can't be on a simulation), it hits the spot as a railfan and enthusiast - the dream to manoeuvre trains in general!”

“Dovetail Games really takes their time to provide high quality work and it shows in every minute of gameplay.”

“It's a good sim. Most of the complaints are about some monetization; wait for a sale for routes you don't want that badly and enjoy the others.”

“It's honestly too complex for him, so he plays the Thomas and Friends add-on, which is simple enough for him to grasp, has an interesting story, and is challenging enough for him to continue to play for a few years until he's developed the skills to move into the rest of the game.”

“Despite some technical blemishes and the familiar Dovetail pricing model, Train Sim World 6 continues to uphold the series’ reputation as the gold standard for digital train operations—a world where every journey tells its own story, one mile of track at a time.”

“Every train is different and may have different ways to use their personal functions to properly complete missions.”

“The graphics received a huge upgrade — lighting, weather, and environmental details look stunning and add a real sense of atmosphere.”

“The scenery, detail, and atmosphere really bring it to life in a way that makes every run feel immersive.”

“Announcements are really well done and add a ton of atmosphere.”

“Going round bends at 125 mph on sections where the speed limit is 75 mph is very funny.”

“Bought a special edition, loaded in, formed a route just to get stuck in a pattern of red signals 10 minutes from the start; you devs can't get more hilarious than that.”

“Even Discord's rich presence still sees it as TSW4, which is funny, and the in-game files are still based on "ts2-prototype".”

“For railway enthusiasts, it’s another step toward the definitive train simulation experience—complex, immersive, and endlessly replayable.”

“Lots of replayability.”

“Morristown is a top tier US route, super fun and offers lots of replayability.”

“Soundtrack: 10/10”

“The new music is nice and I like the color orange.”

“Just a reminder that there's epic menu music, makes it feel new.”
