so get it while you can

Example: If you bought the HHR route for Train Sim World 2, clicking on the "install game" button on Steam for the TSW5 free starter pack (no, you don't have to install it) will automatically give you the TSW5 version of the HHR route with no further steps; if you're on PlayStation, you do need to do the same process for TSW4 first.

Windows only. Sad train noises.

Sad train noises indeed, though I think buying CrossOver would be very useful

It is on my list of things to purchase. But since I do not have a lot of time for games I only purchase those that support macOS. Plus then I do not have to worry about fiddling with the game to get it to work.

Bruh like I'll give em any money

This is about if you’ve given them any money already, you don’t have to give any more

Too expensive for what it is, no £1k or so for the game with all DLC? Bit of a ripoff. Even DCS is cheaper.

Like, I don’t need to have TSW5? It will just put them on my account if I ever do buy it later?

The TSW5 Starter Pack is free to register to your account on Steam, Epic, Microsoft and Sony platforms, available to claim until Oct 17 2024.

  • If you don't have any current or previous TSW addons you will only have access to the tutorial training centre route.
  • If you have compatible content from earlier Train Sim World routes, getting the starter pack will allow you to obtain the TSW5 version of the route and locos as a free DLC.

You don’t even need to buy it, you just get the free TSW5 starter pack

I’ve seen some reviews say the free starter kit is only for a limited time. Dunno if that’s true but this is the first time they’re doing it so I’m not taking chances.
