Happy Holidays and a great 2023 from the Transport Fever 2 Family
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. These include the new features as well as countless reworked vehicle models with improved levels of detail.
The Urban Games team wishes you happy and healthy holidays and a good start to the new year.
Console Edition and new major game update
We are very excited to announce Transport Fever 2: Console Edition as well as a new major game update for PC.
With NACON we have found the ideal partner to publish Transport Fever 2 on consoles and bring the world of our transport simulation to console players. This new version will offer specific controls and an interface adapted to the game on consoles. On top of that, the game’s graphics have been improved thanks to a complete rework of most vehicles such as trains, buses, aircraft and ships.
Transport Fever 2: Console Edition will be available on PlayStation®4, PlayStation®5, Xbox One and Xbox Series in February 2023.
At the same time we will be releasing a free major game update for PC that will bring the enhancements of the Console Edition to PC as well:
- Better graphics: Vehicles are modelled in even more detail and the rendering has been optimized.
- Increased stability and performance: Many optimizations in the area of simulation performance, memory usage, loading times and more.
- Console interface and controller support: PC players have the possibility to switch between the classic and the new interface which is optimized for controllers.
- Many other small enhancements and bug fixes.
We are excited to welcome the console community soon and we remain committed to improve Transport Fever 2 further on all platforms. Thanks for your interest and all the best from the entire Urban Games team!
Full steam ahead
The team is grateful for all the feedback and comments players shared in the past few weeks after the release of the “Spring Update”. We truly want to make the best out of the game and of course the Transport Fever 2 adventure keeps going on. We are very excited to share our next steps with you.
After the gameplay related “Spring Update”, in the following months our developers will focus on major optimizations for the whole game to get the best performance out of your computers. This covers various aspects ranging from shorter loading times for save games to a noticeable improved simulation performance. The memory usage will be more efficient as well, resulting in less used memory while running the game.
Our continuously growing team has a full agenda and we look forward to continuing the journey with you in a promising year for Transport Fever 2.
