Happy Holidays from the Transport Fever 2 Family
What an incredible year 2024 has been! The introduction of the highly anticipated cross-platform mod support with this year’s Autumn Update has brought the amazing community closer together than ever before. To top it off, we celebrated the highest number of concurrent players since release five years ago. Seeing your continued love for Transport Fever 2 after all this time fills us with an immense amount of joy.
To thank you for this year we wanted to do something truly special—something we’ve never done before. As visible in the frosty image above, our incredible art team has created the beautiful “Holiday Train”, now available as a free download exclusively on mod.io for PC and all current-gen consoles.
But that’s not all: you’ll also find a small surprise waiting in your game library — a brand-new maintenance patch for Transport Fever 2, addressing the most reported issues of the past few months (consoles are slightly delayed due to console manufacturer’s holidays).
And wait… there’s one more thing! Remember that something new and great we teased in our last post? While we can’t share the exact date just yet, we can tell you this: the day of the big announcement is closer to this Holiday post than it is to the one in 2025…
From everyone here at Urban Games, we hope you enjoy a wonderful Holiday Season with your loved ones and join us in looking forward to an exciting and unforgettable 2025.
Festive greetings from Schaffhausen
The whole Urban Games Team

Preview of the Autumn Update
Transport Fever 2 is gearing up for its last major update this Autumn, packed with exciting new features to enhance your transport empire.
The highlight? Cross-platform mod support is here!

Whether you’re tweaking trains or reimagining roadways, finding and using your favorite mods has never been easier. Plus, sharing save games and custom maps across platforms is now a breeze.

Transport Fever 2 gets cross-platform mod support
This autumn, the upcoming game update will bring many great new features for PC and console players. In addition to the expanded modding support, there are many other improvements to make building easier and even more fun in the future.
The most prominent feature of the Autumn Update is the new, fully integrated mod browser, which is available to all players on Steam, GOG, Epic Games Store, Mac AppStore, PlayStation® 5 and Xbox Series X|S. With the mod browser, it is possible to browse through the extensive range of mods from the community directly in the game, subscribe to your favorites and then use them in the game. In order for non-Steam players to also benefit from the mod browser, the browser not only supports the Steam-exclusive workshop, but also the mod.io platform from the creators of ModDB. This collaboration allows us to fulfill the most common wish of console players.
To make modding easier, the modding tools will also receive useful additions with the upcoming Autumn Update. We are already supporting dedicated modders in transferring their content to the new platform and, if possible, preparing it for the console version. Interested modders can contact us if they want to make their mods available to all players.
In addition to mod support, improved road traffic is a key feature. Thanks to the revised simulation, cars will be better distributed on multi-lane roads and bypasses, instead of having to queue through the middle of the city. To make it easier to build these roads, the construction tools will be improved. For example, it will be possible to select existing bridges and tunnels and change their type after they were built, stations and depots will automatically align themselves with the road and when placing roads and tracks, help lines will support you in building exact angles.
After five years of active development with numerous free updates, the Autumn Update will be the last major update for Transport Fever 2. After that there is something new and great in the pipeline.
