Happy Holidays from the Transport Fever 2 Family
As this year draws to a close, we are settling down a little and looking back on an eventful year with many highlights:
We started this year by releasing the Console Edition and a free update for everyone. At the same time, the Deluxe Upgrade, the first expansion for Transport Fever 2, was released. From what we have read and heard, you seem to have just as much fun playing with the additional content as we had creating it.
In the summer, we had a second highlight, which was entirely thanks to you: Transport Fever 2 now has more than one million players across the globe! This is a significant achievement for us, and we are deeply grateful for your continued support and enthusiasm. Making games is great, but making games for a community like ours makes it even more fulfilling. Besides this great news, Urban Games also celebrated its 10th anniversary this year. Neither of both would have been possible without you!
As already announced in our last post, this was not the last year of Transport Fever 2. We will release one more game update next year. More information about this will follow during the next few months.
The entire team at Urban Games wishes you beautiful and healthy holidays and a happy new year!
Looking into the future of Transport Fever 2
As we approach the 4th anniversary of Transport Fever 2, we would like to give an outlook into what lies ahead.
We are currently exploring the possibility of giving players on PS5, Xbox Series and on the Mac App Store, EGS, and GOG access to mod content. We plan to combine this with various other improvements in a major game update for PC and console platforms scheduled for the second half of 2024.
Transparency is important to us: the introduction of cross-platform content is a complex undertaking that can present unforeseen challenges. We are optimistic and committed to delivering the best possible experience for you. Today, we can already assure you that the well-used Steam Workshop for Transport Fever 2 will be unaffected by these developments.
In the meantime, you can expect more minor maintenance fixes to enhance your current gaming experience, with the first maintenance update already going to beta in December. Beyond routine maintenance, the mentioned game update in the second half of 2024 marks what we anticipate to be the concluding major update for Transport Fever 2. With this update, we want to express our sincere gratitude to the community for your ongoing interest and dedication.
Following this final milestone for Transport Fever 2, we have something new and great in the pipeline. It is still far too early, but we are already looking forward to telling you more about it.
Best wishes from the entire Urban Games team.

Successful launch of the Console Edition and record number of players on PC
We would like to say a big thank you to our community! The launch of the Console Edition of Transport Fever 2 was successful 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.
The Deluxe Edition has also been successfully released on the PC, 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.
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!
