Speaking of transferring old content, all compatible legacy content from Train Sim World 2 will be “available within 24 hours of the launch of Train Sim World 3 on September 6,” according to Dovetail. On that note, it will delist the core sim once Train Sim World 3 launches. However, its add-ons will be remain on the various storefronts to continue being accessible for purchase and play in the new sim.

Dovetail acknowledges that there are some issues facing the sim ahead of its full launch. On PC, this includes certain things like the Livery Designer missing some locomotives and some of the core routes not having journey chapters.

These are just the issues that the team has identified so far, so it doesn’t rule out the possibility of there potentially being more. Thus, it’s asking Early Access players to reach out to Dovetail Support to make the appropriate reports, should any new bugs arise.
