Train Sim World has been a staple of the train simulation genre for a while now, boasting realistic and immersive train driving for the railroad enthusiast – and if that's you, you'll be pleased to know that the seventh iteration is out now on Steam.

Train Sim World 7 improves on all its previous iterations, with many reviews praising its top-of-the-line simulation mechanics and the massive graphical leap from the previous game.

It includes the all-new Florida Tri-rail, Airedale and Wharfedale, and the Nurnberg-Würzburg routes that all look stunning with the new graphical improvements. There are, however, some things locked behind paywalls and different versions of the game, such as certain locomotives.

Due to how confusing this could be, here is a list of what you can expect to be in each of the versions of the game:

Free Edition (Free, unsurprisingly)

  • Training Centre

Standard Edition (£44.99)

While you are enjoying your time on your new locomotives from any of the four editions, "Live Weather" will beat down on you as you surf the rails. Powered by real-time location data, the weather changes to match what's happening in the real world at that place and time, adding an extra layer of immersion to your journey.

After you have got a feel for driving your new train through the sometimes harsh weather, you can choose to customise it to your liking, adding decals and changing the colour of certain parts alongside the formation designer to create a train that is truly unique to you.

Whether you have been a Train Sim expert for a while, or just getting started, Train Sim World 7 seems like the perfect place to continue or start your journey on the rails, and if you would like to learn even more than I have said here today (trust me, there is a lot more), check out the Steam page for Train Sim World 7.
