We are thrilled to release a new gameplay video featuring the soon-to-be-available controller support.

Together with Nihat Isik, developer at Urban Games, a transport empire is built on a tropical island and the most important game mechanics are explained. In the video, supply chains emerge to deliver cargo to the cities and a local transport network enables residents to travel across the island.

For the first time, the new user interface optimized for controllers is used, which makes it possible to play Transport Fever 2 while sitting on the couch and relaxing on a large screen. While the video is recorded with the Console Edition, the new interface and controller support will be available to PC players and Steam Deck users with the upcoming game update too.

The game update for PC will be released on 9 March 2023.

Thank you very much for the interest in the game and best regards from the entire Urban Games team.

A multitude of enhancements awaits you on March 9th in the upcoming game update. These have already been presented on the Transport Fever 2 social media channels in recent weeks. For all those who would like to see the improvements at a glance, there is a summary in this news.



Selecting the appropriate vehicles for building your transport empire is a crucial aspect of Transport Fever 2. It is the realistic representation of the vehicles in the game world that really makes it possible to immerse oneself in this beautiful game world. That is why an impressive total of 85 vehicles have been completely redesigned as part of the upcoming free game update.

To improve the overall appearance, even more attention was paid to exact proportions when reworking the vehicles. For some of the vehicles, other originals and new paint schemes were used. The new vehicle models feature enhanced textures that fit much better into the look of the game. We are pleased to fulfill a wish of many players with better rendering of glass and eliminate the unwanted transparency rendering artifacts known as x-ray vision.



To provide the best possible gaming experience, not only vehicles have been improved. A good balance between the different hardware components is key to make it work.

The GPU-based terrain tesselation reduces the load on CPU and memory consumption. Less memory is also needed due to texture streaming, which allows clearing textures of models that are not in view anymore and constantly loading textures at the highest affordable resolution. Furthermore, the size of save games has been significantly reduced. Together with the improved map generation, this leads to noticeably shorter loading times.



To grow the Transport Fever 2 family even further, the range of officially included localizations is extended to 13 languages as part of the game update: Italian, Brazilian Portuguese and Korean will be included in Transport Fever 2. The localizations cover the whole user interface and all the written story texts of the campaign missions.

There is more good news for Steam Deck users: The full controller support will not only be available for PC on March 9th, but for Steam Deck as well!



Many more pictures of the new vehicle models and the differences to the old models are available on our social media channels:

With the announcement of the release date, we have embarked on the next stage of our journey together towards the Deluxe Edition and the free major game update for Transport Fever 2 on PC. We are delighted with the countless reactions and feedback to last week’s beta launch.



We look forward to sharing many more glimpses of the new features on our social media channels in the coming weeks, which will of course also be available as part of the big free game update for PC. The preview series starts today with the devblog, which describes the background of the new user interface for the controller controls.

It’s great to see the Transport Fever 2 community continue to grow and the Urban Games team is looking forward to the release on March 9. We hope you enjoy the upcoming news and are looking forward to your feedback.
