SubwaySim Hamburg News

For almost 7 years, we have been dedicated to developing exciting and technically accurate simulation games. During this time, we have celebrated some incredible milestones and we have grown in many ways.

We are very pleased to announce that we are now incorporating our passion for excellent simulators into our name. From now on, HR Innoways will be known as Simuverse Interactive.



Starting today, we will release all our games under this new name, and our existing products will gradually be rebranded to reflect the new brand.

Despite this change, the same team remains behind the company, and our mission to create top-notch simulation games also remains unchanged.

This brings us to the next question many of you have been asking:

When is the next update coming?

Don't worry, we are still working on the next update in the background. However, some functions have a significant impact on the game logic (especially the new timetable layer that comes with the announced construction site). Therefore, we have to ask for a bit more patience – as mentioned before, we are working on it in the background.

In the somewhat distant future, the AL1 will also be coming, and who knows what else might follow ;)

Cheers to a promising future!

We would like to thank you all for the exciting weeks since the release of the MEGA update. Your positive feedback has motivated us to continue developing the product, and today we have some news to share!



In the near future, the next update will be released. With this update, we will introduce the U3 line closure between Kellinghusenstraße and Barmbek into the game. This way, you can experience the operation as it currently is in Hamburg.

Furthermore, there are several other improvements based on your feedback, including an updated vehicle physics system that is now much closer to the original. We have also fixed some bugs in the game.

On the roadmap, you can see our plans for SubwaySim Hamburg for the coming months. Next up is the battery locomotive AL1 - more information about this will be available soon. And who knows what else the future might bring?

We look forward to an exciting time with you!

In celebration of our anniversary, we proudly unveil the SubwaySim MEGA Update for all SubwaySim players, and thereby festively end the MEGA update's publicbeta phase!

The MEGA Update introduces the highly anticipated Scenario Mode, which comes with 6 captivating missions, along with the addition of the DT5.1 as a new vehicle for the HOCHBAHN's fleet.
With dozens of new features as well as massive bugfixes and improvement, we celebrate SubwaySim Hamburg's first birthday at the highest level!

More than 70 % of the game's source code was rewritten from scratch to facilitate this update. However, this huge milestone wouldn't have been possible without your invaluable feedback and the valuable input of our beta testers. Thank you for your support on this challenging, but exciting journey!

Today we can finally tell you the release date of the upcoming MEGA UPDATE of SubwaySim Hamburg.



🥳The update will be fully released on May 16th, the one-year anniversary, and will bring a lot of new features and improvements. What are you most looking forward to?

Today we finally have the next update for you in the public beta! In today's MEGA Update v4, we are finalising many things that we have been working on in the background and that we really wanted to add to the MEGA update during the beta phase.
