With our new roadmap, we want to give you a detailed look at what we’re currently working on, what’s still coming later this year – and what’s planned for 2026.

We’re continuing several points from the previous July roadmap, but there are also plenty of brand-new features we’re revealing for the first time today. From new collectibles and expanded control options to major features like dynamic weather, temperature management, and ticket sales – City Transport Simulator is evolving, and that’s all thanks to your feedback!

Many of you have been wondering about the mysterious new collectibles we teased in the previous roadmap. Now we can finally reveal them: there are two completely new types you’ll soon be able to find in Tramau!

The Mug Collection
Our new collectibles are beautifully designed mugs celebrating public transport in different cities. Each design is unique, featuring the characteristic vehicles and style of well-known cities such as Vienna, Berlin, Munich, Basel, and of course, Tramau.

But the mugs aren’t just decorative: each one includes a small story about the history of public transport in its respective city.
Just like the previous collectibles, you’ll find these mugs in familiar vending machines scattered across the city – usually near bus stops or other major hubs.

New Bus Keychains
The popular keychains are also making a comeback – this time as bus keychains! After the tram keychains from Early Access became fan favorites, we’re expanding the collection with six new bus keychains.

They’re once again hidden throughout Tramau, waiting to be discovered. And who knows – maybe one of them even hints at which bus model will join City Transport Simulator next.

2025 will not only bring new collectibles but also several of the most requested improvements for controls and gameplay.

• 🕹️ Tram Crank Controller Support
  We’re introducing an entirely new way to drive trams using a crank controller setup via gamepad, allowing for even more precise control.
  
  
• 🎮 Expanded Controller Mapping
  We know how important it is to fine-tune your controls to match your driving style. You’ll soon be able to remap even more functions – for example, assigning the parking brake to your preferred button.
  
  
• ⚙️ Force Feedback for Xbox Wheels
  PlayStation players already enjoy realistic force feedback, and now Xbox drivers are next! We’re currently implementing full support so you can customize the strength and feel through the same gameplay settings sliders available on PC and PlayStation.

2025 isn’t over yet, and we’ve got a few surprises in store! Just before Christmas, we’ll reveal another special feature – something a few of you might already have guessed if you’ve been keeping an eye on our Discord or the Steam forums.

If 2025 brings a lot of new things, 2026 will open a whole new chapter. The roadmap for next year focuses on dynamic weather, deeper simulation systems, and brand-new gameplay features.

Dynamic Weather
Rain, snow, fog, sunshine, and wind – all of these will soon become part of daily life in City Transport Simulator. The new weather system won’t just change how the city looks and feels but will also directly affect vehicle handling.

Just like in real life, driving physics will adapt to the conditions. The city will also respond dynamically to the weather: passengers will wear jackets or carry umbrellas, and the entire atmosphere of Tramau will shift with the environment.

With weather comes a new challenge: temperature control.
All buses and trams will receive functional heating, air conditioning, and windows.

It’ll be up to you to keep the temperature inside comfortable – otherwise, passengers will start to complain!
This feature adds more depth to your daily operations, making you manage passenger comfort like a real driver.

A long-requested feature will finally become reality: ticket sales!

All buses will feature ticket machines that allow you to sell tickets, give change, and manage passenger flow. Ticket sales will be a core part of bus operations, adding a new layer of responsibility and interactivity.

We’re currently implementing multiple systems to support it, and we’ll share more details in early 2026 when we’re ready to show the feature in detail.

Of course, no roadmap would be complete without new vehicles!
One major highlight is the Tatra KT4D, developed in collaboration with SVF Frankfurt (Oder). This iconic tram, featuring acceleration control and pedal operation, brings a unique driving experience to City Transport Simulator.

We conducted extensive research over the summer and are already actively working on its implementation. Thanks to our close partnership with SVF, we can bring many authentic details into the game.

In addition to the KT4D, another new bus is in development – one many of you have been asking for. We’ll reveal more as development progresses.

One of the biggest highlights of 2026 is the Vienna Add-On!
We’re bringing Austria’s capital to City Transport Simulator with an all-new internal system for creating maps. This allows for even greater accuracy and realism in buildings, streets, and traffic structures than ever before!

We’ll be recreating real Vienna tram and bus lines with authentic routes, architecture, and traffic systems. Fans of TramSim will be happy to see a familiar city return – only better and bigger than before!

We’re not ready to reveal which lines will be included just yet, but if you’ve been paying close attention to our teaser in June, you might already have a guess.

Even beyond 2026, the City Transport Simulator franchise will continue to grow. Our new roadmap already includes several points we can’t discuss in detail yet – but we can confirm that some are already in development, while others are in planning.

You can look forward to new vehicles, deeper gameplay systems, and a richer Vienna experience, making City Transport Simulator an even more comprehensive transport simulation.

City Transport Simulator thrives on your feedback, ideas, and passion for public transport. Thank you for your ongoing support – we can’t wait to start this next chapter together with you!
