Train Sim World 6: Hauptstrecke München to
Augsburg

Train Sim World 6: Hauptstrecke München – Augsburg is a route add-on DLC developed and published by Dovetail Games. It was released on August 26, 2025, and is designed as a content expansion for the base TSW6 game—it is not a stand-alone product. As expected for DLC, it doesn’t have separate ports; it functions within the platforms already supported by TSW6. The add-on continues Dovetail’s model of expanding route offerings across its simulation franchise.

The DLC recreates the busy main line connecting Munich’s central hub (München Hbf) and Augsburg Hbf, a real-world railway corridor in Bavaria known for its mix of commuter and intercity traffic. In this add-on, players can operate the DB BR 403 ICE 3 high-speed service, along with the BR 423 commuter EMU in S-Bahn mode, reflecting the dual nature of the line. The route is modeled to accommodate high speeds—up to around 230 km/h on certain segments—while also managing frequent stops. The DLC includes multiple scenarios, accessible training modules, a full timetable, and compatibility with TSW6’s existing tools like Scenario Planner and Livery Designer. Because the route previously existed in earlier versions of Train Sim World, this incarnation sometimes notes that features may be unchanged from its prior release and might not make use of all newer engine features.

When promoting the München – Augsburg route in its TSW6 incarnation, Dovetail emphasised its appeal as a balanced addition to the roster: a route that blends high-speed and commuter-style operation, allowing players to test different driving styles in one corridor. The marketing materials called attention to the two train types, the authenticity of performance and sound modeling for the locomotives, and how the line complements the existing environment in TSW6. It was presented as part of a strategic content rollout aimed at sustaining interest in the platform by offering varied route types and geographic breadth.

Reception for this DLC draws on its heritage in earlier Train Sim World iterations as well as impressions from its re-release under TSW6. In earlier versions, many longtime players praised the route for its detail, scenic fidelity, and the satisfaction of running both ICE and S-Bahn services along the same corridor. Some forum posts call it “feature complete and compelling,” citing its high level of immersion and environmental detail. However, others (especially in its newer form) raise concerns: some feel that the route can feel sparse in traffic at times, or that pacing and interface polish don’t always match expectations. Given that user reviews had not yet accrued at launch in its TSW6 version, its reception is still developing, but the blend of appreciation for its legacy and cautious critique of modern expectations gives it a mixed but hopeful standing among the community.
