Train Simulator Classic 2024 (originally RailWorks and Train Simulator) is a train simulation game developed by Dovetail Games.[1] It is the successor to Rail Simulator, and was released online on 12 June 2009 and in stores on 3 July.[2]
It is a Steamworks title, which means it uses and requires Steam to activate and to deliver core game updates.[3] Steam is used to deliver additional routes and locomotives in the form of paid downloadable content.
The core game has received several updates since release, with the game's title adjusted to coincide with major releases. In 2010, RailWorks became RailWorks 2: Train Simulator and was then followed by RailWorks 3: Train Simulator 2012. The RailWorks branding was dropped with the next major release, titled simply Train Simulator 2013, and this naming convention would continue with yearly releases until Train Simulator 2022. The current version, Train Simulator Classic 2024, was released on 21 May 2024.
