News: Xbox One is getting a new Train simulator game where you can ride the rails as a passenger or as a driver and experience the lifestyle.

Train Sim World Founders Edition is going to arrive exclusively on the Xbox One beginning on March 9, 2018 according to Dovetail Games. Train Sim World Founders Edition is a first-person train simulator that delivers the experience of being a train driver on your Xbox One. Designed to provide the perfect introduction to Train Sim World for Xbox One players and fully optimized for performance and playability, Train Sim World Founders Edition enables you to quickly progress from learning the basics in accessible tutorials to confidently using the fully functioning cab controls without any assistance.

Powered by Unreal Engine 4 and Dovetail Games’ proprietary SimuGraph vehicle dynamics engine, Train Sim World uses real-world data to accurately replicate the performance, sound and feel of real trains. Players can truly feel the detail as they explore the world and interact with the trains. Featuring distinctly different types of locomotives, Train Sim World Founders Edition allows complete interactivity in the cab via an intuitive interface designed for the Xbox controller.

Experience a full day-in-the-life in Service Mode, which features a timetable based on real-world activities. Hop on and off a range of services as they carry out their duties, and choose to be either a driver or a passenger. With a timetable to keep and passengers to transport on time, your skill, focus and endurance will be tested to the limit!

Rob O’Farrell, SVP, Development at Dovetail Games, said, "Train Sim World Founders Edition is the perfect fit for Xbox One. We wanted to ensure that we struck the right balance between accessibility and authenticity so the player gets an experience that on one hand feels intuitive and on the other hand feels challenging and rewarding. We’re excited to be delivering a true simulation experience on the Xbox One, and we can’t wait to see what people do with it."

Chris Charla, Director of ID@Xbox at Microsoft, said, "We are excited to continue our great relationship with Dovetail Games and to help enable them to deliver new and differentiated experiences to Xbox One gamers. Train Sim World Founders Edition is a wonderful point for simulation gaming, and we’re super excited to have it on Xbox One!"
