The new 2025 & 2026 Roadmap for City Transport Simulator!
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!
New Collectibles in Tramau
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.
New Control Options and Improvements
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.
A Small Year-End Surprise
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.
2026: The Year of Weather – and More Realism
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
