Urban Games will release Transport Fever 3 on Sept. 29, 2026 [1], according to a trailer shown at Gamescom 2026.
The announcement marks a significant expansion for the franchise as it moves beyond the PC market to include current-generation consoles. This transition allows the developer to reach a wider audience of simulation enthusiasts.
The reveal occurred during the Gamescom Opening Night Live event in Cologne, Germany [4]. The game will be available on PC via Steam and Epic, as well as on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S [1].
Transport Fever 3 is the latest entry in a series focused on transportation simulation and city building. The new title introduces a deeper Tycoon Mode and a Campaign Mode based on real-world history, which is a first for the series, WorthPlaying staff said [3].
Industry analysts view the addition of a narrative-driven campaign as a way to attract players who typically prefer structured goals over open-ended sandbox play. The developer aims to provide the "ultimate transport management game," the PCGamesN editorial team said [2].
Players can now pre-order the title across the supported platforms. The game focuses on the mechanics of building and managing complex transport networks, encouraging players to act as transport tycoons [1].
“Transport Fever 3 will launch Sept. 29, 2026.”
The shift to a multi-platform release strategy indicates that the simulation genre is seeing increased demand on consoles. By introducing a history-based campaign mode, Urban Games is diversifying its gameplay loop to compete with broader city-building titles that blend management with storytelling.
