Transport Fever 3

 
Transport Fever 3 comes from developer Urban Games and publisher Paradox Interactive. The game released on September 29, 2026 for PC, Mac, Linux, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Players then build a transport company that grows from horse-drawn wagons to jets across more than 125 years of history.

About the Game
Transport Fever 3 puts players in charge of a transport empire. First, players lay roads, rails, sea lanes, and air routes between towns and industries. Then vehicles carry passengers and cargo along those links. Every delivery earns money, but each vehicle and each section of track adds upkeep. As a result, a line that runs half empty loses cash, so routes need constant tuning. Meanwhile, towns grow around the network because citizens follow the routes that serve them.
Besides tycoon and sandbox play, the campaign draws its missions from real moments in transport history. Tycoon mode adds adjustable difficulty, while sandbox mode removes the money pressure so players can build freely. Additionally, a day-night cycle and dynamic weather change how each map looks over time. Because delivery times matter, fresh food needs faster service than loose stone. Overall, the game rewards patient planning over quick reactions.

Key Features

A Century of Vehicles: Because the timeline spans more than 125 years, vehicles range from horse-drawn wagons to high-speed trains. Steam locomotives and jets therefore share the same world in later eras. Helicopters and cargo trams join the series for the first time.
A Living World: First, every citizen has a home, a job, and places to go. Towns also grow into districts based on where people actually travel.
Deeper Cargo Handling: Warehouses store goods between the legs of a trip, so cargo can wait for the next vehicle. Furthermore, specialized terminals let players control how vehicles load and unload.
Four Climate Zones: Temperate, desert, tropical, and subarctic regions each bring their own terrain, so no two regions look alike. In addition, offshore industries such as oil platforms and fishing grounds open new cargo routes.
