Official post-launch documentationOfficial source checked 2026-10-13Independent live-build verification: not performed

Is Transport Fever 3 out?

Yes. Urban Games and Steam identify September 29, 2026 as the release date.

What is the latest documented Steam stable build?

40420, released October 8, 2026 for Steam Windows, macOS and Linux.

Is a Preview build currently available?

The current PC release notes say none is available. Historical testing branches are not a current-preview claim.

Is it released on PS5 and Xbox?

Yes, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S are released. Latest documented launch builds are 40397 and 40384 respectively.

Are Intel Macs supported?

No. Official support requires Apple Silicon; Steam lists Apple Silicon-only system requirements.

Does Transport Fever 3 have multiplayer?

Current official material presents a single-player game. The developer says its focus is single-player; a released multiplayer mode is not documented.

How are mods delivered?

An integrated mod.io browser supports the cross-platform mod library; manual downloads remain possible. Individual mod and save compatibility still needs checking.

Does it use Steam Workshop?

The developer explicitly says Steam Workshop is not included, using the integrated mod.io browser instead.

How do I verify my installed version?

Compare the build shown at the bottom right of the main menu with the official release notes for the same store/platform.

Does 40420 apply to every platform?

No. It is confirmed on Steam. Epic/GOG rollout was announced later; no newer numbered build is currently verified here. Console notes remain separate.

Is Park & Ride still an open crash issue?

Official support marked the crash issue fixed by a mod update on October 9, 2026, with possible minor errors remaining. This is not a 40420 game-patch claim.

Does the game have a campaign?

Official support describes eight missions; this does not validate first-hand walkthrough completion.

How many Steam achievements are there?

Steam currently lists 41 achievements. Forty public descriptions are visible; Encounter of the 3rd Kind has no public description in this Steam snapshot. The official manual supplies its own description separately. Unlock strategies and outcomes have not been independently tested.

How many cargo items and industries are documented?

The current free-game manual lists 36 cargo items: 12 Raw Materials, 11 Intermediate Products, 3 Booster Products and 10 End Products. It lists 32 free-game industries. Campaign-specific resources and marketing totals use different scopes.

What changed in 40420?

The Steam release includes town/vehicle HUD FPS consistency, camera and layer rendering, VRAM management, named UI/rendering/catchment/F9 crashes, mod dependency/validator/API fixes, airports and trams, Mission 2 signals and Map Editor Keep Heightmap. These are official changes, not measured performance gains.

What should I do when the game crashes?

Before reporting, record the store/platform, installed build, operating system, hardware, mod versions, affected save and exact reproduction steps. Keep the relevant stdout.txt and crash files before another launch overwrites them. Use a copy of a save for diagnosis and the official support form for unresolved failures; no successful reproduction or guaranteed remedy is claimed here.
