Should you have browsed the Steam pages in the last couple of years, especially the simulation sub-section, you would probably have stumbled upon Transport Fever 2. It’s a game that has delighted the PC brigade for a few years, gathering up a ton of acclaim. Now that game comes to Xbox and PlayStation with Transport Fever 2: Console Edition.
Transport Fever 2: Console Edition arrives to Xbox and PlayStation stops thanks to the NACON and Urban Games teams, as they take what worked for PC and throw it out to console – optimised. That means you’ll be given the chance to build like never before, creating your own empire, working through the history of transport and ensuring that your town is the greatest it could possibly be.
As complex as you wish to make it, Transport Fever 2: Console Edition should be simple enough to grasp on console, mostly thanks to the teams behind it offering up a new interface and control scheme that has been optimised for console platforms. Expect to be treated to improved visuals too, and fully redesigned vehicles as well (some 200 odd of these!).
Whether you’ve played previously on PC or are coming in green to the genre on console, the opportunity to get creating like we have been doing for years in the likes of Cities: Skylines, is possibly too big a deal to ignore, especially when the key features for Transport Fever 2: Console Edition sit as…
