Your First Empire
Transport Fever 3 is the 2026 transport simulation from Urban Games: roads, rails, ships and aircraft moving passengers and cargo across a living economy from 1900 into the 2030s. It released September 29, 2026 on Steam, Epic and GOG for Windows, macOS and Linux, and on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. There is no multiplayer — everything here is your own single-player empire, supported by an in-game mod.io browser that works on every platform. This site exists for one job: turning launch-week community knowledge and official documentation into pages you can act on.
