Platform Comparison
While we strive to provide a comparable experience across platforms, some differences may occur due to the performance or memory limitations on specific platforms. This section details what you can expect, depending on where you are playing.
PS5, Xbox Series X & PC
You will get the complete experience.
Xbox Series S
Will not feature any additional service layers, or services for the BR 111
PS4 & Xbox One
After reviewing performance, we've amended the timetable to provide a suitable experience for those on Xbox One and PlayStation 4. This timetable will not feature any additional service layers, or any services for the DB BR 111.
The DB BR 111 will still be included in the Add-on and will be available to operate by being spawned into the timetable / Free Roam.
Timetable Layers
Timetable Layers will allow you to drive locomotives from other routes/add-ons in timetable mode. They may require you to own the complete set of compatible add-ons before layers are activated. The exception being where an add-on states it has timetable support for this route in the product description. The following information is confirmed for 9th generation consoles and PC, but there may be some small variances for players on 8th generation consoles.
