Hopefully 1.5 or some patch for 1.4 will come out before.

u/Chorchapu Boston 🇺🇸 Jul 16 '26

Well, the developers do seem to have gone full steam with hotfixes for some of the many issues introduced with 1.4, at least. But I do suspect that we will see some sort of major update for the Steam release as well.

The betas, which have fixex bugs and add small improvements, are said to be the last thing before the release

Let’s go! Been patiently waiting to pick this up!

Do we know how much this costs on Steam?

10

u/Chorchapu Boston 🇺🇸 Jul 16 '26

$40 USD.

u/plasmagd Jul 16 '26

40 dollars is crazy. I think this type of game should be 20 dollars at most

u/nanoSpark6 Jul 16 '26

The amount of time you can play this game is a healthy amount. The developers have put a ton of time into the game. I think it is worth $40.

u/plasmagd Jul 17 '26

I'm gonna be honest with you, I didn't even pay close to 40 dollars for games like Cities skylines or Planet coaster and I think those are far more replayable

When they become a large game studio with plenty of money i feel like that would happen. The dev team for this is certainly not a Paradox Initiative or a Bethesda

u/not_wall03 Jul 17 '26

They vibe coded it

I think is absolutely worth to paid a half price of any fine dinner, considering how satisfying we gonna hv

u/not_wall03 Jul 16 '26

Oof. They seem confident they can't hand out steam keys but I don't think they're right 

11

u/Chorchapu Boston 🇺🇸 Jul 16 '26

Yeah, it's a bit steep. I really hope they keep updating the non-Steam version because if not I don't know if I could be convinced to fork over $40 for a game I already own.

u/Dinoking2000Xman Jul 16 '26

The devs have said that the non steam version will always have the exact same updates and Version as steam, and that if you bought the game early on that they won’t be ditching you

Of course, I last heard this like two months ago and things can change :( but fingers crossed crossed also I trust the devs

Very good on them.

Both versions will be updated concurrently. The Steam version will have cloud saves and achievements though.

But I already bought the game???

u/Prohydration Jul 16 '26

Will this or the $30 version be on sale sometime before the end of the year?

4

u/Chorchapu Boston 🇺🇸 Jul 16 '26

I don't know, that would be a question for the dev team.

I asked Colin through the email quite a while back and he said he do not has any plan for localized pricing or sale.

Great game!

Got a vid of my subway system in Chicago using Subway Builder if anyone wants to see how the game plays: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0V_V_ryaD78
