TSW2020 DLCs in TSW2 without having TSW2020

[Krillezockt]

Hello
I only own the TSW 2

Are the TSW 2020 DLCs compatible with TSW2? Without having to buy the TSW2020 game separately

If you own TSW2020 DLC you get a free TSW2 migrated version. I am not sure if you need to own the TSW2020 program. If you don't own it, you can buy these DLC for TSW2 directly. So it does not make much sense to buy the TSW2020 DLC if you not own TSW2020. The exceptions are the NEC, GP40-2 and Amtrak switch. Those DLC are not available for TSW2.


I do not really see the point you want to buy TSW2020 DLC without owning the game, unless something goes wrong in a sale and the discounts are different. So what is the point in your question?

You need to own TSW 2020 itself to get the free TSW DLC copy. We often had the problem that players bought discounted TSW 2020 DLC for TSW 2 even though they don't own TSW 2020.

I can recommend the Digital Deluxe or Collectors Edition of TSW 2020, they are often on sale and worth it just from the routes alone. You don't have to install TSW 2020 itself to get the TSW 2 DLC copies.

FYI: TSW2 is newer (game engine); TSW2020 is older (game engine) ...

Should you desire to play the older (static - i.e. no further updates) game, most of the DLCs for the older game will give you free versions of said DLC for the newer game (i.e. purchase for older game and play in both older and newer game for ONE purchase price).

If you do not already own the older game and will NEVER have a desire to play the older game, then you may purchase (all) the DLCs for the newer (dynamic - i.e. still receiving updates) game; howsoever, should you change your mind and desire to play the older game, after purchasing DLCs for the newer game, then you will need to pay a second time for the older game version of the DLCs that go with the older game.
