Players can pick up the base game for £17.49/€21.99/$21.99 or grab the Supporter’s Pack for £21.98/€26.98/$26.98, the latter of which includes the game and a digital version of its jaunty original soundtrack.

Following a successful beta earlier in the year, Ernestas Norvaišas, the game’s solo developer, has worked closely with the community, implementing feedback, features, and quality of life improvements all the way up to early access launch. Ernestas is now thrilled to welcome PC strategy fans and locomotive enthusiasts to the game’s intricate, train-powered world. 

Ernestas Norvaišas, solo developer, Sweet Transit, said:  
“It’s only been a year and a half since I started as a solo developer, working full time on a game that I love. I’m excited by today’s early access launch as it means I can finally share Sweet Transit with the world. While it feels like a huge milestone, it is far from the end of the journey, and I look forward to continuing to work closely with the community and Team17 to build on my vision for Sweet Transit and make it a go-to for strategy fans and train enthusiasts.”
