The release will take place at 14:00 (CET).  <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Q: On which platforms can I play The Bus?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>A: The Bus will be officially launched on March 26, 2026 for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Q: Where can I pre-order and buy The Bus now?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>A: The Bus is already available on PC via Steam. You can already pre-order on consoles: On PlayStation 5 currently via <a href=\"steam:\/\/openurl_external\/https:\/\/steamcommunity.com\/linkfilter\/?u=https%3A%2F%2Famzn.eu%2Fd%2F0aE6ziVK\">Amazon<\/a>, on Xbox Series X|S directly in the <a href=\"steam:\/\/openurl_external\/https:\/\/steamcommunity.com\/linkfilter\/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.xbox.com%2Fde-DE%2Fgames%2Fstore%2Fthe-bus%2F9pj4vb2lml1q\">Xbox Store<\/a>. There will be no digital pre-order for PlayStation 5, but the digital version will be available in the <a href=\"steam:\/\/openurl_external\/https:\/\/steamcommunity.com\/linkfilter\/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstore.playstation.com%2Fde-de%2Fconcept%2F10016957%2F\">PlayStation Store<\/a> from the release.  <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Q: As an Early Access player, do I have to buy The Bus again?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>A: No, not on PC. If you already own The Bus in Early Access on PC, you will automatically get access to the release version without having to pay extra.<br\/>However, if you want to play The Bus on PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S, you will have to buy the console version separately, as they are different platforms. <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Q: Can I continue to use my previous score?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>A: Not necessarily. Many systems and processes have been revised since Early Access. As a result, it can happen that older savegames no longer work after the release. If this is the case for you, you will need to create a new savegame. For the best experience, we generally recommend a fresh start at release.    <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Q: Will there be multiplayer?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>A: Yes, on the PC. You can drive through Berlin together and explore the city as a group. Multiplayer is not available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.  <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Q: Is modding supported?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>A: Yes, on PC. You can create your own content or download it via the workshop, for example paint jobs or map content. Modding is currently not supported on consoles.  <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Q: Is the content different between PC and console?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>A: Basically not. The game content is the same on all platforms. However, certain features, including multiplayer and modding, are only available on PC.  <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Q: Will there be further development after the release?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>A: Yes. Even after the launch, The Bus will continue to be expanded and regularly updated. Feedback from the community will continue to be incorporated into the development process.  <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Q: When will the final PC system requirements be released?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>A: We will publish the final system requirements on the Steam page of The Bus shortly before release. There you will also find guidelines for recommended hardware. <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Q: Which buses are included in the release?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>A: All buses that are currently available in The Bus are included in the release.<\/p>\n\n<p>The following models are in the game:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>MAN Lion&#8217;s City DD<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Scania Citywide LF: 11M 2D, 11M 3D, 12M 2D, 12M 3D, 18M 3D, 18M 4D<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>VDL Citea LLE: 120 2D, 120 3D, 127 2D, 127 3D, 99<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>MB eCitybus: 12M 2D, 12M 3D, 18M 3D, 18M 4D<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Galaxis Urban: 12M 2D, 12M 3D, 18M 3D, 18M 4D<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><strong>Q: Which Berlin lines are included in the release?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>A: Again, all lines currently available in The Bus are included in the release.<\/p>\n\n<p>The game includes the following lines with their respective route variants: TXL, 100, N100, 123, 142, 147, 200, 245 and 300.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Q: Is the Hamburg City DLC also coming to consoles?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>A: Yes. The Hamburg City DLC will also be released for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S and will be fully playable there. However, it will not be available directly on March 26, 2026, but will be released shortly afterwards.  <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Q: Do I have to buy the Hamburg City DLC again if I want to play it on console but already own it on PC?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>A: Yes. If you want to play the Hamburg City DLC on a different platform, a new purchase is required as these are different platforms and store systems. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We have summarized the most important questions and answers about the upcoming release of The Bus for you: Q: When is the release of The Bus?
