Grazer Flexity Tram Arrives in City Transport Simulator 2026

Graz trams will arrive in the virtual world on Dec. 1 when the new Flexity model joins the “City Transport Simulator 2026,” according to announcements on social networks.

The Austrian development studio ViewApp and NPLAY Games built the expansion, following a major update featuring Vienna routes and vehicles released on Oct. 13. Over 100,000 players have downloaded the simulation worldwide. Der Grazer reported that development of the Graz vehicle took roughly half a year.

“Weil die Flexity Graz ein ganz neues Fahrzeug ist, das in der Realität entwickelt und umgesetzt wurde, hatten wir sie schon frühzeitig am Schirm,” the developers said.

Following its real-world introduction earlier this year, the studio prioritized building the digital model so the community could access it by the end of the year. The Flexity will be available as downloadable content and can run on any fictional route currently featured in the game. Developers said that a real-world replica of the Graz tram network is not planned, though local station designs will appear in future updates.

“Man hat ein Abbild der Realität sehr authentisch umgesetzt, nicht nur vom Aussehen her, sondern auch vom Sound,” the developers told Der Grazer, noting that many functions match the real vehicle.

Collaborating with manufacturer Alstom, the studio recorded authentic audio directly from the vehicle. Sound engineers matched switch clicks and operational noises to the physical model, adjusting audio dynamically to the tram’s speed.

The official trailer for the expansion drops on Nov. 17. Players can take the controls starting Dec. 1.
