The core game has received several updates since release, with the game's title adjusted to coincide with major releases. In 2010, RailWorks became RailWorks 2: Train Simulator and was then followed by RailWorks 3: Train Simulator 2012. The RailWorks branding was dropped with the next major release, titled simply Train Simulator 2013, and this naming convention would continue with yearly releases until Train Simulator 2022. The current version, Train Simulator Classic, was released on 26 April 2022.
