• OpenTTD asks people to please stop being mad at Atari for forcing the game off Steam: 'OpenTTD as a project retains its full independence,' and you can still get it for free - 20 March 2026

  We warned you last week that the window was closing on OpenTTD , the open source remake of Transport Tycoon Deluxe that was, until quite recently— we warned you, bro —available for free on Steam and GOG. The reason, the OpenTTD team explained, was the imminent return of the real Transport Tycoon Deluxe, the 1995 business sim developed by Chris Sawyer, which Atari was bringing back as a commercial product...

• OpenTTD devs clarify store changes with Transport Tycoon Deluxe re-release as Atari contribute server funding - 20 March 2026

  The OpenTTD developers have released a statement to clarify some confusion and misinformation on the Transport Tycoon Deluxe re-release from Atari.

• An update on Steam changes for OpenTTD - 19 March 2026

  I wanted to provide an update on the situation with OpenTTD on Steam and GOG, and what the Atari re-release of Transport Tycoon Deluxe means for OpenTTD. There has been a lot of speculation and, in some cases, misinformation spread about what has happened. Our initial announcement perhaps didn't provide as much detail as we could have, but I want to reassure OpenTTD fans that we have not been "pressured" by Atari to make these changes. Atari approached us to explain their plans for the Transport Tycoon Deluxe re-release, and what it might mean for OpenTTD. They are keen to work with us, and hope that the new release will be welcomed by the community who have been playing OpenTTD for the past 20+ years. We discussed these plans, and we understood that a compromise would be needed to balance Atari's commercial interests (which of course they are entitled to pursue as the rights holder) ag…

• Changes to OpenTTD distribution on Steam - 16 March 2026

  OpenTTD has been available on the Steam Store for the past five years. During that time, we’ve built up an incredible player base, attracting lots of new players to the game. Starting today however, OpenTTD will no longer be directly available as a standalone game on Steam. It can instead be obtained as part of a bundle alongside the original Transport Tycoon Deluxe, which has been re-released by Atari and is now available to purchase via Steam for Windows, Mac, and Linux. You can purchase the bundle from our store page. Note: Due to a technical glitch, OpenTTD was delisted from Steam entirely for a short period. This was not intended by either Atari or the OpenTTD team, and access was restored as quickly as possible. Apologies for any confusion this may have caused. What does this mean for you? If you already own OpenTTD on Steam, nothing changes. You’ll continue to receive game update…

• OpenTTD 15.0-RC1 released - 8 December 2025

  Good things come to those who wait. OpenTTD 15 is starting the final lap with first release candidate! With a release candidate, the focus shifts from adding new features to finding and fixing bugs to make OpenTTD 15 the best OpenTTD yet. The finding part is where you, the players, come in, too. If there's anything you notice, head over to our issue tracker and make a report.If you've already played any of the betas and use the OpenGFX baseset, you might have noticed a message about missing sprites. This is due to some of the new features in OpenTTD 15. We recommend switching to the newer (and still updated) OpenGFX2 baseset, which you can easily get via the in-game content downloader. Some notable changes over the previous beta3 release are:Automatic font loading for characters not part of the normal language files (like e.g. player names or chat messages)Signs, waypoint and station na…

• OpenTTD 15.0-beta2 released - 13 April 2025

  April 1st has come and gone, but have no fear, for beta2 is here. We've fixed a bunch more since beta1, and need more testing. Also, we added some new features!

What are badges, you ask? Badges are something add-on (NewGRF) authors can put on their content to help you find e.g. the vehicle or station you want to use. For example, various vehicle add-ons use a mix of different icons, overlay images or texts to indicate the power source or the suggested usage of a vehicle. With badges…

• OpenTTD 15.0-beta1 released - 25 December 2024

  Ho, ho, ho, Santa is in town. And he's brought a gift with him. The first beta version of the coming OpenTTD 15 release comes faster, with road waypoints, fewer passwords, better scenario editor, and hopefully with a lot less bugs. To be a bit less vague, here are some of the highlights: Improved picker windows for stations/waypoints/objects/and more. Oh, and that does include road waypoints. Better perfomance in various places, including faster path signals that are now green by default. Password-less network authentication using keys. Several improvements for NewGRFs regarding cargo support. Better scenario editor with a town data importer and manual house placement. A large tree fully hung with ornamental bugfixes. Sadly though, not everbody was good this year. The old NPF pathfinder was finally retired, after YAPF being the superior default for many, many years now. There's a lot of…
