Rail Route Brings Train Dispatching and Automation to Nintendo Switch in June 2025

Rail Route, the acclaimed train dispatching and automation simulator developed by Bitrich.info and published by Untold Tales, is set to make its debut on the Nintendo Switch on June 20, 2025.

Already noted for its successful release and positive reception on PC, Rail Route now invites console players to dive into the intricate world of railway network management directly from their handheld or docked Nintendo Switch systems. This strategic simulation game places players in the role of a railway manager, beginning with a handful of tracks and stations under manual control.

The core gameplay centers on designing, building, and automating a thriving railway empire.

As players gain experience, they unlock new technologies and enhancements through a comprehensive tech tree, enabling the automation of rail systems and expanding routes across maps inspired by iconic cities including Amsterdam, Berlin, Chicago, London, Shanghai, Tokyo, and more. Rail Route is tailored for both newcomers and veteran simulation enthusiasts.

The game’s intuitive interface makes it easy to learn, while its depth and complexity ensure ongoing challenges for those who seek them.

Each new contract, signal placed, and upgrade selected adds an additional layer of realism, capturing the intricate balancing act faced by real-world rail managers. A standout feature of Rail Route is its robust variety of gameplay modes.

Players can choose Story Mode, which gently introduces new mechanics under the mentorship of a seasoned virtual conductor; Endless Mode, allowing a relaxing experience to build and expand networks at a self-directed pace; Timetable Mode, which presents puzzle-based challenges requiring sharp strategy and time-management; and Rush Hour Mode, designed to test players’ skills with high-pressure dispatching scenarios.

This flexibility ensures that Rail Route remains approachable while also providing substantial content for those craving a more demanding simulation experience. In a recent announcement, Untold Tales and Bitrich.info reaffirmed their commitment to delivering an immersive, feature-rich simulator to Switch players.

“Our vision with Rail Route has always been about blending strategic depth with accessibility.

Bringing it to the Nintendo Switch enables even more players to experience the satisfaction of designing and optimizing elaborate rail networks,” stated the Rail Route development team. Rail Route will be available for digital download via the Nintendo eShop starting June 20, 2025.
