About this Wiki
Transport Fever 3 Wiki is a community-built reference for the game Transport Fever 3 by Urban Games, published by Paradox Interactive. This wiki is not affiliated with either company.
The game was released on Sep 29, 2026. This wiki covers the released game. Its content was compiled from official materials and cited sources. Articles show a "Last verified" date.
Editorial Standards
- Every fact is cited. Every page lists its sources at the bottom, with the source type labelled.
- Each article shows a "Last verified" timestamp.
- Confirmed and speculated are kept separate. We name the seven Deluxe / pre-order vehicles; the remaining 268+ are referenced by category only.
- No AI-generated facts. If we do not have a primary source, we say so. The 275+ vehicle roster is proprietary to Urban Games; we do not invent entries.
- Cross-referenced with predecessors. The Transport Fever 2 wiki (wiki.transportfever2.com) is used to understand the mechanics carried forward into TF3.
