Would you like me to check the latest Steam price for the base game or the Train Sim World 2020 Collector’s Edition?

That’s an excellent question that brings up an important point about the Train Sim World franchise!

Based on the search results, while your initial text indicated the game could be purchased on Steam, it appears that Train Sim World 2020 (TSW 2020) is no longer available for direct sale on Steam or other major digital storefronts as a new purchase.

Here’s a breakdown of the current situation for PC users:

🛑 TSW 2020 Status on Steam

Delisted: The publisher (Dovetail Games) requested the game be removed from sale in December 2021.
Reason: The game was made largely redundant by its successors, Train Sim World 2, 3, 4, and now 5 and 6.
The Content Lives On: Nearly all of the routes and locomotives that were included with TSW 2020 were carried forward to the newer games through the Preserved Collection system. You can buy the routes (like Great Western Express, Long Island Rail Road, etc.) as individual DLC for the newer TSW games.
Current Price (if available): The last recorded base price for TSW 2020 on Steam was $12.99 USD.

💻 Where You Can Still Get It (PC)

The only way to acquire TSW 2020 (or the Collector’s Edition) now is typically through a third-party key reseller or by finding a physical retail copy for console, as you noted:

Merchant	Price (Approximate)	Condition	Notes
Steam	N/A	N/A	No longer available for direct purchase.
GameStop / eBay	~$15 – $40	Pre-Owned / New	Physical copies (for PS4/Xbox) or finding a boxed copy with an unredeemed PC key.
Key Resellers	Varies widely	New Digital Key	Some third-party key sites still sell keys, but this is less reliable.
