In this solo or co-op survival FPS, brave the deadly cold as you scavenge for resources and fight swarms of hostiles. Upgrade your engine so it can speed faster and pull more weight as you restlessly explore a frozen world.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Your train is more than a refuge, it is your only way forward. As you explore the frozen wasteland, it will keep you moving and alive, carrying everything you need to survive. Fuel the Eden Engine, manage its power, and operate your train to explore further, scavenging what little remains of this world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"everrail-6\">EverRail<\/h2>\n<div class=\"youtube-video\" data-nosnippet >\n<div class=\"video-aspect-box\"><iframe data-lazy-priority=\"low\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/B_ieXAYXlMM\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>In <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/4134600\/EverRail\/\">EverRail<\/a> the world is freezing, again, and the only way to survive is to keep your train moving. Up to four players can scout the landscape using drones, explore new areas to find resources on foot, and battle enemies in FPS combat. Plus, there&#8217;s an interesting twist on respawning:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Every time you die, you take the role of another passenger on the train. As long as passengers remain, you can respawn and keep exploring the procedural world. New passengers can be found in points of interest and dungeons.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"enginefall-6\">Enginefall<\/h2>\n<div class=\"youtube-video\" data-nosnippet >\n<div class=\"video-aspect-box\"><iframe data-lazy-priority=\"low\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/a_vgatg99Ak\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Thematically, <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/2437390\/Enginefall\/\">Enginefall<\/a> sounds the closest to Snowpiercer\u2014though it doesn&#8217;t have any snow. What it does have is a monstrous megatrain that you fight your way through, from the last car to the first.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;From cramped tail slums to lavish first-class cars and guarded engine rooms, every carriage is a living space to loot, fight over, turn into a base, or eventually claim as part of your own rolling home as you climb from tailie to conductor.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"frostliner-6\">Frostliner<\/h2>\n<div class=\"youtube-video\" data-nosnippet >\n<div class=\"video-aspect-box\"><iframe data-lazy-priority=\"low\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RZ5hl4zqVbE\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The moon has shattered (never a good sign) and, you guessed it, the planet has frozen.

Could <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/3681260\/Frostliner\/\">Frostliner<\/a> be Frostpunk on a train?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;On its steel tracks, you will carve a path across a frozen Earth, adapting your mobile city to meet the needs of those who call it home. Explore a handcrafted world and follow a gripping, linear narrative as you chase warmth, safety, and the faint promise of a future at the end of the line.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"steel-ark-6\">Steel Ark<\/h2>\n<div class=\"youtube-video\" data-nosnippet >\n<div class=\"video-aspect-box\"><iframe data-lazy-priority=\"low\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wfl-_wEWIMA\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>I&#8217;m not seeing any snow in <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/3915840\/Steel_Ark\/\">Steel Ark<\/a>, but just because it&#8217;s warm doesn&#8217;t mean it&#8217;s safe. Alone or in co-op, you&#8217;ll scavenge, hunt, and mine for resources, use automation to increase your production, and of course, upgrade your mobile base. Your train isn&#8217;t your only ride, either: there are other vehicles like buggies to pilot.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The train is your base, transport, storage, and safe zone. You can add carriages for labs, storage, or protection. You\u2019ll also paint it, decorate it, and customize it to survive in different environments. When you enter dangerous zones, you\u2019ll need to prepare by installing special modules, like radiation shields or air filters.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"steel-artery-train-city-builder-6\">Steel Artery: Train City Builder<\/h2>\n<div class=\"youtube-video\" data-nosnippet >\n<div class=\"video-aspect-box\"><iframe data-lazy-priority=\"low\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kLuhKQdzEK0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>This one is much more of a city builder than a straight survival game, but I&#8217;m including it because <em>train<\/em>. Also, there are definitely survival elements in <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/3602030\/Steel_Artery_Train_City_Builder\/\">Steel Artery<\/a>: you build a huge steampunk city on rails and manage its inhabitants, which include elves and orcs.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Every building generates or consumes resources. Workers need salaries, inns charge for rest, and diners demand payment for meals. To keep your city thriving, you must stop in resource-rich regions, extract what you need, and plan your wagon layouts carefully. Space is limited, logistics are complex, and efficiency is the key to survival.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"railborn-6\">Railborn<\/h2>\n<div class=\"youtube-video\" data-nosnippet >\n<div class=\"video-aspect-box\"><iframe data-lazy-priority=\"low\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eGWsHbi85K8\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/2340970\/Railborn\/\">Railborn<\/a> is the only game on this page that hasn&#8217;t officially said it&#8217;s coming in 2026\u2014but we can keep our fingers crossed, right? The building system looks the most freeform of all of these train survival games, letting you build different cars for different biomes in your train, like greenhouses, aquariums, and even caverns as you cross an alien world.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Railborn is a survival game where you scavenge for resources to build your train piece by piece. Collect rare plants to recreate dying biomes, navigate a world entangled by tracks, and uncover alien monoliths\u2014all aboard your mobile sanctuary.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"51b4aa31-11a4-4926-9b76-3c839766c81f\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:661px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:98.94%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"6offQUY4CXebir2TC27dMd\" name=\"kingdom come 2 square\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/trains-are-taking-over-the-survival-genre-there-are-a-half-dozen-survival-base-builders-on-rails-coming-in-2026.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"661\" height=\"654\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/new-pc-games-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"51b4aa31-11a4-4926-9b76-3c839766c81f\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>2026 games<\/strong><\/a>: All the upcoming games<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Our all-time favorites<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-50-best-free-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Free PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Freebie fest<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-fps-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best FPS games<\/strong><\/a>: Finest gunplay<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-rpgs-of-all-time\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best RPGs<\/strong><\/a>: Grand adventures<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-co-op-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best co-op games<\/strong><\/a>: Better together<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/survival-crafting\/trains-are-taking-over-the-survival-genre-there-are-a-half-dozen-survival-base-builders-on-rails-coming-in-2026\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are you doing over there in that survival game?
