Chris Sawyer's Locomotion downloadable game
Chris Sawyer's Locomotion is a strategy and simulation title from Atari, delivered as a Steam activation code. Players construct a transportation empire using rail, road, air, and sea networks to move cargo and passengers across a detailed world. The ESRB rates it E for Everyone with mild violence. It suits fans of classic economic tycoon gameplay.
Upgrading from earlier transport sims
This release brings Chris Sawyer's design to a digital Steam library, removing the need for physical discs and legacy DRM. The jump is worthwhile for owners of the original 2004 retail version who want automatic updates and cloud saves. Buyers seeking modern 3D graphics, multiplayer matchmaking, or contemporary UI scaling will not find those features here.
Installing via Steam
Activation requires a free Steam account and an internet connection; the code is redeemed in the client's "Add a Game" menu. The installer then downloads roughly 2 GB of data. The most common issue is attempting redemption from a blocked region such as Russia, Iran, or Venezuela, which Steam will refuse. Ensure your account country matches an allowed territory before purchase.

What is the exact step that activates the game after the Steam client downloads the 2 GB of files?
Launch the Steam client, log in with your Steam account, enter the online game code when prompted, and the licence will bind to that account permanently.
