About Cities: Skylines©

Cities: Skylines© poster

Cities: Skylines reimagines the classic city-building formula with a modern eye, capturing both the thrill and the headaches of raising a living city and keeping it running. It builds on familiar ideas from the genre while adding fresh mechanics that make the work of growing and maintaining an urban center feel weighty and rewarding. As a mix of casual, simulation, and strategy, it invites you to take the reins and shape a metropolis on your own terms.

Coming from the team behind the Cities in Motion series, the game leans heavily on a fully realized transport network, letting you plan how people and goods move through your streets. That transport depth pairs with a layered, genuinely challenging simulation that keeps you thinking about the consequences of every decision.

Modding is a defining part of the experience on PC, giving you the freedom to tailor the game to your preferred playstyle and to balance out the demands of the simulation however you like. The pitch is straightforward: your imagination sets the limits, so take control and reach for the sky as you build the city you've always wanted.
