Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Every market we collect.
Charts
Each storefront's own chart, in its own country — the closest public signal to sales where none is published. A country missing from a list is one we don't collect there, not one where the game doesn't chart.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
About


Raise a city from the ground up and transform it into the thriving metropolis only you can imagine. You've never experienced building on this scale. With deep simulation and a living economy, Cities: Skylines II delivers world-building without limits.
Lay the foundations for your city to begin. Create the roads, infrastructure, and systems that make life possible day to day. It's up to you – all of it.
How your city grows is your call too, but plan strategically. Every decision has an impact. Can you energize local industries while also using trade to boost the economy? What will make residential districts flourish without killing the buzz downtown? How will you meet the needs and desires of citizens while balancing the city's budget?
Your city never rests. Like any living, breathing world, it changes over time. Some changes will be slow and gradual, while others will be sudden and unexpected. So while seasons turn and night follows day, be ready to act when life doesn't go to plan.
The most realistic and detailed city builder ever, Cities: Skylines II pushes your creativity and problem-solving to another level. With beautifully rendered high-resolution graphics, it also inspires you to build the city of your dreams.

AI and intricate economics mean your choices ripple through the fabric of the city. Remember that as you strategize, problem-solve, and react to change, challenges, and opportunities.


Cities: Skylines II lets you create without compromise. Now you can build sky-high and sprawl across the map like never before. Why not? Your city is you.


Your decisions shape each citizen's life path, a chain of events that defines who they are. From love and loss to wealth and wellbeing, follow their life's ups and downs.

Pick a map to set the climate of your city. These are the natural forces you'll negotiate to expand your city amid rising pollution, changeable weather, and seasonal challenges.

better than the 1st so much easier to mod so much fun
I started playing this game December 2024, so I got 1.5 years and 180 hours into it. I reached over 1 million population fairly quickly, at default settings, with no cheats or mods. I would say it has been running well and I have been enjoying it, even well before Iceflakes took over development. So, with the laptop hardware I have, my playing style and my expectations, I am happy and do recommend the SC2.

Of the 5 markets with a position on both sides, 5 climbed and 0 fell. The same sale, the same day, opposite directions — which is why nothing here is averaged into a single arrow, and why one sale is not a trend.

Too few observations to say whether a discount moves this store's chart at all: across the last 30 days Steam · Top Sellers · Poland has just 18 day-to-day chart moves that followed a price cut, against 2,498 that did not. We are publishing the count instead of a direction — 20 is the fewest we will draw a conclusion from, and price collection outside the United States began on 6 August 2026.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Very good game not so cheap but you can fix that with mods but dont install to many mods ( the game wont work for about a year)

Fun to build a city, a lot of options for creativity
Its very fun! absolutely worth the 50 bucks.
Sorry, aber das Spiel stürzt die ganze Zeit ab.
I am a big fan of simulation games, only thing I don't like is that I am playing this on my laptop so I have to have the quality lower in order for the fps to not be absolute dogwater. I really do like this game though, the traffic ai is annoying at times but I know there's mods that can fix that. I love how many things there are to do in this game, as a beginner it's overwhelming but I am getting used to it. As a Sims player I run into a problem of "doing everything" and getting bored but I feel like I won't have that problem with this game, at least for a very long time.
this is one of the best game about building a city
