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.

Im hard!
Game is very fun and enjoyable! This game has allowed me to relax and plan & build my own mini city where I have DIRECT control over! Do note that you will need to have a decent pc to run lol
Lancio disastroso, ma ultimamente il gioco sta rapidamente migliorando. Ancora lontano dai fasti del primo capitolo ma la strada è quella giusta. Dopo oltre 230 ore di gioco, nel complesso, lo consiglio!
1.2h → 1.7h 35 EUR -> Not so bad for this game. yeah.. buy it. It's a total new feeling from Cities Skylines 1. This game is actually not that bad. But the early game is extremely confusing, and it’s very easy to get stuck if you don’t understand how the new systems work. I restarted from scratch and in 30 minutes I reached 1000 population, and the city looks genuinely amazing. The gap between my first 1.2 hours and the next 30 minutes is huge. --------------------------------- 0h → 1.2h Don’t buy at 50 EUR. Don’t buy at 35 EUR. Don’t buy at 10 EUR. This game should be free-to-play until they fix the bugs — and only then ask money for it. I played for 1.2 hours and the experience is horrible. Population: 85 people. Water system: 4 water pumps. Result: the game still cries that the water is “infected”. The new system with water and electricity under the road is a mess. Every building complains it’s not connected to a road, and if the slope is slightly too high, the building simply refuses to connect. And here’s the best part: If a building can’t connect to a road, you can’t relocate it. You must delete it. At this point I’d rather delete the game and go back to Cities Skylines 1. Horrible, horrible experience.
The ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ don't like the nuclear power plant I placed in their backyard giving off 115 dBs of quantum physics whilst the 5G tower next to the $200/hr multi-story parking garage melts their minds with microwaves. #iloveassholeville
The game has zero performance. Additionally, this is supposed to be a simulation city-building game. Well... it's not. You need to rely on mods for basic road network management.
真的太垃圾了,游戏闪退先不说,mod订阅之后还会出现无法使用的bug,卸载mod还卸载不干净
Not sure of the games state on release but as of right now, played for 20+ hours and ran into little to no bugs.
I enjoy this game but I do miss the specialized Zones, like colleges, that City 1 had.
