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.

It's mostly fine now, except one persistent problem that has been present from purchase - Traffic errors. I don't mean traffic jams or even illogical routing, but rather cars making 3 point turns on highways and making generally strange maneuvers causing traffic chaos. I know this has something to do with a known error, but it hasn't been addressed and can be game-breaking.
It actually runs now! The meat and potatoes of this game is actually pretty good but this definitley wouldn't run on lower end pcs. The big issue right now is that there basicially isn't any asset diversity and all the good stuff is locked behind overpriced paid DLC.

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.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 32.86/day in the week to Sep 15 → 46.5/day in the week after.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
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.

Yea it could be better. All games can. Put plain and simple. If you want to build a city this is the game.
This game is finally getting better than CS1.
I hate that you have to buy the DLC to have a complete game.

Looked and played like crap on my old RTX 2070 Super; now still looks and plays like ♥♥♥♥ on my RTX 3070. 6 FPS at 1440p
Cities: Skylines 2 is a very fun and highly replayable city-building simulator. Thanks to a great variety of mods and frequent updates, the gameplay always feels fresh and there is always a reason to come back. Sadly, as with all games from this publisher, most of the new update content is hidden behind paid DLCs. Even if they are pretty cheap on their own, there are so many of them that they quickly stack up to a hefty sum over time. Furthermore, the game's performance desperately needs improving, especially as your city expands. Once your population reaches around 200,000 citizens, the slowdown becomes noticeable. By the time you approach the 1-million citizen mark, the simulation crawls to a near halt—to the point where it can take hours of real time just for a single in-game day to pass.
