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.

hasta ahora es casi igual de bueno que el 1 por lo menos no hacen falta 100 mods para que el juego valga la pena jugarlo

Patch 1.6.0f1 The Worst Version Yet – Game Breaking I'm tired of this game constantly crashing to the desktop. I'm tired of fake "compatible" mods that give no warning about incompatibility and end up breaking the game. I'm tired of mods that seem to work perfectly at first, but then start causing errors and eventually stop working. Paradox Mods is full of broken mods that aren't marked as incompatible. At the same time, some mods and save games are marked as incompatible even though they actually work perfectly. It makes no sense. The game is completely broken now. I installed a few mods, and now every time I start the game it immediately throws an error before the main menu even appears. I can't access the menu to disable or remove the mods that broke my game. The only way to close it is by forcing it to quit through Steam because it gets stuck. There is nothing I can do to get back into the game. I already cleaned my PC and even uninstalled and reinstalled the game from scratch. The error is still there. My PC is more than powerful enough. I have an RTX 4070 and a Ryzen 7, so hardware is not the problem. The game is broken, and now I can't even launch it anymore.

I've been looking for a successor to SimCity 4 for decades. This is the closest, even more than Cities Skylines 1. CS1 was close but not quite was I was looking for. The economics of this game was an improvement of CS1, and enough to finally feel like SimCity 2020s. Especially with the asset mods. Is it perfect? Definitely nod. Is it good enough? I think so. It's worth 100 hours. That's worth the price of admission, no DLCs. The DLCs add some nice features, but definitely not necessarily features. The basegame is worth buying in Summer 2026. If you're reading this after this, I expect it will be even better, as the new studio taking over as so far seem competent. If you're coming from CS1, I can't promise a good time. If you're coming from a much older experience, this has felt like the closest to the continuation of the gameplay we like. I hope this continues to be true, as the new studio works on the game.
