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.

Give this game a second chance, it’s not the same game it was at launch. Yes, the launch was rough. But since Iceflake Studios took over, they’ve been shipping update after update, and they’re transforming the game. The simulation is real now, no more faked stats. Performance is finally solid: in my playthrough, I didn’t see any stutters until around 500k population, and even then it stayed perfectly playable. Unthinkable at launch. Modding via Paradox Mods is properly taking off too, and Iceflake even builds popular mod features directly into the game, like the new zoning tools. This is becoming the game it should have been at release. The old reviews describe a game that no longer exists. Iceflake delivers. Thumbs up.
I've only played for a couple days, but the game had already crashed 30 times. It's unplayable.
As many are already aware, this game had a rough start, a really rough start, but thanks to the efforts of the new developers (Iceflake studios) The game is at a state where I would honestly recommend it to others when it's on sale. Firstly, I believe that the addition of the asset editor around 7-8 months ago saved this game, giving the modding community the tools they needed to make the game an absolutely amazing experience has truly transformed the experience, it should have been available at launch but im glad to see it in the game and what the community has achieved with it so far. Secondly the various new dlc's have been a true upgrade over what we got in the past, while many doubted iceflake studios's ability to develop this game into what collosal order sadly failed to do, but honestly so far they have been doing an excellent job and I hope that continues into the future. While these changes are great, there is still one major issue that makes me not want to instantly recommend this game, and that issue is performance. Performance has been a major issue within CS2 for a long time now, while not as terrible at launch, and something Iceflake studio's is aware of and that they have said they will work on it is still important to note this. For reference this game is a real struggle on both my desktop pc which had a Ryzen 7 9800X3D, An RTX 5070 Ti 16GB, 32GB DDR5 6000Mhz And 3TB NVME Storage, and my laptop which has a Ryzen 9 9955HX3D 16 Core, An RTX 5070 Ti 12GB Laptop GPU, 5600Mhz DDR5 And 3TB NVME Storage. Even with specs like these performance is honestly not great, especially with mods where I have seen my desktop drop to fps as low as 20fps, now stock is better ofc but not by much as it also frequently drops below 30fps so in my opinion this is the biggest issue that plagues the game atm, and I hope Iceflake studios can resolve performance isue's in the near future. Now tbf to Cities 2, Cities 1 was also notorious for bad performance so it just seems to be a general issue with the cities skylines franchise.
im citying it im citying it. cry me a river hun. Go look over the water and whats that? 30 car pile up deal with it ♥♥♥♥♥. I dare you come at me. Look, upgrading buildings is really cool but why the traffic so low cellular count? Cant brains have a little more juice in them, for pete's sake, we all love pete. Injustice will always prevail when the river rapids exist, so come exercise the rights of biycle guys blocking all the streets so u have to ban them. Ah the good old days

This game should be fun. It should be an improvement from the previous game. A lot of the things are. But they have ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up one key aspect that prevents this game from even being decently enjoyable. The AI for drivers is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ HORRENDOUS. Cars will stop in the middle of the street because a light a mile ahead of them stopped a single car. (NOT AN EXXAGERATION) Roundabouts are useless because they can't be controlled at all. DO NOT BUY THIS MESS.
The gameplay is a big improvement from the first one but the performance just isn't worth it I think the new developers will make it better but for now the optimization is horrible
Technisch völlig überforderter Mod-Support – Zeitverschwendung Inhalt: Ich habe mittlerweile mehr Zeit mit der Fehlersuche verbracht als mit dem eigentlichen Spiel. Nach dem letzten Mod-Update crasht das Spiel bei jedem Start mit einer „ArgumentNullException“, die sich selbst nach dem manuellen Löschen aller Mod-Ordner (ModsData sowie aus dem Steam-Workshop-Verzeichnis) nicht beheben lässt. Was ich versucht habe: Komplettes Löschen des ModsData-Ordners ohne Erfolg. Manuelles Entfernen der verursachenden Mod-Daten aus dem Steam-Workshop-Verzeichnis (...\steamapps\workshop\content\949230\241100). Überprüfung der Spieldateien auf Fehler. Endergebnis: Trotz aller manuellen Bereinigungsversuche der Spieldateien bleibt das Spiel beim Starten schwarz und lässt sich nicht mehr öffnen. Das Modding-System von Cities: Skylines II ist in diesem Zustand einfach nur defekt. Man wird gezwungen, tiefe Eingriffe in die Dateistruktur vorzunehmen, nur um das Spiel zum Laufen zu bringen – und selbst das führt zu weiteren Fehlern. Wer spielen will, statt Programmierer zu spielen, sollte hier aktuell die Finger von lassen.
Yea it could be better. All games can. Put plain and simple. If you want to build a city this is the game.
