Cities: Skylines is a modern take on the classic city simulation. The game introduces new game play elements to realize the thrill and hardships of creating and maintaining a real city whilst expanding on some well-established tropes of the city building experience.
Modeled estimate, not a reported figure. How we estimate →
Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
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.
No United States chart position — it charts only in the markets below.
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.

Each DLC is estimated with the same model as a game, then summed — a modeled figure, not reported DLC sales.
Sums Steam only; PlayStation, Epic publish no volume signal, so the true total is higher by an unknown amount.

Very interesting
If you loved the original Sim City series - this is it just grown up a bit with better graphics, and lots of bolt on options.
I enjoyed this game quite a bit. It gave me Simcity Vibes and does it much better. Only negative is all the DLC's but they do have some interesting DLC's

Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 24.71/day in the week to Aug 14 → 38.14/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 2,419 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.

ITS GOOD BYGOD
my city is riddled with a freshwater plague that has wiped 90% of the population. now all the buildings are abandoned and all workers are undereducated. didnt really know what to do so i just wiped the city from existence, killing the remaining 2000 people and ending the story of the city i worked on for 15 hours. i later found out all i needed that whole time was a water treatment plant, a 2 minute fix. other than that i found it fun. it was a nice retreat from the competitive games im fond of. i strongly suggest actually reading the tutorials they paste on the screen. i got this game for like £2 on sale. i think its locked to 60 fps. i put it to max settings and got 60fps. put it to lowest settings and got 60 there too.
''City skylines is hand down the best city-building simulator out there. The zoning mechanics, the industrial specializations (like oil and faming), and the traffic management system give total control over your dream city. It can be challenging when managing gridlocks or sewage issues, but that' what makes it so addictive and satisfying. A solid 10/10 for any strategy game fan!"
