- Cities: Skylines II
- Expansion Pass



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.

immediate delivery and saved me a bit of money compared to buying through steam. Also this is the pre-order version so got some free DLC too but ymmv. looking forward to playing once the game releases in a few hours!
  • immediate delivery
  • free landmarks dlc
  • cheaper than steam
rtx 3060ti and i5-13600kf and it´s so close. The optimization of this game it´s worst than the first version of cyberpunk, i can´t understand why you can sell this game when it´s clearly unfinished. I hope new upgrades can solve this problems.
  • better than skylines 1
  • optimization
Game is not optimized well for launch. I'd probably recommend it based off of the 5 hours I have played so far once they fix a lot of the issues. For right now I would hold off because you won't get your money's worth.
  • Beautiful graphics
  • Smooth building
  • Badly optimized gameplay
  • Low FPS
not worth buying it! there aren't many mods available! the traffic manager is really much needed but it's not available! the base game is lame. in the previous version you could have build a square, in this one you have no option.
  • graphic is good
  • everything
i am again as always hapy buy the game cheap get the code and done asdaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
  • Every thing
  • The tax is only showed at check out still really cheap but ye
Amazing Game and at first thought was a scam but just had some rlly good deals to offer
  • So quick and Easy
  • Fun Game
  • No Bugs or Graphical Issues
  • Nothing
Really good game and improving every update nice work
  • Graphics
  • Gameplay
  • Still quite laggy
I think this game is the biggest rip-off ever, I got it for 27 euros and even for that price it is absolutely NOT worth it. I currently have an RTX 3060 and I was playing on high settings, I have to say the game looked like I was playing a PS3 game. You have to say that after the performance patches you have a stable 70-80 FPS, but the graphics are anything but good. Selling a game like this for 50 euros original on steam is theft, and I don't advise ANYONE to buy it.
  • absolutely non pros
  • Bad graphics
  • Too expensive
unfinished game, all sort of thing thats supposed to be ok at launch are not. like they don't even try the game before release. all the new update only fixe minor things. game is 3 weeks old, still broken, thats a shame
  • export/import not fonctional
  • car behavior completely broken
  • performance very low
It is even without mods a substantial upgrade to CS1.

The scale is much more realistic and the map feels really large.

Now that the performance issue has been fixed (atleast for me) I can only recommend the game.
  • Better Scale
  • Map feels really large
  • Better Graphics
  • Might run bad on lower end PC's
  • Not a lot to unlock (in the techtree)
  • Variety of Assets is really bad
le jeux est bien mais il n'est pas optimisé ( je commence a bugger vers les 8 milles habitant ) mais apar sa le jeux est très cool et super bien fait. ( The game is good but it is not optimized (I start to get stuck around 8 thousand inhabitants) but otherwise it is very cool and super well done.)
  • super beau ( beautiful )
  • super jeux ( good game)
  • Pas optimisé ( Not optimized )
  • lag

Good and speedy delievery
Very Good
  • Good game, good diversity
  • room for improvements
In a nutshell, the game is very good (in my opinion, of course). You have a ton of things to work with, like traffic, noise, building the city overall. It feels very packed. Also, the graphics are insane! Now they also added mods (not like the 1 version but good overall).

Is it perfect? Not even near. Yes, the game is heavy to run. On an RX 6700XT with ultra preset, it runs at 40 - 60 fps. Using FSR really helped here. It also has some glitches here and there as well.
But overall I think the game is really nice. I played it before buying and enjoyed to the point of wanting to buy it.
  • Graphics
  • Very feature pack
  • Relatively new, so expect improvements and new features
  • Not very optimzed
  • Expect some minnor glitches
Worth buying here during sales as compared to steam where the price there is unreasonably high.
Great city building game and successor to cities 1!
A good starting point fo a sequel to the original. There are a good amount of quality of life improvements and the visuals can be really enjoyable. There is a lack of content especially when comparing to the end of cs1 but there seems to be an effort to fix this. Recommend for lovers of the original who want something fresh.
I'm a big fan of city building. lots of custom designs and the mods are extensive
Thank you for the game, saved me 23 euros and the key worked.

Review: Cities: Skylines II – A Grand Urban Symphony

Cities: Skylines II builds on the solid foundation of its predecessor with impressive advancements that elevate the city-building genre to new heights. This sequel not only refines the core gameplay but also introduces exciting new features that enrich the urban planning experience.

Graphics and Performance: The game boasts stunning visuals with highly detailed cityscapes and realistic weather effects. The improved graphics engine brings your cities to life, making each building and street feel vibrant and dynamic. Performance is solid, with smooth gameplay even on larger city maps.

Gameplay and Features: Cities: Skylines II expands on the original’s deep simulation with enhanced management tools, including more nuanced economic systems, advanced transportation networks, and detailed zoning options. The new dynamic population system adds layers of realism, as citizens react to your decisions in a more lifelike manner. The revamped modding tools are a major highlight, offering unprecedented customization and creativity for players.

Building and Planning: The game’s interface is intuitive, making city management both accessible and challenging. The new tutorial system helps newcomers get up to speed, while veterans will appreciate the deeper strategic options. The introduction of natural disasters and climate change elements adds a compelling layer of complexity, requiring players to adapt their strategies.

Community and Modding: The thriving modding community is well-supported, with seamless integration of custom content. The exchange of mods and city designs enhances replayability and keeps the game fresh.

Conclusion: Cities: Skylines II is a triumph in city-building simulation, combining stunning graphics, intricate gameplay, and robust community support. Whether you’re a long-time fan or new to the genre, this game offers a rich, immersive experience that promises countless hours of engaging urban management. If you enjoyed the first game, this sequel is a must-have for your collection.
  • Stunning Graphics
  • Dynamic Population System
  • Improved Modding Tools + support from Cities skylines1
  • Steep Learning Curve
  • Microtransactions and DLCs
  • High System Requirements
Doesn't work anymore for me. You could say that there's a 50% probability that it doesn't start.

The Paradox Forum where you report bugs wouldn't work for me either but there are already more than enough crash reports that are now months old, but the devs are still doing nothing about it.
  • May work
  • Doesn't work
  • lags
  • Bugs
Amazing game. You can build everything in your own way and you can imagine your ideal city.

The game is far from its perfect form as DLC will come in the future. Paradox always find a way to keep the standards high.
  • insane creativity
I thought this might be a scam but here I am a proud owner of a game I wished I had bought at launch. The game is awesome and since launch I waited patiently for this March Sale Discount. I would recommend to anyone to buy the game from here !!!
  • CHEEEAP GAME
  • Cmon Its Cites Skylines 2 !!!
  • I BOUGHT IT FROM HERE ONLY BECAUSE OF BIFFA
  • Stress of being potentially scammed
  • Paying VAT :(
  • Reddit scaring people from buying games from here
It's piece of crap to be honest. It's ten times worse than Cities Skylines 1. Performance is even worst than gameplay itself. Do not buy if you don't have monster PC . Most of the content is copy paste from Cities Skylines 1. Obviousle mechanics are redesigned but you still feel like it's not a game from 2023.
  • Graphics
  • Small amount of content
  • Performance
  • Gameplay
This game is pretty amazing. I loved the mechanics, designs, and the overall goal of the game. If you bought the original standard version, instant gaming was also pretty nice enough to give you the landmarks pass along with it!! However, the only issue I see is performance. I have a quad intel i3 11th gen cpu with Intel UHD graphics and 8 gb of ram. Even starting off, I get 16 fps. Please make sure your pc can run it. It also requires 60 gb of storage.
  • Amazing Mechanics
  • Overall Idea and Goal
  • Progressional
  • Performance issues
Overall as of February 11, 2024, this game is underwhelming in terms of features and creativity. This game also has a lot of bugs that need to be addressed. The land value bug is #1 on this list of bug fixes. The lack of props in this game hinders creativity. As of writing this, there are only trees and some bushes in the game. Unlike SC1 where the base game has trees, rocks, and different pathways. SC2 feels like a beta where things from vanilla SC1 are out do those in vanilla SC2. This game has a lot of catch-up to do before it can take on the role of SC1. I would say to wait until later this year before buying this game due to how incomplete it is. For more information on bug and issues and overall game play, check out City Planner Plays or Biffa Plays Indie Games.

  • Lack of props/ tedious
  • Missing features
After watch many you tubes I doubt I will buy it , good but hard to follow. |t's far to buggy for me. I prefer cs1 it's easier to use, there are many mods for the original but not for 2. so all in all not for me
  • looks good for graphics
  • hard to follow
Honestly ive use IG for a while now and they somehow always have the best prices! City Skylines 2 is a wonderful game with a not so sharp learning curve so you can have fun even if you dont know what youre doing.
  • cheaper
  • sometimes out of stock
Good game but it needs some fine-tuning. The performance needs work and needs some mods to make the game more enjoyable. Need a high-end PC if you want the graphics on high. Been some updates since the release which have made some improvements but still a long way to go.
  • Graphics
  • Performance needs work!
Bad game...

-Piss poor performance.

-Missing features from previous game.

-No Steam Mod support planed.

-Still no Paradox mod support.

-Useless Paradox launcher.

-High standard Price.

  • Cheap (relative) on Instantgaming
  • Bugs
  • Performance even 3080 and new ryzen
  • Missing features from preivous game
