Paradox announced that Cities: Skylines 2, a game which has had constant struggles since its release on PC, may not hit consoles anytime soon. It could be a very, very long wait for console players that were looking forward to the game.
The publisher says that the console version of Cities: Skylines 2 has been delayed indefinitely. The console version still isn't quite there yet but the team is making "slow but steady progress." This means that the planned October 2024 release window for Cities Skylines 2 for Xbox and PlayStation is very much out of the window.
Given that developer Colossal Order is still working to fix things for the PC version of the game nearly nine months after release, the console version being delayed shouldn't come as too much of a surprise. When we hear something new about the console release of the game, we'll be sure to let you know.
As for the PC version of the game, Colossal Order just released a couple of major updates in the past couple of weeks. One update introduced what is called Economy 2.0 while subsequent updates have included a myriad of bug fixes along with some new content.
Dear Console Players,
We wanted to update you on the console release schedule. Unfortunately, we have not yet met the stability and performance targets we set for the console release. Without a Release Candidate (RC), we are now unable to meet an October release window.
While we are making slow but steady progress, there are still unresolved issues impacting the game in ways that harm the player experience we want to deliver. We expect to receive a new RC, which will undergo a thorough review in August. This evaluation will determine whether we can begin the submission process and provide a solid release date, or if further issues need to be addressed.
We understand this is disappointing, and it’s not what we had hoped for either. However, we are committed to keeping you informed throughout this development process, even if the updates aren’t always what we’d like.
Thank you for your understanding and support.
