Cities Skylines 2 delayed into 2024 on console

But the PC release is on track.

Cities Skylines 2 has been delayed to sometime in 2024 on console, Colossal Order and Paradox have today confirmed.

However, the PC version of the title is still on track for its 24 October 2023 release.

“We are hard at work getting the game ready for our release on October 24th,” Colossal Order and Paradox said in a statement.

“While doing so, we have come to realize that we need more time to reach the quality targets we have set,” they continued. “As we want to provide the best experience for our players, we are updating the release window for Xbox and PS5 to Spring 2024. The additional time allows us to focus on matching the quality and performance across all platforms.”

New PC specs were also recently updated for those who aren’t planning to play on console. They’re below.

Cities Skylines 2 recommended PC specs

  • CPU: Inte® Core i5-12600K | AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
  • RAM: 16 GB
  • GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 (10 GB)
  • OS: Windows 10 Home 64 Bit | Windows 11

I still consider an RTX 3080 a fairly high end card, being one of the most powerful from the last generation. But don’t worry if your rig contains something a bit less beefy: the minimum specs are pretty generous.

  • RAM: 8 GB
  • GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 (4 GB)
  • OS: Windows 10 Home 64 Bit

Expect Cities Skylines 2 on Windows PC from 24 October; a release on Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X and PS5 will follow in 2024.
