Paradox has introduced that the long-awaited Cities: Skylines 2 console ports will not be coming earlier than summer time, an announcement the writer says is geared toward “set[ting] expectations clearly”.
In a information replace on Steam, Paradox says that whereas “regular progress” is being made on the PS5 and Xbox Sequence X|S variations of Cities: Skylines 2 (no PS4 or Xbox One port right here, sadly), there are “extra issues [the studio needs] to deal with” earlier than it reaches the “stage of high quality” anticipated by gamers.
The writer goes on to say that with the intention to “keep away from any untimely estimates”, extra data will solely be offered when Paradox is “nearer to a launch-ready state”. It sounds just like the studio remains to be fairly a methods off that aim.
In case you want a reminder, the PS5 and Xbox Sequence X|S variations of Cities: Skylines 2 had been initially meant to launch alongside the PC model of the sport, however had been pushed again to spring 2024 shortly earlier than the PC model’s launch.
Following that, the console variations of Cities: Skylines 2 had been delayed as soon as once more in April final 12 months, and whereas Paradox stated on the time that it was concentrating on a launch construct for October, the studio introduced in July that this aim would not be met.
At this stage, I might actually be shocked if we ever get a concrete launch date for Cities: Skylines 2 on consoles, and given the sport’s intensive issues on PC at launch, maybe that will be for the most effective. Nonetheless, it appears Paradox is tough at work on the console model, so we’ll have to attend and see.
After all, the aforementioned points weren’t sufficient to cease Cities: Skylines 2 promoting one million copies on PC by the tip of 2023, which was a very spectacular milestone provided that the sport can also be out there as a part of PC Sport Cross.
You possibly can try Cities: Skylines 2 proper now on PC through Steam. It is also out there as a part of a Sport Cross membership when you’re signed as much as the PC or Final plans.
