Now, I know what you’re thinking. “Will the in-game editor be available right at launch?” Well, hold your horses.

The team is working their magic, and soon after the launch, you’ll have the power to create and shape your virtual metropolis just the way you want it. And hey, there will even be some mods ready for you to dive into from day one. How cool is that?
Paradox Mods: The Gateway to Limitless Possibilities
Now, let’s talk about the official mod platform for Cities: Skylines 2, called Paradox Mods. This is where the console players will have access to a library of asset mods to enhance their gaming experience. With Paradox Mods, you’ll have the keys to unlock a whole new level of creativity and customization. Want to add stunning skyscrapers, beautiful parks, or even a Godzilla-inspired monster rampaging through your city? Well, now you can, my friend.
Of course, the introduction of mods to the console world is no small feat. The team behind Cities: Skylines 2 understands that there may be a learning curve and challenges along the way. But fear not, fellow gamers, they’ve got your back. They’ve committed resources to ensure a smooth and seamless integration of Paradox Mods into the console versions. So, get ready to unleash your imagination and let the mods take your gaming experience to new heights!
Addressing Performance Concerns
Now, let’s dive into a topic that’s been on the minds of many gamers: performance. The team at Colossal Order and Paradox are well aware of the concerns surrounding Cities: Skylines 2’s performance. They’ve been working tirelessly to deliver the best experience possible, but they admit that they haven’t quite reached their target benchmark.
In a recent forum post, the team shared their thoughts: “Cities: Skylines II is a next-gen title, and naturally, it demands certain hardware requirements. With that said, while our team has worked tirelessly to deliver the best experience possible, we have not achieved the benchmark we targeted. In light of this, we still think for the long-term of the project, releasing now is the best way forward. We are proud of the unique gameplay and features in Cities: Skylines II, and we genuinely believe that it offers a great experience that you will enjoy. We will continually improve the game over the coming months, but we also want to manage expectations on performance for the coming release. Our ambition is for Cities: Skylines II to be enjoyed by as many players as possible, and we’re committed to ensuring it reaches its full potential. Thanks for your understanding and continuous support. We’re lucky to have a community as passionate and dedicated as you.”
It’s refreshing to see game developers being transparent and open about the challenges they face. While it’s important to manage our expectations, we can still look forward to the unique gameplay and features that Cities: Skylines 2 has to offer. And hey, remember that Rome wasn’t built in a day, right? The team will continue to work on improving the game in the months to come, so let’s keep our spirits high and support their efforts!
A Delay for the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S Editions
Now, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it’s important to keep you in the loop. The PS5 and Xbox Series X|S editions of Cities: Skylines have been delayed until Spring 2024. I know, I know, it’s a bummer. But here’s the silver lining: the delay is necessary to ensure these editions are on par with the PC version. You deserve nothing but the best, my fellow gamers, and the team is taking the extra time to deliver a top-notch experience for the next-gen consoles.
So, mark your calendars, PC gamers! Cities: Skylines 2 will be gracing your screens on October 24th. And console gamers, while you may have to wait a bit longer, trust me when I say that the wait will be worth it. Get ready to build, create, and shape your dream cities like never before!
