Paradox has introduced that the long-awaited Cities: Skylines 2 console ports will not be coming earlier than summer season, 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 handle” earlier than it reaches the “degree of high quality” anticipated by gamers.
The writer goes on to say that with a view 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 purpose.
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 yr, and whereas Paradox mentioned on the time that it was concentrating on a launch construct for October, the studio introduced in July that this purpose would not be met.
At this stage, I would actually be stunned if we ever get a concrete launch date for Cities: Skylines 2 on consoles, and given the sport’s in depth issues on PC at launch, maybe that will be for the very best. 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 on condition that the sport can also be accessible as a part of PC Sport Go.
You may take a look at Cities: Skylines 2 proper now on PC through Steam. It is also accessible as a part of a Sport Go membership when you’re signed as much as the PC or Final plans.
