Publisher Paradox Interactive and developer Colossal Order haave announced a delay for Cities: Skylines II on consoles.

The city builder will forgo its previously planned October release date on Xbox Series X|S and PS5 for one sometime next spring. The PC version (via Steam) is still launching on October 24th.

Here’s a message regarding the delay:

Hello City Building Enthusiasts! We are sharing an update with you on the upcoming launch of Cities: Skylines II.

We are hard at work preparing the game for our release on October 24th. While doing so, we have realized that we need more time to reach the quality targets we have set for Console. 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.

We’ll share more updates on the console release window soon. As work on optimization continues, we’re also updating the minimum and recommended PC specs. If you have remaining questions, please find our FAQ here.

In the meantime, we are excited to welcome PC players to build their dream cities on October 24.

Happy Building!

Colossal Order & Paradox Interactive
