Cities: Skylines is Free to Play!

For a limited time, Cities: Skylines is free to play for the whole weekend! Whether you’ve been watching from the sidelines or meant to revisit your grandest metropolis, this is the perfect moment to step into the mayor’s office.

Design road networks with flair, shape districts with personality, and watch your citizens go about their daily routines. Every decision matters. A single intersection can smooth traffic across the map or bring the whole city to a standstill.

With eleven years of community creativity behind it, Cities: Skylines offers a city-building sandbox shaped by players who turned simple grids into living worlds. Now it’s your turn to lay the first road and see where it leads.
