Cities: Skylines 2 is on Game Pass
Cities: Skylines 2 is one of the games that has arrived on day 1 to members subscribed to Xbox Game Pass, although the title can currently only be enjoyed on PC, through Steam or through Microsoft, whether purchased or with the subscription.
It is expected that the console version will arrive around mid-2024, so until then, this resource management game will remain exclusive to PC. In the meantime, during this period, the studio will make efforts to continue fixing the launch issues of Cities: Skylines 2 so that, before it arrives on consoles, the PC version is also in the desired state for its players.
