Cities: Skylines II Has Been Delayed Again For Consoles

Developer Colossal Order has announced that the console release for Cities: Skylines II has been delayed again from its previous October release window to meet “the stability and performance targets”. “While we are making slow but steady progress, there are still unresolved issues impacting the game in ways that harm the player experience we want to deliver.” It said. Cities: Skylines 2 launched in October 2023 for PC via Steam.The full message via the developer:

Dear Console Players,

We wanted to update you on the console release schedule. Unfortunately, we have not yet met the stability and performance targets we set for the console release. Without a Release Candidate (RC), we are now unable to meet an October release window.

While we are making slow but steady progress, there are still unresolved issues impacting the game in ways that harm the player experience we want to deliver. We expect to receive a new RC, which will undergo a thorough review in August. This evaluation will determine whether we can begin the submission process and provide a solid release date, or if further issues need to be addressed.

We understand this is disappointing, and it’s not what we had hoped for either. However, we are committed to keeping you informed throughout this development process, even if the updates aren’t always what we’d like.

Thank you for your understanding and support.
