Join the party!

We’re turning 10 today, a milestone made possible by the passion and creativity of our incredible community. From the first roads placed to the sprawling metropolises of today, this decade has been shaped by the dedication of city builders like you—whose feedback, support, and love for the game continue to inspire us every day.


As we mark this incredible milestone, we’re dedicating March to celebrating you!

This will be a month to remember, with a special anniversary roadmap featuring new content, new releases, events, contests, and of course, birthday presents to revisit the legacy of Cities: Skylines.

Colossal Order put it in their own words: “We founded Colossal Order with the dream of creating a city-builder that would bring more freedom and creativity to the cities players can build. With Cities: Skylines, that dream not only came true, but thanks to the continued support of our amazing fans, we had the opportunity to keep growing and building this game and community many years after its release and take it even further than anticipated. It's been an incredible journey that's taught us so much — and still has more to teach — and we are forever grateful to everyone who made it possible and who joined us along the way.”

Take a look ahead at what’s in store for the anniversary celebration throughout the month of March.



To mark this milestone, we’re adding a special anniversary patch for Cities: Skylines II featuring 10 free assets, some with a very special makeover—starring none other than Chirper! After all, where there’s party, play, and fun, there’s Chirper.
