Cities: VR. Be the mayor in Cities: VR, the ultimate VR city-building and management simulator. Step through the screen and control every aspect of city planning - design neighborhoods, construct buildings, direct the flow of traffic - all while you handle economics, emergency services, and more. Cities: VR brings the definitive city-building experience from Cities: Skylines into VR for the very first time.

Cities: Skylines bringing new features to city builders; with Paradox Interactive's Jakob Munthe, and Colossal Order's Mariina Hallikainen (CEO) and Karoliina Korppoo (Lead Designer).

Cities: Skylines invites you to create the city of your dreams in a sprawling landscape dominated by cloud hugging structures and jaw dropping architectural marvels.

Developed by Colossal Order, Cities: Skylines offers sprawling landscapes and maps with endless sandbox gameplay and new ways to expand your city. Key to progression is the ability to influence your city’s policy by incorporating taxation into districts.
