Cities XL

Cities XL — City-Building Simulation

Cities XL is a city-building simulation about designing a city, shaping its growth, and connecting it to other cities across the Cities XL planet. The game casts you as a virtual mayor: you plan districts, place buildings, track residents' needs, and balance housing, jobs, leisure, and city services.

Cities XL Platinum includes more than 1000 buildings and structures, including 50 new structures. They can be freely placed across more than 60 giant maps with varied terrain and a high level of detail. This makes the game a good fit for players who want to do more than just expand a city — shaping its form, specialization, and ties to the surrounding world.

The gameplay revolves around decisions familiar from modern urban planning. You need to respond to citizens' requests, deal with energy issues, develop public transport, and keep the economy running. Individual cities can be specialized and then linked by trade routes to neighboring settlements, building a more complex and profitable urban network.
