This is the trade-off for the game having its new VR perspective. However, the cities in Cities: VR will be limited to a much smaller size than those found in Cities: Skylines. Players can also paint in roads and place trees or buildings by hand. The game’s new VR perspective allows the player stand over and move around their virtual city as if it were a model. The Cities: VR trailer reveals the game to be functionally identical to Cities: Skylines on PC and consoles, but with a new VR perspective and controls.Īlthough some players would have preferred a full-blown sequel to Cities: Skylines, a VR version should provide enough of a new gameplay experience. Other games shown off during this stream include Among Us VR and Ghostbusters VR. A new trailer for Cities: VR was shown as part of a Meta Quest 2 showcase stream that revealed many new games and updates coming to the VR system. Now the Cities series is getting a VR spin-off game for the Meta Quest 2, which will be released on April 28, 2022.

Originally released for PC in 2015, Cities: Skylines would later see releases on Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch. However, because the original SimCity series has been dormant since its 2013 reboot, another title has had to take on the mantle of the quintessential modern city management game, Cities: Skylines. There are many great city building games which cover everything from modern cities to colonies on Mars. The game spawned a whole new genre of games based around designing a location and optimizing its administration. City building and management games have been popular since the first SimCity released in 1989.
