Cities Skylines 2 preload is already available, with the Colossal Order sequel ready for a pre-emptive install right now thanks to Game Pass. Though it is still unclear whether Cities Skylines 2 Steam players can preload the city builder, with launch date on its way it’s possible that CS2 preload will also be shortly available on the Valve storefront, too. Here’s how to preload Cities Skylines 2, as well as the Cities Skylines 2 preload size on PC.
Cities Skylines 2 base game lacks a key building feature, dev confirms
15.09.2023 - 10:50 / pcgamesn.com
The Cities Skylines 2 base includes an enormous amount of additional features, quality-of-life changes, and vital tools incorporated from mods. Between the new roads and traffic systems, seasonal weather, disasters, a much more detailed economy, and tons more, Cities Skylines 2 seemingly launches with almost everything we might have wanted in a sequel. But with the Cities Skylines 2 release date almost upon us, city building game developer Colossal Order confirms that one very useful feature will be absent. If you’re trying to measure and specify a construction on multiple levels, in CS2, it might be a little tricky.
There’s a lot of great stuff coming, including the revamped Cities Skylines 2 maps, which are bigger, more diverse in terms of landscape, and can be customized in terms of climate, location, and architectural style. But when it comes to examining the finer points of the topography and planning how to build roads, zones, and everything else, the Cities Skylines 2 base game at least is missing what is normally a very useful tool.
In a recent Cities Skylines 2 stream, Colossal Order community manager Madeleine ‘Maddie’ Jonsson, who is playing the game live, is asked whether there will be contour lines in CS2 when it launches. Contour lines in the original Cities Skylines highlight changes in elevation and the rough edges of the terrain so that you can more accurately decide where to lay building foundations.
“At release there will not be contour lines,” Jonsson says. “There aren’t any contour lines in the game right now and there won’t be at release.”
Though Colossal Order has not yet discussed post-launch plans for Cities Skylines 2, it is possible that contour lines will be added as part of an update, after the game is out. Features such as customizable park outlines and other detailing and decoration tools specific to park building are also confirmed to be absent from the Cities Skylines 2 base game, though Colossal says it is “interested in hearing what you hope to see added in the future.”
Speaking of which, find out everything there is to know about Cities Skylines 2 DLC, and what we might expect in terms of long-term support. You can also prep yourself for launch day with the complete Cities Skylines 2 system requirements, so you know your PC is ready.

Cities Skylines 2 publisher takes on Factorio with new building game
Paradox is on a roll right now. With Cities Skylines 2 just around the corner and the new strategy sim Millennia also on its way, the Stellaris, Crusader Kings, and Europa Universalis publisher is now taking on Factorio at its own game, with a new procedural builder that looks and feels a little like Minecraft. Revealed today, Foundry comes from the newly-created Channel 3, and challenges you to design, construct, and fully automate a production line on a charming, voxel alien planet. If you love Factorio, or want an alternative to Satisfactory and Infinifactory, this might be the one for you – and there’s a free Steam download on the way, too.
