Cities: Skylines has sold one million copies

Cities: Skylines is a lovely game; not just because it's a serene city builder, but because it treats its customers like people worthy of trust. You can mod it, you can play it offline, and you can flood your town with disgusting poop water. It's your game, go wild.

It's nice to hear, then, that Cities: Skylines has reached its own population milestone: one million copies sold. It's in impressive total for any game, but particularly one that was only released last month, on March 10.

It's no doubt been helped along by the game's modding community, who have collaboratively contributed over 33,500 new items to the game.

If you're not one of the million C:S owners, maybe take a look at Chris L's review.

Phil has been writing for PC Gamer for nearly a decade, starting out as a freelance writer covering everything from free games to MMOs. He eventually joined full-time as a news writer, before moving to the magazine to review immersive sims, RPGs and Hitman games. Now he leads PC Gamer's UK team, but still sometimes finds the time to write about his ongoing obsessions with Destiny 2, GTA Online and Apex Legends. When he's not levelling up battle passes, he's checking out the latest tactics game or dipping back into Guild Wars 2. He's largely responsible for the whole Tub Geralt thing, but still isn't sorry.
