Developers Share Insights on Cities: Skylines II Optimization

The developers have stated that the target frame rate for Cities: Skylines II is set at 30 frames per second. This is due to the nature of city-building simulators where a higher frame rate doesn’t offer real advantages compared to multiplayer shooters.

Interesting findings emerged from the tests: when ramping up the graphics settings to ‘high’, even the powerful RTX 4090 averages at 38.1 FPS. The scenario worsens with a resolution bump to 1440p: none of the tested video cards could deliver more than 30 FPS on high settings.

The release of Cities: Skylines II is just hours away, exclusively on PC. Additionally, the game will be available to Game Pass subscribers.
