Cities: Skylines II file size on PC

What the Cities: Skylines II install size means in practice

The PC version is the largest listed build of Cities: Skylines II at 60.0 GB. Store listings show the size of the installed package, not the download; the transfer itself is usually 10–30 % smaller because the package is compressed on the way and unpacked on the console. Patches are added on top of the listed figure, so a game that has been out for a year commonly sits a few gigabytes above the number on its store page.

Cities: Skylines II is developed by Colossal Order and published by Paradox Interactive. Genre: Simulator, Strategy. Platforms: PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S.

Against the rest of the database, Cities: Skylines II at 60.0 GB sits above the average install of 43.1 GB across 446 games; 114 of them are larger. Within its genre the average is 33.1 GB, which puts Cities: Skylines II on the heavy side for a simulator of its generation. On a launch PS5 with 667 GB usable it takes 9 percent of the free space; on a 2 TB expansion drive about 3 percent. Deleting it frees exactly the listed figure plus any patches installed since the store listing was checked, and the saves stay.

To check several games against one drive, the storage planner uses the same figures. For the drive itself, the PS5 SSD checker lists which M.2 drives meet Sony's requirements.
