To celebrate its upcoming sequel, Cities: Skylines will be getting a free Hubs and Transport update and various DLC.

Cities: Skylines Free Update Release Date: March 22, 2023

The Hubs and Transport update and the various Cities: Skylines DLC will come out on March 22, 2023. These will be the last of two groups of updates the game will receive before the sequel’s launch.

The Hubs and Transport update will be a free update for the base game, as well as its four expansions: After Dark, Snowfall, Natural Disasters,  and Mass Transit. As the name implies, the update will bring certain improvements to the game’s transport system. As for what exactly that entails, we still do not know as of now.

Other than updates to the transport system, each of the expansions will also receive some new content:

  • After Dark: Black taxi Cab
  • Mass Transit: Four New Ferries
  • Natural Disasters: Disaster Response Air Base
  • Snowfall: Metro-Tram Hub with Road

There will also be three new Content Creator Packs (CCP) coming alongside the free update:

  • Shopping Malls (Created by KingLeno)
  • Africa in Miniature (Created by Setonji “Prince Set” Hotonu)
  • Sports Venues (Created by BadPeanut)

These CCPs are arriving alongside three new radio stations: The Just Another Day in Africa (JADIA) Radio Station, the 80s Movies Tunes Radio Station, and the Pop Punk Radio Station.

However, it does not end there. Come May, three more Content Creator Packs will be released

  • Industrial Evolution (Created by Samantha “Avanya” Woods)
  • Railroads of Japan (Created by Ruichi Kaminogi)
  • Brooklyn & Queens (Created by Prosper)

Like the CCPs above, there will also be new radio stations, specifically the Pino Tunes Radio Station and the 90’s Pop Radio Station. There will also be a Vacation With Us Mini Expansion coming in May, although details are not available yet.
