Cities: Skylines 2 Launches with Performance Woes, Paradox Promises Optimization Patches

Cities Skylines 2 released and hit a new player record on Steam but received mixed responses due to performance issues.

Developer Paradox admitted the game did not achieve its performance benchmark but still decided to release it.

Paradox shared an optimization guide at launch with settings players can adjust for better performance.

Paradox aims to release patches to fix stuttering, optimize CPU/GPU usage, and add upscaling solutions.

The console version was delayed to work on performance, and official mod support is still planned for the future.
