About
Released in 2013, Cities in Motion 2 is a simulation and strategy game that builds on its predecessor's success by allowing players to design, manage, and expand their own public transportation networks. Notable for its dynamic city environments and the introduction of multiplayer modes, the game challenges players to adapt their strategies to the ever-changing needs of urban populations. With features like day and night cycles and comprehensive timetables, Cities in Motion 2 provides a rich simulation experience for those looking to test their logistical skills.
In terms of PC performance, Cities in Motion 2 is relatively accessible and can run smoothly on entry-level hardware. With a minimum GPU requirement comparable to a device scoring around 330, players can expect playable FPS even on basic graphics settings. For a better experience, a mid-range GPU can significantly enhance graphics quality and ensure consistent frame rates, making the game enjoyable even during complex simulations.
Considering its 70/100 rating and strong emphasis on strategy and simulation, Cities in Motion 2 is worth a try for fans of the genre. While it may not be a must-play for everyone, those who appreciate city-building and transport management will likely find the game engaging and rewarding.
Performance profile
Released in April 2013, Cities in Motion 2 sits in the DirectX 11 generation. Comfortable on any modern mid-range GPU at 1440p; even an RTX 3050 or RX 6600 typically delivers 4K60 at High settings.
As a strategy title, Cities in Motion 2 is typically CPU-bound rather than GPU-bound — single-thread CPU performance dictates framerate during large-scale battles, end-game saves and late-game AI turns. A fast modern 6-core will help more than a GPU upgrade.
Extremely light — Cities in Motion 2 runs at 60 FPS 1080p on any integrated GPU (Intel Iris Xe, AMD Radeon Graphics) or a decade-old discrete card like the GTX 1050. A current-gen RTX 4060 pushes 4K Ultra without effort.
