About

NewCity, released in 2020, is an engaging indie simulation and strategy game that invites players to embrace their creativity as they build and manage a thriving regional city. As part of the early access category, the game offers a unique twist on city-building, emphasizing both strategy and design elements. Players are tasked with blending resource management with urban planning, making it a notable title among indie game enthusiasts.

When it comes to PC performance, NewCity is relatively accessible, requiring at least an entry-level GPU with a minimum score of around 2202. A configuration with 16 GB RAM will ensure a smoother experience, especially when exploring various graphics settings to optimize your FPS. For those looking to maximize performance, consider upgrading your GPU to a mid-range tier, which will allow for higher frame rates and improved visuals, enhancing overall gameplay.

If you're a fan of simulation and strategy games, NewCity is definitely worth considering, especially given its innovative approach to city-building and encouraging player creativity. With its indie charm and promising early access development, it has the potential to warmly engage both casual and dedicated gamers alike.

Performance profile

Released in June 2020, NewCity targets RTX 20/30-series and RX 6000-era hardware. A current mid-range GPU (RTX 4060 Ti / RX 7700 XT) is the sweet spot for 1440p Ultra; 4K needs a high-end card.

As a strategy title, NewCity 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 — NewCity 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.
