Console Remastered - FAQ

[WesleyLuiz360]

Do you say "Map Editor", so can I upload heightmaps? The heightmap of my real city?!!!

I don't think so, I think only the maps in the game/dlc's/mappack

Are there any changes the the windows 10 edition that's on the Microsoft store?

 

[BJonzey]

I’m so glad you folks are adding improvements on Xbox series x and was expecting 12-15 tiles but 25 wowww amazing work and map editor who knew and more. But there’s one thing though, I’m on vacation and not home so I know it’s available on 15th will it still be available on 20th and 21st that’s when I’m home so just would like to know. Thanks

Yes. Once it’s out, it’s out

Are there any changes the the windows 10 edition that's on the Microsoft store?

True, I would like to know if they will update the Microsoft Store version, since the Windows 10 Edition was the same version as the Xbox One Edition, you could even use the saves.

Would PC players be able to get 25 tiles without mods too? Or do we still need to go to mods?

Big thanks for the remastered version! I love this game, i have one question.. i bought the game for ps4 a loooooong time a go. I also bought most of the updates, is it possible to get it on my Xbox Series x with the paradox account? Or need i buy the new version for my xbox because Microsoft/Sony are different?

Different platforms, you will need to buy the Xbox version.

A tip I advise is to subscribe to the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate which will guarantee you a big discount on the purchase of the game and the dlc's.

The Base Game on the American Xbox Store:
Non-Game Pass Subscribers = $39.99 - For Game Pass Subscribers = $31.99

What will happen with Old-Gen consoles?
I know they wont get the Remastered Edition, but do we still get upcoming dlcs in future?
And how long will old-gen consoles be supported?

You’ll have to buy the Xbox version of the game, but you can still attach your current paradox account

So excited to hear about this! Will there be access to more mods than what we had access to in the last gen version? Or will we be able to download other players custom maps?

 

[CB16]

Just thought of one thing when the remastered is released do you need game pass to do this because I don’t have game pass so wondering will I get the remastered without game pass?

If you own the game, you don’t need gamepass

 

[CB16]

If you own the game, you don’t need gamepass <3

That’s good to know thanks can’t wait to play it when I get back from vacation

 

[Darchelon]

Will achievements/trophy's and unlocked unique buildings reset when we upgrade to the remastered version?

 

[ChiefLEGOMAN1]

Will achievements/trophy's and unlocked unique buildings reset when we upgrade to the remastered version?

I believe it would reset as it's a separate instalment of the game. If saves were able to be transferred to the remaster then you'd have the achievements, but considering this isn't possible due to the difference in code base then your achievements would be reset.

Good question. I'd be interested to hear an answer on this as well.

Is the Remastered version free?

• Yes, if you already own the Base Game or any DLCs, the Remastered version of those products will be available to you without any additional cost. ​

Will I be able to play with all my DLCs?

• Currently, all DLCs until the 2023 release of "Airports" are Remastered. We are currently working on the remastered versions of the remaining DLCs (Plazas & Promenades, Financial Districts and all Content Creator Packs and Radio Stations released fall 2023) They will be available soon!​

Is cross saves between the versions possible?

• No, unfortunately not. The saves will only be available on the version you used when saving your City. ​

Will I be able to unlock all 25 tiles?

• Yes! ​

Is the Remastered only available on PS5 and Xbox X|S

• Yes​

Will PS4 and Xbox One also get remastered?

• No, unfortunately, the Remastered versions will only be available on PS5 and Xbox X|S. One of the main features we wanted to add was 25 tiles to build onto and sadly the older hardware of the PS4 and Xbox One would not be able to handle the simulation scale.​

When will I get access to the new features?

• Release of Cities: Skylines remastered is February 15th! ​

Can I still play my old Cities: Skylines Saves?

• Yes, you can still play the PS4 and Xbox One versions of Cities: Skylines, there you have access to your old saves. ​

If I buy any of the New DLCs that are not remastered yet, will I get them later?

• Yes, any content purchased for either version will give you a free copy of the Remastered version once that piece of content becomes available.​

Will remastered be available for PC?

• This is a Console-only update. The PC version of the game already has similar features that have not been accessible to the Console community - until now! ​

Will I have access to the remastered version automatically?

• You need to download the remastered version of the base game and your DLCs manually, but they will be available without any additional cost automatically. ​

Why can't we have cross-saves?

• The architecture of Cities: Skylines Remastered is different from its predecessor, to be able to accommodate Higher graphic quality, increased buildable tiles and overall better performance. Because of the technical limitations of old-gen consoles, we could not apply the same changes to that version, meaning it's two different code bases for the games - hence cross saves are not possible. ​

Can I upgrade my current Cities to the Remastered version?

• See the answer above regarding save games and cross saves. ​

I can't access Remastered in Japan!

• The release of Remastered on PS5 in the Japanese store is slightly delayed, it will be available soon! ​

I am still on xbox one. I would by an s series and would be willing to buy x/s version of base game however I cannot afford to by all the dlcs again. Do you only get the remastered version of base game/dlcs that you already own as x/s version or will it recognise I own them on xbox one?

If you own the base game on an Xbox One you will be able to claim the remastered version for free on an Xbox Series X or S, along with any DLC you own.

 

[IceDree]

I can answer the first question for you, quick resume works for CS on Series X/S.

Excellent news, it'll make switching between the two game for measurements a breathe.

Thank you!
