    It is in good shape. The last patch was a step in the right direction. If you have game pass try it out. If you are on fence, wait. I think in the next 6 months it is going to be brilliant 😀

    It’s playable and pretty fun, it definitely feels like it chugs more than it should. Though the recent patch has improved that somewhat.

    My 3080 running at 3440x1440 seems to sit around 50-60fps most of the time

        I’m running it on my 1070, and by tweaking some settings I have been able to squeeze out a playable 40-ish fps.

        The game is quite unoptimized, but you don’t need a 3080 in order to get playable framerates.
        A 1050ti might be on the low side, but I don’t think it would have to be entirely unplayable.

        (My bigger issue with the game in its current state is the lack of official mod support. I’m looking forward to that being added down the line)

          Ehhh that card is over 7 years old now. I’d say thats pretty amazing performance for a GPU that old.

          Back in my day if you wanted to play a game that new on a card that old you were playing windowed 640x480 at 20fps.

    It’s pretty alright. As a base game it’s quite good. I think releasing without mod support was a huge mistake. Wait until it has mod support and the map builder. It’s still waaaay more full featured than CS1 was, basically having the industries and mass transit DLCs bundled in.

    I’ve got about 100 hours in and I really enjoy it. Performance isn’t great and it’s gotten a bit crashy now that my city is really big, but the game itself is a lot of fun.

    It’s still fairly rough, although they have pushed several patches that helped significantly improve the absolute trash the game was on launch day.

    Still no modding support, which was originally supposed to be a day-one feature. DLC release also got delayed. Maybe it’ll be a good game by mid to late 2024.

    It’s not in good shape yet despite what others are saying. It should have been released into early access and it’s still got a long way to go to even be classified as a proper simulation game.

    It’s playable but so are a lot of other games that are better than it to spend your time with right now. Personally, I’m pretty disappointed in it and I’m hoping it’ll have a NMS-style turn around.
