Article Summary
- Paradox unveils Economy 2.0 for Cities: Skylines II, promising a more complex economic system.

Paradox Interactive has revealed new details to the next major update added to Cities: Skylines II, as they explained how Economy 2.0 works. The team created an entire thread on their forums explaining all of the details about how this works out, along with more info about the upkeep being maintained on the game. These improvements were designed to make it easier to operate your city and also not run yourself into the ground. That said, some of the people who have been speedrunning this game will discover it will take longer to achieve a few things, as it should be, since no city is made overnight. We have some notes below as the finer details are found on those two links.
Cities: Skylines II – Economy 2.0
Before we get into all of those we have one important note to add for existing saves: Your city will experience a temporarily increased death rate. Since the dev diary detailing what you can expect to happen with your saves, we have made changes to when citizens die. The changes add more variety so you don't end up with a very large amount of seniors who all die around the same time. But to prevent these large future death waves, your city will need to say goodbye to some of its existing citizens.
Additionally, we have added a Tile Upkeep cost since the dev diaries, which you will want to keep an eye on, especially if you have used Unlock All or mods to unlock all map tiles. Cities that have unlocked tiles gradually as they become available through milestones are expected to be able to afford the land they own (perhaps with some adjustments to taxes and service budgets), but if your city is still small and has unlocked most of the map, you may want to enable Unlimited Money.
