The creators clarified that each platform will receive an established limit of buildings. According to them, this is due to technical limitations, but for many, this decision may significantly affect the gameplay itself.
Nintendo Switch owners will suffer the most - they will be able to erect a maximum of 250 buildings. On PlayStation 4 and Switch 2, the limit will be 400 buildings. And the most privileged will be players on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S - up to 500 buildings are available there.
The difference in numbers will lead not only to visual differences but also to different gaming experiences depending on the platform. This approach is encountered for the first time in the series.
The main question now sounds like this: will this gap affect the perception of the game? Will a city with 250 buildings on Switch look complete, or will console owners get a truncated version? The answer will become clear only after the release.
