Players of Cities: Skylines on the xBox One and PS4 will be pleased to hear that the Industries Expansion is now available for you. Industries is the most in-depth expansion ever for Cities. You can build factories, customize areas of industry and create supply chains for four different types of industry. There’s also a brand-new radio station for you to listen to, with the free gameplay update.
It’s a big expansion, that gives you the ability to create your own powerful industry. Mine or harvest resources and turn them into luxury items, cars, electronics, and ship them off to your stores, or fly them to other cities. The full produce supply chain is yours to manage.
