GAMESCOM: Cities Skylines is ‘first to console’ on Xbox One

MCV Staff 4th August 2015 Business News

Microsoft has announced that hit PC title Cities Skylines is coming to consoles – and it will be on Xbox One before other platforms.

The city simulator was a surprise hit on PC earlier this year and is sure to find a big audience among console gamers.

It’s not the only simulation game coming ‘first to console’ on Xbox One, either – the Train Simulator series is doing exactly the same thing.

Also confirmed for the platform is Ron Gilbert’s Thimbleweed Park, as well as Shelter – which is actually going to be released on the console, via Team 17, later today. Starbound will also hit Xbox One later this year.

[Industry news] Core Keeper’s ancient Core becomes a one of a kind gaming PC, to be won for charity

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
