If you venture onto Steam and check out the Ultimate Edition there, you will also be offered the Expansion Pass as a complement to the base game.8 DLCs are already included here, which should be released by June 2024.The DLCs are divided into three categories:

sets and extensions

These are packages that bring thematic new content into the game and were created by the developers.Three such packages are planned:

  • Bridges & Ports: This expansion seems to be the largest DLC and brings a total of 100 new assets into play that let you build more beautiful harbors and bridges.These include drawbridges and lighthouses.Release is only in Q2 2024.
  • Beach Properties Pack: This smaller asset pack contains assets related to the beach areas of your city.So you can beautify the coast by putting expensive beach houses there, for example.Release is in Q4 2023.
  • San Francisco Set: This set is only available if you purchase the Expansion Pass (or the Ultimate Edition).Here you get a garage for muscle cars, which spawns five such cars plus a police car.You also get the legendary Golden Gate Bridge.Release is on October 24, 2023.

Content Creator Packs

These extensions include assets created by the community and experienced modders.The packs are chargeable, but the creators get a share of the revenue.Two such packs are planned:

  • Urban Promenades: Apparently a pack that is supposed to bring more variety to the suburbs and provides over 30 new assets for more beautiful promenades.It will be released in Q1 2024.
  • Modern Architecture: This pack also brings over 30 new assets, which primarily provide modern buildings for your big city.It will be released in Q1 2024.

radio stations

These small DLCs do not bring any new buildings, but instead a new radio host and 60 minutes of new background music.Three of these DLCs are planned:

  • Deluxe relaxation station: Release in Q4 2023.
  • Soft rock radio: Release in Q1 2024.
  • Cold Wave Channel: Release in Q2 2024.

How much does all this cost?

There are no individual prices for the DLCs yet.But if you buy the Ultimate Edition with all the extensions mentioned, you have to pay 90 euros instead of 50 euros.So 40 euros more.The Expansion Pass doesn’t actually have a price tag either, but according to Steam you save 22 percent in a bundle with the main game (90 instead of 116 euros).Accordingly, the price without the main game would have to be around 66 euros.
