Cities: Skylines Expanded Edition Launches on Nintendo Switch 2 With 10 DLC Packs Included
Paradox Interactive has brought its landmark city builder to Nintendo’s new hardware in one complete package. Cities: Skylines – Expanded Edition has launched on Nintendo Switch 2, bundling the base game with ten pieces of downloadable content covering years of expansions and add-ons.
The edition includes four full expansions: After Dark, which brings nightlife and leisure districts; Snowfall, with winter cities and temperature management; Green Cities, focused on eco-friendly building; and Sunset Harbor, built around fishing and coastal industry. Alongside them come Map Pack 3, the Country Road and Pearls from the East content packs, the Match Day stadium content, the Carols, Candles & Candy holiday pack, and the Deep Focus Radio station.
The Switch 2 version also adds interface touches built for the platform. An environmental controls panel lets players adjust the time of day, rain, fog and environmental coloring in real time, so a mayor can watch their city shift from a rainy dawn to a clear afternoon at the push of a button. A quick selection tool swaps between essential tools and assets, streamlining the building controls for console play.
Cities: Skylines has been the standard-bearer for modern city builders since its original release, handing players a blank map and the full responsibilities of a mayor: roads, zoning, power, water, public services, transit and taxes, all simulated citizen by citizen. Paradox Interactive, the Swedish publisher behind strategy and management series including Stellaris, Europa Universalis, Crusader Kings and Hearts of Iron, has supported the game with a deep catalogue of content for more than a decade.
For Switch 2 owners, the Expanded Edition is the most complete version of the game ever offered on a Nintendo platform, arriving as a single purchase rather than a base game followed by a long list of add-ons.

The Straw Hat Crew is getting into the restaurant business. One Piece: Grand Gourmet, a restaurant-management simulation from developer Kairosoft and publisher Bandai Namco Entertainment, has launched worldwide for Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PC via Steam, iOS and Android.
Players take charge of Baratie Number Two, the Straw Hat Crew’s floating eatery, with Sanji, the crew’s famously devoted cook, installed as head chef. In classic Kairosoft fashion, the game blends approachable management systems with deep customization: more than 400 One Piece characters appear as staff and customers, and over 200 decoration items let players design a restaurant that matches their own taste, from the layout of the dining room to the menu it serves.
The simultaneous worldwide launch is unusual for a licensed anime title, which often staggers Japanese and Western releases by weeks or months. Bandai Namco instead released Grand Gourmet globally on a single day across five platforms, bringing the game to console, PC and mobile audiences at once. On PC, the game is priced at €19.99 on Bandai Namco’s European store, with US pricing reported at $19.99.
Kairosoft has spent decades perfecting the cozy management sim, building a catalogue of pixel-art business games covering everything from game studios to hot springs resorts, and Grand Gourmet applies that formula to one of the biggest entertainment franchises in the world. For One Piece fans, the appeal is in the details: hundreds of familiar faces walking through the door of a restaurant you built, with Sanji running the kitchen the way only Sanji would.
One Piece: Grand Gourmet is available now on Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, Steam, the App Store and Google Play.
