Cities: Skylines PC requirements, includes Mac and Linux demands

Alright, so Colossal Order thinks they can mend our broken city builder hearts with Cities: Skylines next month, March 10th. What demands are they going to make of our Mayoral PCs to achieve this?

The studio has released the PC requirements and it’s 64-bit OS or go home. You’re going to need 4GB RAM and at least 512MB VRAM, but a healthier 2GB VRAM is recommended.

Cities: Skylines can handle up to a million individual ‘Cims’ (Citizens in Motion?) as they’ve been dubbed by the community, and that means you’re going to need some horsepower to let the city dwellers go about their daily lives. To that end it’s been built for 64-bit operating systems.
