It bears noticing that you still have to own a copy of Cities: Skylines 2 to be able to stream it through the cloud on GeForce Now. The service works by linking to your respective Steam, Xbox, or Epic Games Store accounts. Given how the title in question is up for purchase on Steam and PC, a purchase on either of those platforms is required. Once done, the linking process is plain and simple.

Unfortunately, the simulator title hasn’t made that great of an impression upon its release. It’s a major upgrade over its predecessor all right, but performance issues are running all over it at the moment, as player reports come pouring in. For what it’s worth, the devs have created a performance troubleshooting guide on r/CitiesSkylines—a subreddit dedicated to the title. Best check that out to see if any of it helps.
Cities: Skylines 2 came out on October 24, 2023, for only PC, with Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 versions currently in development and planned for release sometime in 2024. At the moment, though, you can get city-builder on PC through PC Game Pass and Steam. eXputer gave the game a 3.5/5 in its in-depth review, citing its performance problems, and lacking content to be some big missteps.
