From the innovators and creators at ELECTRONIC ARTS, SimCity BuildIt is another fun addition to the World of Simulation games. Go beyond your mobile screen and play it bigger and better on your PC or Mac. An immersive experience awaits you.

About the Game

In SimCity BuildIt, you’re the Mayor with the keys to a growing metropolis. Shape the skyline, keep your citizens smiling, and solve the everyday headaches that come with running a modern city—traffic jams, power outages, you name it. It’s a smart, flexible Simulation from ELECTRONIC ARTS that’s easy to pick up for quick sessions and just as fun to settle into on a bigger screen with BlueStacks.

Game Features

  • Build a real city: Lay down neighborhoods, raise skyscrapers, add parks and bridges, and watch your town evolve block by block.
  • Smart city management: Balance taxes, happiness, and growth. Place services like power, water, police, fire, and health where they’ll do the most good.
  • Tackle real challenges: Untangle traffic, reduce pollution, and plan smarter roads—from broad avenues to streetcars—to keep commuters moving.
  • World-inspired districts: Create Tokyo-, London-, or Paris-style areas and unlock famous landmarks like the Eiffel Tower and the Statue of Liberty.
  • Regions with personality: Expand into places like the tropical Sunny Isles or the icy Frosty Fjords, each with its own look, layouts, and building styles.
  • Future tech and sports: Push into high-tech “Future Cities” options or build out massive stadiums to give your residents something to cheer about.
  • Trains, tracks, and transit: Unlock and upgrade trains and stations, then design a rail network that suits your growing metro.
  • Team play in Mayor’s Clubs: Trade resources, chat strategy, and help each other finish big projects faster.
  • Competitive play: Enter the Contest of Mayors for weekly goals and climb through League ranks by completing challenges.
  • Club Wars and city defense: Coordinate with your Club to battle rival cities and fire off wild disasters—think Disco Twisters and plant monsters—for strategic rewards.
  • Shape the landscape: Carve rivers and lakes, add forests, and stretch your city along beaches or into mountain slopes to make it truly your own.
  • Optional purchases: Includes optional in-game purchases of virtual currency that can be used to acquire virtual items, including some with randomized outcomes.

Make your gaming sessions memorable with precise controls that give you an edge in close combats and visuals that pop up, bringing every character to life.
