Cities Skylines Switch 2 DLC consists of ten packs in Expanded Edition: After Dark, Snowfall, Green Cities, Sunset Harbor, Map Pack 3, Country Road, Pearls from the East, Deep Focus Radio, Carols, Candles & Candy and Match Day. All ten come with the game at no extra charge.
Four are major gameplay expansions. The other six add maps, rural roads, landmarks, music and football activities. The original Switch version already included After Dark and Snowfall, so those two will be familiar to returning players.

The table above contains the complete Cities Skylines Switch 2 DLC list. It isn’t the entire collection of content released on PC over the years, but the specific ten-pack bundle sold for Switch 2.
What do the four big expansions add?
After Dark brings nightlife, leisure and tourism specialisations. Snowfall adds winter maps, heating systems and trams. Both were included with the original Nintendo Switch edition in 2018.
Green Cities brings eco-friendly buildings and policies, while Sunset Harbor adds fishing and harbour-related features. These are the two biggest new gameplay expansions for players coming from the older Switch edition.
What is in the six smaller Cities Skylines Switch 2 DLC packs?
Map Pack 3 provides ten mountain-themed maps, three scenarios and ten intersection assets. Country Road offers rural road assets, while Pearls from the East adds Asian-inspired landmark buildings. They help you choose a distinctive setting for your next city.
Deep Focus Radio and Carols, Candles & Candy add in-game music, including festive tracks in the second pack. Match Day adds football stadium activity. They are enjoyable extras rather than major simulation expansions.
Does Cities Skylines Switch 2 DLC include everything from PC?
No. Cities Skylines Switch 2 DLC includes the ten items listed above, not every pack sold on PC. Holiday Getaways, Mansions & Manors and Blueprint Beats Radio launched for PC, PlayStation and Xbox separately from the Switch 2 package.
If you want one particular expansion, check the table before purchasing. Expanded Edition is the name of this bundle, not a promise that every previous Cities: Skylines add-on is included.
Do you have to download or pay for each pack?
There are no additional charges for these ten packs. Nintendo lists Expanded Edition as a 6.0 GB download, with the add-ons included in the game. After installing it, you’ll find the new maps, buildings and radio content in the relevant parts of city-building.
Some content appears only where it makes sense. Snowfall’s heating and winter systems belong on winter maps, for example, while Map Pack 3 supplies locations to choose from when beginning a city.
What is new compared with the original Switch game?
The original Switch game bundled After Dark and Snowfall. Expanded Edition keeps both and adds eight other packs, 25 buildable tiles instead of nine, a map editor and new graphics options. The extra building area is part of the edition itself, not a separate DLC purchase.
Owners of the original Switch release qualify for 70% off Expanded Edition until 28 April 2027. That discount gets you the complete new version with all ten packs; it isn’t a free update to the older game.
Which Cities Skylines Switch 2 DLC should you play first?
For a different type of industry, try Sunset Harbor’s fishing features. If you’d rather develop greener districts, start with Green Cities. And if the landscape is what inspires you, choose one of Map Pack 3’s mountain maps. The other additions add variety as the city grows.
Does the bundle need a season pass?
You don’t need a season pass to access the ten bundled packs. The Cities Skylines Switch 2 DLC collection is included whether you buy Expanded Edition at the normal price or with the owner discount.
Where to find the included content
New maps are chosen when you start a city, music packs appear among the radio choices and buildings belong in their relevant construction categories. You can combine the included packs in the same city where their features apply.
