Play SimCity BuildIt on PC or Mac

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.

SimCity BuildIt is a slow-burn city builder where the player is the mayor and every road, factory, and service choice matters. It starts simple with a few houses, then turns into a balancing act of taxes, traffic, power, water, fire coverage, and all the little city fixes that keep citizens from grumbling. Buildings upgrade when the player crafts goods in factories, so there is a loop of setting production, coming back to collect, and using those items to grow neighborhoods. The fun is in shaping the skyline with parks, bridges, and landmarks from real places, then pushing out toward the beach or up into the hills. Different regions flip the look and resource rules, so a snowy town and a sunny coastal city can live side by side without feeling the same.

There is a social side too. Trading with others helps fill tricky material gaps, clubs are there for chat and team help, and the game has a competitive streak with weekly tasks that hand out useful rewards. Club battles get goofy in a good way, since players fling disasters at each other for loot and bragging rights. Trains come in later as another system to upgrade and route for better supplies. On PC with BlueStacks, the bigger screen and a mouse make dragging roads and placing buildings feel clean, and it is easy to let timers run while doing something else in another window. It is free to play, always online, and it nudges toward spending, but patient play works fine if someone likes planning and tinkering.

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.
