Generation Streets is finally released. Game is now free to play.

In free version of the game, only limited territories are available to load. To get access to rest of the planet, see DLC Global Access.

Preparing to release. Changing monetization model

February 3, 2020

This month Generation Streets will be finally released. Also, monetization model will be changed. The game will become free with ability to load only limited territory of the map. Rest of the world map will be available via DLC. If you already purchased the game, nothing will change for you, you will automatically become owner of DLC. If you're planing to purchase the game, you probably may want to wait until it will be released, get it for free and purchase DLC later, if needed. Estimated price of DLC may slightly higher from current price of the game.
