If Town to City isn’t a game that’s already on your radar, it absolutely should be.
Developed by Galaxy Grove and published by Kwalee, Town to City is a charming cosy city builder that launched last year.
It combines the charm of Stardew Valley with the voxel-based gameplay of Minecraft, as players move to an idyllic 19th century Mediterranean town.
Your goal is to help the town prosper into a flourishing city. You’ll freely place and form buildings with complete creative autonomy over every step of the process.

Don’t let the phrase ‘city builder’ put you off as it’s not typically a genre I dip my toe into either, but Town to City is so absolutely gorgeous that I’d urge you to give this game a try.
The reviews already speak for themselves.
Town to City is sitting at ‘Overwhelmingly Positive’ on PC storefront Steam with 97% positive reviews. There’s no critical consensus yet as the game is in early access.
It’s currently only available on Steam, but I’m really hoping we could see it expand to other platforms when the 1.0 launch eventually arrives.
In the meantime though, Town to City is welcoming in a hefty new free update.
The Terraforming Update is due to land this month.
It’ll allow players to craft the landscape using a new paintbrush tool that can create rises and dips in the terrain, plus there are new props to play with. You’ll soon be able to build a playground, for example.
New bridges are set to be introduced alongside several quality of life features.
Undo brushing, quick decoration removal, and collision free decorating are just a few key examples.
As I said, the update is due to land in March although an exact date has not yet been announced.
Players are already delighted by what’ll soon be on offer though.
“Perfect time to start a new playthrough,” wrote one viewer of the update’s trailer.
“Wow. I can’t wait for this,” added another.
If you do decide to pick up Town to City, it’s currently on offer on Steam until 16 March. It’ll set you back £18.69 instead of £21.99, saving you 15%.
If you’re not quite ready to commit, you can also find a free demo on the game’s Steam listing.
Beyond the Terraforming Update, a small spring micro update is in the works with seasonal decorations included.
After that, the game’s 1.0 launch and Big Expanded Campaign Update are due to land in Q2 of this year, so we’re talking April to June.
Another major update is then planned in the second half of 2026. This game is going from strength to strength.
