Unleash your creativity and create the town of your dreams
Leamington Spa, UK - September 16, 2025 - UK-based publisher Kwalee and independent developer Galaxy Grove are delighted to announce the launch of Town to City, a cozy and creative citybuilder from the team behind Station to Station. The game is now available in Early Access on PC via Steam.
Town to City’s Early Access version offers a wealth of content for players to dive into, including:
A story-driven campaign with two maps
Sandbox mode with five maps
Eight city stages and six monuments
Over 30 quests to complete
Set in a charming 19th-century world, Town to City lets players create and customise their dream town from scratch. They can place every building, road, and garden exactly where they want, and shape a community that’s truly their own. Town to City lets players play through the story campaign or relax in sandbox mode, building at their own pace whether that means carefully arranging every detail or growing their economy into a thriving city.
To celebrate the launch, a brand new trailer has been released, offering players a detailed look at the game’s vibrant towns, complete with quaint shopfronts, bustling plazas, and cheerful citizens. The trailer also highlights core gameplay features such as population happiness and economic growth, which evolve organically as players add new amenities to their expanding towns.
“We’re incredibly excited to release Town to City! The creativity shown by our demo and beta players has been truly inspiring, and with the community’s feedback we’ve made the game even better. I can’t wait to see what players will build when the game is out, and to keep improving it together!” said Joost van Dongen, Game Director of Town to City.
Town to City is available on Steam for $24.99, €24.99 and £21.99 with an introductory 10% discount in the first week.
Players eager to lay the foundations of their own charming town can also try the free demo ahead of purchase. The demo has already earned an ‘Overwhelmingly Positive’ rating on Steam.

About Town to City
Break free of the grid in Town to City: a cosy city builder that invites you to create a beautiful and bustling community. Freely place houses, shops, and amenities and natural elements to delight your residents and encourage new families to move in. As your population grows, so can your ambitions: create multiple towns that can grow alone or thrive together, helping the whole region develop and prosper.
In the campaign or sandbox mode, you're free to build at your own pace, placing each flower bed with pixel precision or prioritising growing your economy and developing your town into a thriving city.
Shape Your City
Truly grid-less building sets you free to lay out your town however you like. Plan out carefully-ordered rows of houses and city districts, or grow outwards organically with residences, amenities, parks and plazas connected by winding streets and alleys.
Unleash Your Creativity
Beautify your settlement to your heart's content with a plethora of customisation options. Set up lighting, plant flowers and wooded parks, and decorate houses and buildings to complement or contrast. With gorgeous voxel graphics as a base, it's easy to create something beautiful you'll want to capture with the in-game photo mode.
Nurture Your Community
As your town flourishes, you’ll need to meet the needs of your growing population. Provide amenities that will cater for everyone – from farmers and workers to artisans and the bourgeoisie – alongside specific requests by individual residents. Get to know each person as they arrive in town and watch them settle down to form new families in the homes you built for them.
Grow Your Economy
Assign workers to jobs, research new buildings and decorations, and boost your sleepy settlement into a bustling center of commerce. As you expand beyond the bounds of your first town, you'll pursue new developments in farming and tourism by building new towns, all connected by trade and travel routes.
Key Features
- Full Campaign and Sandbox Modes
- Truly grid-less city building tools
- Town and citizen management
- Rich customisation
- Research Trees
- Photo Mode
- Beautiful Voxel art style
- Relaxing Soundtrack
