Build the city of your dreams, and your graphics card’s nightmares, in hyper-shiny mayoral sim City Masterplan
Newly formed developer 1:1 Studio has announced their debut game, City Masterplan, an ambitious citybuilder featuring impressive visual fidelity and commitment to scale. The game promises “true 1:1 scale” construction across sprawling 24x24km maps, allowing players to build cities at genuine proportions rather than abstracted representations.
The game’s headline features include elimination of traditional grid-based constraints for greater urban planning freedom, realistic traffic simulation, detailed logistic networks, and extensive architectural asset libraries. However, the game’s visual ambition comes with significant technical demands. Recommended system specifications list high-end hardware including the RTX 3090, Radeon RX 6900 XT, and Ryzen 7 5800 processors, indicating substantial computational resources are required. Notably, minimum system requirements remain “Pending,” suggesting the developer continues optimizing performance targets.
City Masterplan currently lacks a confirmed release date but has established a Steam storefront. The positioning suggests 1:1 Studio is targeting the PC gaming enthusiast segment with powerful hardware, prioritizing visual presentation and simulation depth over broad accessibility.
