Trains or Automobiles? Why not both? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Beep beep! If you’ve been conflicted about whether to design a system of subways or draw up roads that connect a growing metropolis, then worry no more! Both Mini Metro and Mini Motorways are respectively 60% and 30% off, so the only choice you have to make is how to lay out your

Update to resolve Unity security vulnerability
This update only upgrades the Unity version that Mini Metro is built on from 2022.3.60f1 to 2022.3.62f2. This ensures that Mini Metro cannot be used to exploit the recently discovered vulnerability detected in Unity. While no exploits have been picked up yet in the wild, it's str

Mini Metro now runs on Unity 2022.3. This unfortunately requires macOS Mojave, and no longer supports macOS High Sierra.

Right-click on Mini Metro in your Steam library
Select Betas
Open the drop-down in the top left, and select highsierra - macOS 10.13 compatibility branch
Close the window and wait for Mini Metro to update. In your Steam library, it should show up as “Mini Metro [highsierra]”

Happy Birthday! Celebrate 10 Years of Mini Metro with our Miniversary Update!
Happy Birthday, commuters! We can’t believe it’s Mini Metro’s 10th Birthday! And to celebrate 10 years of Mini with our amazing community, we’ve released a massive Miniversary Update across both Mini Metro and Mini Motorways to fill your days with brand-new transport strategy fun
Happy Birthday, commuters! We can’t believe it’s Mini Metro’s 10th Birthday! And to celebrate 10 years of Mini with our amazing community, we’ve released a massive Miniversary Update across both Mini Metro and Mini Motorways to fill your days with brand-new transport strategy fun! New to Mini Metro in this update, we’ve brought over three of our favourite maps from Mini Motorways and their colourful palettes to Mini Metro. Introducing: Tokyo, Lisbon and Warsaw!

From this map’s gorgeous pastel hues to its iconic island geography, take Tokyo’s iconic Metro lines in your own direction with this new map!
Cross the River Vistula and take a turn delivering the Polish capital’s 1.7 million passengers to their destinations in the historic city of Warsaw.
Take a trip to the European coast of Portugal’s capital city, Lisbon. Bordering the brilliant blue waters of the Tagus, how will you reimagine the Metropolitano de Lisboa in this tricky five-line map?
The Miniversary Update also introduces a brand-new photo mode where you can export screenshots of your own metro networks with decorative frames to show off your metro masterpieces. This is also joined by a new GIF capture feature coming to Mini Metro. Export colourful animations of your unique metro networks at any stage in the game to share with friends or just for bragging rights. This update also features various improvements and bug fixes. But that’s not all! If you’re a fan of both games, or have been waiting for an opportunity to take Mini Motorways for a spin, the Miniversary Update might just be the perfect time to join the ride. With three new crossover maps coming to Mini Motorways, direct from Mini Metro, you can reimagine the experience of creating the Metro lines of London, Mumbai and our player-voted map winner New York City. And to make things even more fun, these new maps will also require you to build around an existing railroad network with train stations! It has been an honour and a joy to celebrate the last 10 years of Mini with such an amazing community of players. No matter where you jumped on board, we hope you’ve enjoyed this decade long-journey with us! Who knows where our next destination might take us, but with you there, it’s made the trip well worth it!

It’s hard to believe that Mini Metro has been around for so long that we’re adding maps for metro systems that opened after our game debuted! For our December update, we invite players to explore Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia. The Addis Ababa Light Rail opened in 2015, servicing ten sub-city boroughs. Take control of the first light rail and rapid transit network in sub-Saharan Africa! Addis Ababa is nestled in the shade of Mount Entoto, with tricky terrain for players as they must design a metro that serves the city’s five million residents while weaving around and over the Akaki and Bulbula rivers, as well as their tributaries! This update features:

A brand new map! Connect the five million commuters of Addis Ababa who call Ethiopia’s capital home.
New achievements and challenges!
Fixes to outstanding issues, including:

Fixed a looping audio bug that was affecting some players.
Added a warning every time you replay the Daily Challenge that only the first score is counted.
Fixed some bugs where buttons and UI elements occasionally behaved unusually.
Thanks so much for continuing to enjoy Mini Metro after so many years. It's pretty wild that we're now releasing maps for cities whose rail networks were released after Mini Metro was! :D We're grateful to all of you for your support and we can't wait to see you again in 2022!

Hi, commuters! We're thrilled to share a new map with you all. Enjoy recreating or improving upon Budapest's 126-year-old metro system. This update features...

A brand new map featuring continental Europe’s oldest metro system: Budapest! You can now recreate the iconic metro system of Hungary’s capital, alongside our twenty-five other international maps.
Several improvements to audio quality, including the ability to turn the volume completely off so you can tune into your favourite podcast or playlist while building the metro system of your dreams.
Updated night-mode colours for several of our existing maps such as Auckland, Chicago, Osaka and more.
Improved visuals for our maps with smooth rivers and coastlines including New York City, Saint Petersburg, San Francisco, Cairo and Mumbai!
Thanks so much to everyone who has been enjoying Mini Metro after finding us through Mini Motorways. :) We are excited to see our first game still getting so much love from the community. We're under a pretty strict lockdown in New Zealand right now - seeing people in so many places enjoying Mini Metro helps us feel like we're still part of the world!
