Description


In Mini Metro, you take on the task of designing the subway layout for a rapidly expanding city. Your city starts with three stations. Draw routes between these stations to connect them with subway lines. Commuters travel along your lines to get around the city as fast as they can. Each station can only hold a handful of waiting commuters so your subway network will need to be well-designed to avoid delays.


The city is growing. More stations are opening, and commuters are appearing faster. The demands on your network are ever-increasing. You'll be constantly redesigning your lines to maximise efficiency. The new assets you earn every week will help immensely — as long as they're used wisely.


Eventually your network will fail. Stations will open too quickly. Commuters will crowd the platforms. How long the city keeps moving is up to you.

Key Features

  • Compelling, constructive, hectic, relaxed gameplay. If that makes sense. It doesn't though, aye? You just gotta play it.
  • Three game modes: Normal for quick scored games, Endless for stress-free sandbox play, and Extreme for the ultimate challenge.
  • Build your metro exactly how you want to with the all-new Creative mode.
  • Over two dozen real-world cities! Design subways for London, Paris, New York City, Osaka, Saint Petersburg, São Paulo, Istanbul, Auckland and many more! Each has a unique colour theme, set of obstacles, and pace.
  • Random city growth, so each game plays out differently. A strategy that proved successful last game may not help you in the next.
  • Each game's map is a work of art, built by you in the classic abstract subway style of Harry Beck. If you think it's a keeper, save it, tweet it, show it off, or make it your desktop background!
  • Responsive soundtrack created by your metro system, engineered by Disasterpeace.
  • Colorblind and night modes.
  • Trains! Did we mention them yet?
  • Vast library of player-created maps for you to explore in Steam Workshop!

"Mini Metro’s clean, stylish interface encourages me over and over again to make the trains run on time, and there’s a deeper amount of strategy to growing a sprawling metro system than meets the eye. I wasn’t just hypnotized by the rhythmic movement of trains from station to station, I was completely absorbed in making them perfect." - IGN

Amazing game! It mixes logical decisions, with amazing maps. It's a calm and relaxing game. I'm loving to play in multiple maps (specially in Tokyo, London and São Paulo). There are many metros that I've experienced in

I played it in my free time on my smartphone for several years, so now I plan to get all the achievements on my PC. Very often, great things are extremely simple, and this simulator is no exception, yeah.)

I can't remember exactly when I played Mini Metro for the first time - it was probably over 15 years ago and definitely not on Steam. It almost certainly was a browser version back then. Mini Metro is fantastic - an

Oh man, does an optimization puzzle game centered around trains sound fun to you? It did to me, and I’m happy to say that this game scratches a special little autistic itch in my brain that not many other games have.

On the whole, I found this to be a fun game that is excellent for killing twenty to thirty minutes. The gameplay has a fast pace, and you constantly need to be aware of what assets you have and what assets you need. I
