About the Game
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

Official update history
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 strongly recommended that you update the game if you have Mini Metro installed.
- Bug fix for macOS players running Metal that caused the game to freeze when re-focusing the game window after switching to a window that covers the game window.
- Updated the credits list.
Mini Metro now runs on Unity 2022.3. This unfortunately requires macOS Mojave, and no longer supports macOS High Sierra. We have preserved the previous version of the game for players on macOS 10.13 who are unable to upgrade. If you are in this position, follow these steps to switch to that version:
- 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 ”

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!
