Evaluation
Mini Metro launched on November 6, 2015 and has received a steady stream of updates over the years, including new game modes, map additions, Steam Workshop support, and quality-of-life improvements. On July 24, 2023, the studio released the Miniversary Update — a major milestone celebrating Mini Metro's 10th anniversary — which added three new maps (Tokyo, Lisbon, and Warsaw), a photo mode, and GIF capture. In August 2025, Creative Mode — previously added to Mini Metro in 2018 — was highlighted as now being fully available across both Mini Metro and Mini Motorways. In October 2025, the developer pushed a security patch to keep the game up to date. Most recently, on June 4, 2026, Dinosaur Polo Club confirmed that Singapore (the winner of a player-voted map competition) will be coming to Mini Metro in Q3 2026, alongside a language update. This means new content is actively confirmed and on the way.

About this 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
