The popular city-builder had sold 3.5 million copies as of March 2017, suggesting it's raked in another 1.5 million sales over the past year. 

At the time of release, Skylines became publisher Paradox's fastest selling title ever, selling 250,000 units within 24 hours of launch. It eventually went on to sell over 2 million copies during its first year.
