Planet Coaster will be the new destination for everyone who cares about creative gaming, coaster parks and involving management sims.

Planet Coaster will offer the best-ever ways to express your creativity, total freedom to make your park unique, sophisticated park management gameplay, expressive and charming crowds, and a new connected global village where players can share their creations with the Planet Coaster community.

Be inspired and inspire others as you create, manage and share the world’s greatest coaster parks with friends and content creators around the world.

It’s the most sophisticated park simulation in gaming history, and you’re the boss!

Each guest is an expressive individual who thinks, feels and explores your parks with their own interests, desires and cash in their pocket. They even have their own language.

The colourful characters react in an instant as you control every aspect of your parks, and together they tell you at a glance just how well you’re doing as you build your coaster empire.

Test your park management skills; use your business acumen to survive and thrive in 'Challenge mode', complete scenarios to build your reputation as you rise through the ranks in 'Career mode' or simply create beautiful parks with unlimited resources in 'Sandbox mode'.

You’re the creator in a world full of fun, excitement and celebration!

The Summer Update is Planet Coaster’s third major expansion, following December’s Winter Update and April’s Spring Update, with each season bringing new creative, management and sharing opportunities for Planet Coaster players.

Fireworks are an explosive new way to customize parks in Planet Coaster’s Summer Update. Celebrate the Fourth of July, New Year, Bonfire Night or any other occasion with the most detailed fireworks simulation ever created for a videogame. Design epic firework displays with the new Display Sequencer, trigger them alongside other park events, and even choreograph them to custom music! Create the ultimate sky-high summer spectacle, or download the most explosive displays from the Planet Coaster community.

New Video and Image Scenery unlocks the ultimate in creative customization for Planet Coaster players. Fully customizable wall panels and screens let players place their own images and video into Planet Coaster and create parks unlike any other.

And give a boost to every ride with the new Flatride Sequencer and Painted Wooden Coasters. Take total control over your favorite rides, and give your wooden coasters a whole new look with a lick of paint.

The Planet Coaster Summer Update also feature more flatrides, new coasters, new scenarios, custom biomes and the Stars and Stripes scenery pack, alongside a host of game fixes and quality-of-life improvements.
