How to Unlock San Francisco Set in Cities: Skylines 2

To unlock the San Francisco set, you must purchase the Ultimate Edition from the Steam Store. There is no other way to get it as the DLC is not sold separately.
Thankfully, once you purchase the Ultimate Edition, the San Francisco map will be immediately available and you can start playing there.
Everything Included in the San Francisco Set

If you’re trying to decide whether the San Francisco map is worth it, here’s everything included in this specific set:
- A San Francisco map
- The iconic Golden Gate Bridge building
- A garage building for muscle cars
- Five unique muscle car designs
- One new police vehicle themed to the city of San Francisco
Overall, there is a wide variety of new additions. However, since you can’t purchase this DLC separately, to fully decide if it’s worth it, it’s helpful to know what else is included in the Ultimate Edition.
