What's in it

  • A native title. Its own icon on the home screen, 1080p at 60 frames per second, the game's music and sounds, and saves and settings kept on the console.
  • Made for the controller. The left stick or the touchpad moves a pointer that slows down over buttons, the d-pad jumps between buttons and steps through lists, sliders and dropdowns, L1 and R1 switch tabs, and the bottom of the screen shows what each button does right now.
  • Radial menus. Options opens the build tools and Triangle the park windows in a ring in the middle of the screen: hold, point with the stick, let go.
  • Building on the controller. Track and bridge paths go down piece by piece with the d-pad and Cross, with banking on L1 and R1 and the chain lift on Triangle. Scenery is raised and lowered with the d-pad.
  • Your game files from a browser. On the first start the console shows an address and a QR code. Send the GOG installer (its .exe and .bin together; the console unpacks it in about a minute and a half), the game folder, or a ZIP file of it.
