Play your way, progress faster: the Mayor's Pass is now all about you.

Greetings, Mayors!

Starting with the upcoming season, we are introducing a major evolution to how progression works in SimCity BuildIt. Over the years, we have heard your thoughts on the rhythm of our seasons—how daily life, competitive weekends, and personal schedules intersect with your city-building goals.

Our goal with this system update is simple: give you clearer paths to the rewards you want, whether you are checking in casually throughout the week or aiming for the very top of the leaderboards. These changes will go live on the 14th alongside the launch of the brand-new season.

 

Clearer Roles for Every Task

Starting with the new season, we are drawing a clear distinction between how you earn seasonal rewards and how you compete against other Mayors:

• Mayor’s Pass Progression: Your regular daily and weekly city tasks will now be dedicated specifically to moving you forward along the Mayor’s Pass track. Completing these familiar assignments will reward your daily commitment with steady, meaningful progress toward unlocking seasonal landmarks and currencies. 
• Contest of Mayors: Leaderboard competition will now be driven solely by bonus tasks. This change gives competitive players greater agency and control over when and how they participate, allowing you to focus your energy on tournament placement on your own terms.

A Smoother, More Predictable Journey

We have also refined the overall flow across all Mayor’s Pass tiers. Progress throughout the season will now feel smoother from beginning to end, offering a steady pace as you advance toward the top milestones. In particular, daily tasks have received a significant boost in points, creating an even balance between your daily check-ins and weekly tasks. Whether you pop in for a few minutes each day or prefer longer play sessions across the week, you will have a dependable, rewarding path toward your seasonal rewards.

 

Additionally, the weekly point limit has been significantly increased so that it no longer stands in your way during your most active play sessions.
