Monopoly is back with a fresh look and an improved game experience that brings the best parts of tabletop gaming to life. If you like the classic board game, you have the choice of playing with the classic look or enjoy exploring the amazing and gorgeous 3D city with neighborhoods that go from day to night for up to 6 players at a time!
It truly is a living board with people walking the streets, birds flying above, helicopters passing, cars and other props roaming around that you can explore when it is your turn! You can also customize your dice with 11 options available that are unlocked by completing objectives, same with tokens and skins. So be sure to explore. If you are a true die hard fan, you can also play in classic mode which is similar to the original board.
PLATFORMS
Available for the Nintendo Switch, PS4 and PS5, Xbox One and Series X/S,
PC (Steam, Epic, Ubiconnect), Luna, and GfN
Developed by Engine Software and published by Ubisoft, MONOPOLY is the next-gen and the most faithful version of the famous board game, offering a truly fun experience.
TIPS
For a faster-paced game, play with 4 players or use the Speed Die, and activate the Goal Cards for quicker sessions. If you’re up against AI, you can skip their turns to keep the pace up!
If you are unhappy with the situation or want to make a statement, you can flip the board!
Discover hidden tokens as you explore the city, and complete challenges to unlock dice skins. Fully customize your game gear to show off your style.
Modify or skip interactions to fit your control and gameplay preferences. Check out the remapping options in the settings to adjust your controls to your liking.
