A museum charging admission for the roller coaster
Two Point Studios will release Rides & Relics on October 8 for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The Nintendo Switch 2 version will follow later, with no specific date yet.
The expansion turns part of the museum into an amusement park. Players can design custom coasters across five themes, adjusting height, tilt and camber, adding chains or boosters and placing supports. These are not animated props. They become part of management and the visitor experience, with maintenance, queues and economic consequences of their own.
Riquetti Gardens is the new location, built over a long-abandoned park. Its five-star campaign revolves around reopening the site, satisfying the Department of Amusement and making engineering, preservation and queues coexist without burning through the budget.
What the expansion adds
Beyond coasters, there are expeditions to Gearbox Fairgrounds for blueprints and perks, ten mascots hidden across expedition maps, a new Funfair Expert staff type and more than 15 exhibits. Gift shops receive new stock, while hedges, fences and landscaping expand outdoor design.
Management gets a Thrill stat. Rides generate knowledge and excitement while increasing how long visitors want to stay, how many tickets they buy and how much they spend in the shop. They will presumably create the sort of queues capable of ruining a perfect floor plan too.
A helipad, ticket desk, benches and bins join the utility set. Those additions are less spectacular than a coaster, but Two Point's smaller systems are often what separate a pretty build from one that still works when hundreds of guests arrive.
The combination makes sense
Two Point Museum already treats an exhibition as entertainment. Rides do not discard that idea but push it further: one room can teach guests about an artifact and the next can turn its theme into an entire experience. The base game joined the PS Plus Extra and Premium catalog in August, a sensible way to try it before buying the expansion.
The risk is losing the museum identity and ending up with a miniature theme-park simulator. Knowledge, expeditions and restoration appear designed to keep coasters tied to research, collecting and Two Point's ridiculous historical context.
SEGA did not list a universal price in the announcement, so check the relevant platform store before October 8. It also lands in a busy month. Our guide to the best games of October 2026 puts the rest of the calendar in order.
