If you stop and think about it, managing traffic signals requires a lot of planning and observation. Many real-world tasks and careers have provided inspiration for video games over the years. However, rather than taking the dry simulation approach as many of their contemporaries would, Polish developer Baltoro made a cooperative puzzle game instea...

A while back, Baltoro Games announced that Urban Flow, the traffic management puzzle game, would be heading to multiple platforms after first launching on Switch. Time has passed, roads have been laid and rerouted, and the prediction has finally come to pass: Urban Flow has launched on Xbox. At last, up to four local Xbox players can work together to manage traffic lights, let cars through busy intersections, and avoid deadly collisions.

Directing traffic in real life seems like it would be challenging and unfun. One wrong mistake and a bus full of nuns drives right off a bridge. There wasn't even a bridge there! Anyway, difficult jobs can make for fun games, as is the case with Urban Flow from Baltoro Games. This local co-op puzzle game of managing the traffic signals at busy intersections first launched on Switch, but it's finally coming to other platforms this year.
