Overview

Planet Zoo 2 positions itself as a broader, more lifelike take on the zoo-building genre, and this Xbox Series X edition is aimed at players who want to design rather than simply manage. The distinguishing pitch is scope. Where the original centred on land habitats, the sequel folds in aquatic tanks and flying aviaries, so a single park can now span reef sharks below the surface, toucans in the canopy and lions on the ground. The animal roster mixes returning favourites like the Western Chimpanzee with new species, and the source material stresses authentic behaviours — herding, grazing on provided vegetation, and expressive movements framed as a generational leap in detail. It is squarely a sandbox for creative builders and animal enthusiasts.

On the construction side, the toolkit is the real draw. Aviaries assemble from barriers, support poles and dynamic mesh covers that let birds fly freely; aquariums come in freshwater or saltwater varieties; and Wildlife Reserves extend the loop outward into customisable global ecosystems tied to conservation goals. Nine scenery themes — four new sets inspired by iconic world architecture and five carried over from Planet Zoo — supply an expansive library across multiple biomes. The trade-off of this depth is complexity, and the feature list says more about creative range than about pacing, tutorials or how the campaign holds together over time. Buyers drawn to open-ended building will find plenty of promise here.

Key Features

AWE-INSPIRING ANIMALS - Discover a diverse roster of animal species, each with their own needs & behaviours. New faces join familiar favourites like the Lion and Western Chimpanzee to create iconic zoo rosters in jaw-dropping detail. Construct beautiful habitats for your animals to thrive in as they interact with the world around them in authentic ways. From authentic herding behaviours to grazing on the vegetation you provide for them. Experience a generational leap of animal detail and immersion with incredible natural movements and expressive emotions that bring each animal to life like never before.
