Play Anno 1800 in the cloud
Want to play Anno 1800 but don't have a gaming PC? Rent a cloud rig by the hour, install Anno 1800 with your own Steam account, and play it from any browser.
Anno 1800 runs beautifully on a rented RigRentals rig. Because it's a single-player title, it works great through our built-in launcher — you sign in with your own Steam account, it installs, and you play. No gaming hardware of your own required.
The RTX 4090 rig at $2.00/hr is our recommended tier for Anno 1800 — it delivers high-end 1440p/4K gaming with ray tracing and DLSS.

Which rig for Anno 1800?
A late-game economy with several islands running at once is one of the heaviest CPU loads in any builder, and it slows a mid-range machine to a crawl.
Worth knowing before you start
About 60 GB, so it needs a small storage add-on. Another PC exclusive -- there's no way to play it on a console.
