Business Simulator 2026

Business Simulator 2026 was developed and published by HOGO Games, an indie studio focused on life and strategy simulations. The game was released on 10 November 2025 in early access, with the developers explicitly planning to refine and expand the experience over time.

At present, Business Simulator 2026 is available for Windows via Steam. There are no announced console or mobile ports, so the game remains focused on the PC simulation market. The early access status gives players a chance to shape its future through feedback and suggestions.

In this simulation, players start with a small amount of capital and aim to build a business empire. You choose which type of business to found, decide on pricing, manage production, set up your shop, and hire staff. As your company grows, you can automate operations, expand into new areas, and invest strategically to outpace your competitors. The game challenges your decision-making skills across marketing, management, and financial planning.

The promotional campaign for the game leaned into community-building and transparency. The developers released a message explaining their early access plan, emphasising their intent to involve players directly in the development process. They set up a Discord for feedback, encouraged testers to share ideas, and made clear that future mechanics and business systems would evolve based on player suggestions.

Reception so far has been very positive among early access players. The user reviews reflect strong support for the core gameplay loop — building and managing a company — and praise for the depth and clarity of its simulation systems. Some players note that while the game is still in its early phase and mechanics are basic, the foundation is promising, and there is optimism about the planned additions and updates.
