Park Ranger Simulator

Park Ranger Simulator is an open-world simulation game developed by Polygon Art and published by Aerosoft GmbH. It was released in 2026 for Windows and PlayStation 5. The game places players in the role of a park ranger responsible for maintaining and protecting a large national park, combining environmental management with hands-on mission-based tasks.

At launch, the title became available on PC and PlayStation 5, with cross-platform multiplayer support allowing players on both systems to work together. As of release, there have been no confirmed versions for Xbox or Nintendo platforms. There are no separate editions or earlier releases, making this the game’s debut across supported platforms.

Gameplay centres on exploring a broad open world filled with varied landscapes and wildlife. Players carry out ranger duties such as repairing park infrastructure, extinguishing fires, managing animal populations and maintaining visitor facilities. An in-game economy system influences park development, rewarding successful management with new tools and equipment. A range of vehicles, including land and air transport, helps players navigate remote areas and respond to emergencies.

Promotion for Park Ranger Simulator included trailers and pre-release announcements that highlighted its open-world scope, vehicle variety and multiplayer features. Aerosoft and Polygon Art showcased gameplay systems designed to appeal to fans of simulation and management titles. Developer updates and previews through official channels helped build awareness prior to launch.

Following release, community reception has been mixed. While some players appreciate the concept and scale of managing a national park, early user reviews point to technical issues and gameplay concerns. Discussions within the community have focused on potential improvements and updates, reflecting both interest in the theme and criticism of its initial execution.
