Ultimate Fishing Simulator is a realistic fishing game, using the latest computer technology, advanced water system, photo-realistic graphics, complex fish AI and much more!

Cross the boundless seas and oceans, discover the deepest recesses of rivers and lakes! Whether you are a fisherman or not - it doesn’t matter, this game is for everyone!

Show patience and care when hunting BIG fish! Do not think it will be easy.

This game is for everyone! Choose your fishing technique and try your luck fishing in different parts of the world. From the tiny roaches to the huge marlins!

The creators of the game prepared several dozen of fish species including not only the small ones (e.g. crucian and bluegill) but also the larger ones (e.g. Atlantic blue marlin). In the case of fishing in open water, it will be possible to choose between several different boats including yacht and motorboat. Ultimately it is planned to make available 7 or 8 fishing grounds, which have been created on the basis of fishing grounds from all over the world, so that the maps will have diversified ecosystem which will provide great diversity.

At the beginning player will be given for use only single particular elements of fishing equipment. As part of the progress the player will be given points of experience and virtual money which will influence the development of a character, unlocking points of abilities (necessary e.g. to use a boat or for ice fishing) and purchase of other elements of fishing equipment.


Ultimate Fishing Simulator VR will debut on Steam Early Access starting August 30, 2019, and will be compatible with various virtual reality systems (HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, Windows Mixed Reality, Valve Index and Pimax), but the developer does not exclude the possibility of extending this list in the future when new VR systems will appear on the market.

Ultimate Fishing Simulator is the best and highest rated fishing game on the market. Out of care for the final quality, in the case of the VR edition, we decided to release it in the Early Access formula. The content of Ultimate Fishing Simulator VR is basically ready, so the early access phase will not last too long. This should be more or less a few weeks and during this time we will refine individual elements in terms of the specificity of VR systems, taking into account, of course, also comments made by players. We want Ultimate Fishing Simulator VR in the most optimal way to combine the advantages of the traditional version and the new possibilities offered by virtual reality systems” says the CEO of Ultimate Games S.A., Mateusz Zawadzki.

Ultimate Games S.A. indicates that the VR edition will offer the same content as Ultimate Fishing Simulator. Importantly, Ultimate Fishing Simulator VR can also be played without using VR goggles. As Mateusz Zawadzki notes, players interested in the VR version who already have the “regular” version will be able to buy an add-on that extends the game with VR support.

A very important part of Ultimate Fishing Simulator is multiplayer mode of the game, option of creation of the player’s own fishing grounds and equipment. At the beginning the online competition will be possible, among others, in First Catch mode (the player who catches a fish first wins) and Total Weight mode (the biggest total weight of caught fishes decides on the win).

Players will be given access to detailed statistics concerning catch and global results and their own trophy room. The producer announces that ultimately occasional challenges including tournaments for all players will be held. It is planned, among others, to make it possible for the players to spend time in one room (public or private) where they will be able to use chat and obtain data in the matter of fishing.
