Game Dev Tycoon lets you experience game development history first-hand, from the passionate garage development of the 80s to the hundred person mega-devs of today.

In Game Dev Tycoon you replay the history of the gaming industry by starting your own video game development company in the 80s. Create best selling games. Research new technologies and invent new game types. Become the leader of the market and gain worldwide fans.

Start your adventure in a small garage office in the 80s. Enjoy the hand-crafted level design while you develop your first simple games. Gain experience, unlock new options and create your first game engine.

In Game Dev Tycoon the decisions you make during development really matter. Decide which areas you want to focus on. Does your game need more gameplay or should you focus more on quests? These decisions will have a major impact on the success of your game.

Once you have successfully released a few games you can move into your own office and forge a world-class development team. Hire staff, train them and unlock new options.

With experience and a good team, you can release larger, more complex games. Larger games bring new challenges and you will have to manage your team well to deliver hit games.

An established classic of the genre with over two million players already replaying game history, Game Dev Tycoon’s upcoming Nintendo Switch release boasts an interface optimised for Joy-Con and touch controls.

Already a game dev star? Simply import your PC or mobile save to the Nintendo Switch version or between any of the existing platforms with the game’s brand-new cross-save support.

Key Features:

  • Start a solo studio in the 80s, and grow it into a world-leading development team
  • Create your own games, mixing-and-matching genres, topics and platforms
  • Hire, manage and promote your development team (but beware of crunch!)
  • Open your own R&D lab and become an industry leader
  • Import your saves from PC and mobile to continue your journey to game dev stardom
  • Play the way you want: the new Switch interface supports both touch and Joy-Con gameplay!
