Real History Mode

A new feature is coming to Devices Tycoon — Real History Mode!


This mode allows you to start your company back in 2008 and unlock new technologies exactly when they appeared in the real world.

At the start of a new game, you’ll be able to choose your starting year. If you want to truly experience the evolution of modern devices, 2008 is the perfect place to begin — the dawn of the smartphone era.

As you play, you’ll regularly receive notifications about newly discovered features. The game includes an enormous database of historical tech milestones — over 500 categories of features, each containing more than 100 individual technologies. That’s more than 50,000 features waiting to be discovered!

Real History Mode doesn’t just cover technical specs — it also reflects how devices looked and evolved over time. For example, in 2008, most touch smartphones still had mechanical buttons, just like the first iPhone.

When you receive a message that engineers have invented a new function, it doesn’t mean every company is already using it. This is your chance to be the pioneer — integrate newly released features into your devices before anyone else!

Relive the past, reshape the future, and experience the full evolution of technology — one breakthrough at a time.

Thank you to everyone who continues to add Devices Tycoon (PC) to their wishlist — your support means a lot! ❤️
