Release Date Announcement

Sports Card Shop Simulator · published 20 May 2026, 13:52 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

We are thrilled to officially announce that Sports Card Shop Simulator is launching into Early Access on PC on June 4, 2026!

You’ll be able to open the doors to your very own shop and start building your trading empire for just $12.99! Grab the game at a lower price during the launch discount or as part of special loyalty bundles with other games!

With football being the beating heart of our debut, launching right before the 2026 World Football Championships is no coincidence. As the real-world matches heat up, our roadmap is directly tied to the tournament. We will be rolling out regular, themed updates in sync with World Football Championships events. Get ready to rip open packs to find over 4,000 unique player cards, kits, and flags from more than 50 nations right as the actual teams battle it out on the pitch.

This Early Access launch is packed with the core features you've been waiting for:

  • the meticulous card grading system,

  • our custom card creator (yes, you can pull yourself from a fresh pack!),

  • and trade tables to build a living, breathing local collector community inside your store.

We picked Early Access for a reason: we want to evolve the game together with you, Players. Improving gameplay, fixing bugs, and balancing the mechanics based on your feedback will be our top priorities as we move forward.

If you are a Content Creator, you can request pre-release game access here: https://www.keymailer.co/g/games/a906f58e

Demo Information & Save Files Update

We will be taking down the demo on May 24th to prepare for launch. The game has improved so much that demo save files are no longer compatible with the Early Access version. Using old saves will cause the game to crash or multiple issues, so prepare for a fresh start when the doors open!


Before we wrap this up, we have an answer to the question you've been spamming in our comments. Yes, Sports Card Shop Simulator is officially coming to consoles! The porting process is underway, and we will be opening up console wishlists very soon, so keep your eyes peeled.

You can wishlist SCSS on PlayStation already: https://store.playstation.com/en-us/concept/10019834

The Xbox page will be available soon!


Want to talk directly with the team behind the counter? Jump into our Discord! You can chat with the developers, shape the game, and unlock exclusive community roles during the playtest.


For now, please hit that Follow button and add us to your Steam Wishlist so you are the first to know the second we go live in Early Access on June 4th.

~See you behind the counter!
