Shops! Arcades! Cafés! The Retail Update is here!

Ever wanted to own your own business, but without the enormous amount of effort involved? Or, worse, having to deal with the general public? Well good news! The Retail Update is here, bringing a brand new catalog packed with everything you need to build your own shops, arcades and cafés all from the comfort of your own home, inside your PC.

And because running an imaginary retail empire clearly isn’t enough, we’ve added plenty more to play with:

Retail Update Features


Display your video collection:
New DVD and video boxes are here! Fill your shelves, organise your collection and finally bring all your favourite media formats together in one place.

Custom disc & CD artwork: Give your collection a personal touch with custom artwork for your discs and CDs.

Improved shelving: Spine out? Face out? Face up? Whatever you want. Items can now face different directions within the same shelf row, so mix and match to your heart’s content. Go CRAZY.

Watch videos on your TVs: The modern age requires you to be consuming media at all times, and now you can do it IN GAME! Play your own video content on screens around your BOXROOM.

More label customisation: Change the fonts and colours of your labels to get everything looking just right.

Improved mod creation UI: We’ve made improvements to the mod creation interface to make creating and managing your own content easier.

Quality-of-life improvements: Spawned objects now face towards you, because having to turn them around yourself was quite frankly, an outrageous demand on your time, we’re so sorry. Goodbye Dust Particles: You can now turn off dust entirely. Allergies shmallergies. Kiss those antihistamines goodbye.

Plus, there are a few more improvements, fixes and little surprises tucked into the update as well.

And we’re already working on what comes next. Another BOXROOM update arrives October 22nd, and this one is looking a little more… festive, we know it’s October. No, we will not be taking questions at this time. But more on that soon! For now though, stock the shelves, flip the sign to OPEN, and get ready to welcome your first customers. Or don’t. They’re imaginary customers and you can do whatever you want. See you in the next update!

As always, to offer feedback, request features, and generally be involved in the early access campaign, please join us on Discord.
