Release Update

Home Store Simulator · published 12 Aug 2026, 18:21 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Home Store Simulator was originally scheduled to launch today, August 12 at 10:00 AM Pacific Time. However, a few bugs were discovered during the final checks before release.

Rather than launching the game with known issues, the release will be slightly delayed while these problems are addressed.

A dedicated testing team has now been formed and is actively testing the game. With their feedback, the remaining issues will be identified and fixed as quickly as possible before the game goes live.

The goal is to make sure Home Store Simulator launches in the best possible state and provides a much better experience from the very first day.

Thank you so much for your patience, understanding, and support. A new release update will be shared as soon as everything is ready. ❤️
