Hello PC Builders!
As we enter another action-packed month, we’re kicking things off with a major update - v1.15. This time around we’re growing the entire parts range with a variety of fan favourites, extra small form factor options, a mix of often requested white parts, and one more venue to build it all in.
First though, we sailed the high seas looking for computing’s finest privateers and returned with one of their newest treasure chests.
Introducing the CORSAIR iCUE 5000T
In a PC Building Simulator first, we’ve teamed up with CORSAIR to celebrate the release of their new iCUE 5000T case. Continuing the 5000 series case range first shown during CES2021, we’re excited to unveil the latest entries’ digital counterpart to closely coincide with the physical release.
Free Workshop: Irratech Open-plan Productivity Suite
In Irratech’s latest effort to increase PC building productivity, the head honcho, el numero uno, mr big, godfather, and lord of the rings is venturing into uncharted territory. By orders from the top, we’re giving all players access to the brand-new Irratech open-plan productivity suite (IOPS) office ready for all your first quarter chart boosting constructions.
Filled with as much personality as a person can reasonably fit into each two-metre-wide regulation table and unused notice board, let this be the office arcade machine to your problems. Now usable in free build or career mode. *
*Pictures of loved ones not included.

We’re celebrating bringing another iconic case to PC Building Simulator by once again teaming up with Cooler Master to give away 3 real ones which we’ll have full details of in a separate post.
Free workshop: Irratech Executive Suite

Usable in free build or career mode, what better way to show you can be up to 50% of your own boss subject to paying off Uncle Tim?

PC Building Simulator Update v1.13 - Including the IT Expansion
Hello PC Builders! Today we’re releasing another major update, v1.13. In this patch we’re expanding our range of Z590 chipsets, adding more white parts, introducing some AIB Radeon 6000 series cards, sneaking in extra water-cooling goodies, and we’ve been sweet talking the team a
Hello PC Builders!
Today we’re releasing another major update, v1.13. In this patch we’re expanding our range of Z590 chipsets, adding more white parts, introducing some AIB Radeon 6000 series cards, sneaking in extra water-cooling goodies, and we’ve been sweet talking the team at Cooler Master about an entirely new type of case.
First though, time to step into your new office…
Free content: PC Building Simulator IT Expansion
Our always helpful Uncle Tim has found a new opportunity for you to get out of the workshop and expand on your existing PC building skills - starting immediately!
Watch on YouTube
Pivot your career to a new direction and take charge of IT support at the Irratech Corporation. Featuring over 20 hours of new story content, brand new mechanics, and customisable workshop spaces.
Post-beta feedback adjustments:
Following the community feedback from the open beta, we’ve implemented a few changes prior to releasing the IT Expansion, some of the most notable are highlighted below:
Difficulty settings
Similar to the Esports Expansion DLC, players can turn on or off a selection of settings to customise their experience, all of these options are available at any time from the pause menu. This time around we’ve also done away with the achievement for completion without any enabled so it’s purely down to how you prefer to enjoy the game.
This also includes an option for additional tutorials aimed at players who are new to PC Building Simulator but want to start with the IT expansion instead of the base game.
Tablet Adjustments
Throughout the beta one of the main pieces of feedback we heard was around tablet functionality, we’ve stepped things up by allowing players to access the tablet while working at a workbench along with adding a calendar app to help players keep track of incoming orders.
To satisfy those of you with better memories or who prefer the more purist experience we’ve also added an option to the game settings to hide the tablet and associated prompts entirely.
Career changes
Whilst many of us enjoy performing percussive maintenance on office printers we’ve also realised that some of you might not, so we’ve made sure to keep it as an optional objective on career jobs.
Rigg’s rigs will also make things a little clearer via a one-time popup to make sure nobody misses out on the new way to turn extra PC parts into cash.
Finally, we’ve added two new features to drastically improve the workflow in the IT expansion. Applications in Add/Remove Programs can now be found via a search box and all broken parts can be sold in one click via the inventory.
Introducing the Cooler Master MasterFrame 700
Built with extreme hardware compatibility in mind, the MasterFrame 700 offers new options for both full tower showcase builds and test bench setups - both of which are now available in game as separate cases today.
Cooler Master MasterFrame 700 (Showcase Mode)
Cooler Master MasterFrame 700 (Bench Mode)

Hello PC Builders!
Hot on the heels of v1.11 we’ve got another major update. In this patch we’re releasing the often-requested 11th generation Intel processors, adding our first Z590 chipsets, keeping temperatures down with new cooling solutions and expanding our range of high-end power supplies.

PC Building Simulator - IT Expansion Open Beta

Hello PC Builders!
Today we’re announcing the open beta of our second career expansion, themed around IT support! It was developed in collaboration with Futurlab. Whilst we won’t restrict play or feedback to certain countries, it’s important to note the open beta will be available to play in English language only. This is because we haven’t finished writing all of the content and therefore it’s not yet localised to other languages.
To be clear, this is a beta, not a finished product. There’s missing content and there will be bugs. Our main goal with this beta is to get some feedback on the tone and new gameplay elements through a short Google form. This will allow us to refine the whole thing and make sure it’s fun to play, whilst also letting players in on what we’ve been up to. To sweeten the deal, we’re also going to be rewarding one lucky survey responder with a real PC case...
How do I sign up?
Anyone can take part, to get involved head over to the PC Building Simulator store page which we’ve embedded below.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/621060/PC_Building_Simulator/
Once you’re there, near the button for buy (or play) is a new option to join the playtest, hit that and you’ll gain a new application in your Steam library – “PC Building Simulator IT Expansion Playtest”. This is a separate download to make sure existing saved games are kept safe.
What’s in it for me?
To make filling out the feedback survey linked on the main menu a more attractive option, we’re raiding the PC Building Simulator vaults to give away a real-world prize to a random participant – a limited edition NZXT H700 PC case from PC Building Simulator’s Overclocked Edition DLC and our 2019 triple collaboration with NZXT and Brock Hofer.
Nothing says office job simulation quite like a dinosaur with a flamethrower.
Important information:

Signups will begin on 21st May 16:00 UTC+1
Players will be unable to sign up after 1st June 12:00 UTC+1
The beta will open on 26th May 12:00 UTC+1
The beta will be unavailable after 2nd June 12:00 UTC+1.
The playtest requires a 15.56 GB download to play.
You must fill out the survey linked on the main menu to be eligible for a prize.
Players can stream or create videos, please make it clear it’s an in-progress beta though.
