Business Simulator 2026 — Manager Upgrades & Performance Update

New

  • Upgradeable Manager: You can now upgrade your manager. Higher levels boost team motivation and help adjust shelf price tags toward fair, competitive pricing.

Improvements

  • Performance at Scale: Reduced stutter/slowdowns when running many stores. We’re still actively optimizing this area.

  • Empty Shelf Cleanup: You can now remove price labels from shelves that have no products on them.

  • FPS Limit: Added an optional frame rate limiter in Settings.

Fixes

  • Queue Soft-Lock: Resolved an issue where the queue could get stuck if a thief re-joined the line.

  • Reload State Issues: Fixed cases where some Auto Checkouts turned into Manual Checkouts after reloading, and where certain shelf types incorrectly became Double Shelves.

  • General Stability: Various minor bug fixes and optimizations.

Notes

  • We’ll continue performance work for very large store counts. Thanks for the reports and keep the feedback coming.
