We have a date: AMERICAN LIFE SIMULATOR launches in Steam Early Access on 11 November 2026 at 08:57 PST (16:57 UTC, 17:57 CET, 19:57 in Türkiye).
What the game is
You start in a quiet North American suburb with almost nothing. You earn money one job at a time: mowing lawns, trimming hedges, picking up garbage bags, and sweeping the streets. You save up, buy better machines, and eventually buy the houses on your street and rent them out.
What's in the Early Access build
- Neighborhood jobs: mow lawns, trim bushes with a chainsaw, collect garbage bags with the bag collector, and clear street trash with the street sweeper
- Machines: rent or buy the lawn tractor, street sweeper, bag collector and chainsaw from the in-game market, and keep them fueled at the fuel pump
- Real estate: 9 houses to research, buy and rent out for passive income
- Quests and neighbors: neighborhood tasks, HOA bonuses, and neighbors with their own life stories
- Online co-op: host a world and play together with friends over Steam
- Steam features: 43 achievements and Steam Cloud saves
- Languages: the interface is translated into more than 100 languages
Why Early Access
The game is playable today, but it's not finished. We want to grow it together with the people who actually play it: fix what's broken, balance the economy, and add to what you enjoy most. We plan to stay in Early Access for about three months, with the full release currently planned for February 2027. Expect rough edges, and expect us to read your feedback and patch regularly.
If you'd like to be notified on launch day, adding the game to your wishlist and following it on Steam is the best way.
See you in the neighborhood on 11 November.
