Supermarket Simulator News

[h2]We’re taking a look back at where Supermarket Simulator started and where it is now[/h2]

It’s already been one entire year since the launch of Supermarket Simulator in Early
Access!

As with most games, we didn’t begin exactly with what you see today. Supermarket Simulator started from humble beginnings as a passion project by a single developer. Even the name was different, first appearing as Market Simulator before becoming what it is today.

For a long time, it was a one-man show, until eventually the scope of the project grew and eventually a solo dev became an indie studio: Nokta Games.

To really get a scope of how much has been worked on in the span of just a year we made a timeline - and this does not include the many patches along the way!



Looking back we couldn’t have predicted how far a year would take us, so we had to celebrate. Enjoy 30% off during our Anniversary Sale started yesterday until the 27th, with big announcements and a special AMA. Keep your eyes out for those and from the bottom of our hearts thank you to everyone who showed such amazing support last year!

We couldn’t have done it without you and are excited to continue to improve Supermarket Simulator. Thanks for playing!
