Release Date Announcement

We are thrilled to officially announce that Sports Card Shop Simulator is launching into Early Access on PC on June 4, 2026!

You’ll be able to open the doors to your very own shop and start building your trading empire for just $12.99! Grab the game at a lower price during the launch discount or as part of special loyalty bundles with other games!

With football being the beating heart of our debut, launching right before the 2026 World Football Championships is no coincidence. As the real-world matches heat up, our roadmap is directly tied to the tournament. We will be rolling out regular, themed updates in sync with World Football Championships events. Get ready to rip open packs to find over 4,000 unique player cards, kits, and flags from more than 50 nations right as the actual teams battle it out on the pitch.

This Early Access launch is packed with the core features you've been waiting for:

• the meticulous card grading system,

• our custom card creator (yes, you can pull yourself from a fresh pack!),

• and trade tables to build a living, breathing local collector community inside your store.

We picked Early Access for a reason: we want to evolve the game together with you, Players. Improving gameplay, fixing bugs, and balancing the mechanics based on your feedback will be our top priorities as we move forward.

Demo Information & Save Files Update

We will be taking down the demo on May 24th to prepare for launch. The game has improved so much that demo save files are no longer compatible with the Early Access version. Using old saves will cause the game to crash or multiple issues, so prepare for a fresh start when the doors open!
