New simulator games of 2026

The new sims worth your time

Sorted from newest to oldest. Each line says what your hands are doing for most of the game, because that is what decides if a sim is for you.

• Probably Stolen (tinyBuild, October 28, 2026). A cyberpunk pawn shop. Sellers bring in goods, you judge what they are worth and haggle. It sold over 200,000 copies within hours on Steam, by the studio's count.
• Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault (Digital Sun, September 2, 2026). Run a shop by day and raid a dungeon for stock by night. The 1.0 release came out of Early Access on PC, PS5, Xbox Series and Switch 2.
• Sell Fries! [Anomaly] (Roblox, September 2026). A fry-shop tycoon with a horror twist: serve the line and watch for customers that are not quite right. One of the busiest new Roblox sims of the fall.
• How to Fish (Dazed Games, August 20, 2026). A physics fishing sim with online co-op lobbies for up to eight. You are stranded on an island and catch and sell fish to get home. It passed a million players in two days.
• PowerWash Simulator 2 (FuturLab, October 2025). The sequel to the 2022 hit. Point the nozzle, watch the grime go, move to the next job. On PC, Xbox Series, PS5 and Switch 2.

Why job sims keep winning

A good sim gives you one clear job, shows the progress right away and pays you for it. Clean a patch, the patch shines. Sell an item, the money ticks up. That loop is why Supermarket Simulator and PowerWash Simulator stayed big for years.

The new ones add a second layer: a suspicious seller, an anomaly in the queue, a dungeon behind the shop. Pick by how long one loop takes. Short loops suit a phone, long ones suit an evening at a desk.
