You have asked us for years to release Game Dev Tycoon for mobile and today we are happy to announce that: Yes, it’s finally coming!

An updated version of Game Dev Tycoon will release for iPad and iPhone on November 28th, followed by a PC update and an Android release.

The mobile release of Game Dev Tycoon contains no in-app purchases and no ads. We did, however, take the opportunity to add a few new things to the game for this release.

You can look forward to:
– an updated story line (something about bitter tasting cartridges).
– new topics to enable even more game types.
– a new super-difficult game mode, inspired by true events.
– built-in video recording and streaming support because Game Dev Tycoon proved to be popular with streamers around the world.
– a re-designed user interface, tuned to mobile devices.

PC players won’t miss out on these, as new content such as topics (including these gorgeous icons), the new game mode, and updated story line will be delivered as a free update to our current Game Dev Tycoon players soon after the mobile release.

Anticipated Questions

Why did it take you so long?
We knew a good port would probably take more than a year to do right. We also knew that we lacked the experience with mobile game development to do an efficient job and since we wanted to start our second game too, we had to look for a development partner. Someone with the right experience, someone who gets what makes Game Dev Tycoon fun and, most importantly, someone we can trust to deliver a quality port.
Who developed the port?
We partnered up with Rarebyte, a premium developer with a long history of mobile development experience based in Austria. They have been great!
In what languages will you release Game Dev Tycoon?
The game will be available in 17 languages: English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Arabic, Czech, Dutch, Greek, Hungarian, Polish, Portuguese-Brazil, Russian, Swedish, Turkish, Ukrainian and Korean.
In what countries will the game be available?
We aim for a global launch but due to release complexities introduced by China it is unlikely that we will be including China at launch.
Are you looking for testers?
Yes, we’d like to test the game with a small number of players. If you are interested in testing the game, please voice your interest here.
I'm a journalist/influencer, can I get a copy to review?
Please get in touch with us via email: pr@greenheartgames.com
Will there be an Android version?
Yes, we aim to release for Android in January 2018.
Once we have a set date, we will announce it via our newsletter:
