Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Every market we collect.
Charts
Each storefront's own chart, in its own country — the closest public signal to sales where none is published. A country missing from a list is one we don't collect there, not one where the game doesn't chart.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 20/day in the week to Aug 28 → 78.43/day in the week after.
Too few observations to say whether a discount moves this store's chart at all: across the last 30 days Steam · Top Sellers · Poland has just 18 day-to-day chart moves that followed a price cut, against 2,498 that did not. We are publishing the count instead of a direction — 20 is the fewest we will draw a conclusion from, and price collection outside the United States began on 6 August 2026.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
Your bank balance is tiny, but your ambitions are big.
With a little help from your uncle, you get an apartment and your first job. But then it's up to you to achieve success and take over New York City any way you like.
Slowly build multiple small businesses, grow them into huge corporations, or carve your own unique path – the possibilities are limitless in this vast business sandbox. You've never played anything like this!
Go from a small apartment and public transport to luxury suites, fast cars and designer furniture. Put your money into investment funds and real estate. Succeed, fail, rebuild. But remember to take care of yourself, sleep and stay happy on your rise to the top.
Do you have what it takes to build your own empire?

Go from nothing to the most prominent tycoon in New York. Start a business, work smart, make it thrive and enjoy your life. How do you want to be successful? How far can you push it? How long can you make it last?
Start your own gift shop, supermarket, coffee shop, law firm, clothing store, liquor store, florist, and more. You decide what success is - whether it’s a single shop, a chain of fast-food restaurants, a huge corporation, or making millions developing websites.
Take out a loan, rent a building, design the logo, renovate the store, get stock, manage your money, hire staff, and build your infrastructure. Soon, you may have to start importing products from the harbour and distributing them through a network of warehouses.
A bigger business means managers. Hire HR Managers, Logistics Managers, and Purchasing Agents. They all need desks and computers, so you’ll need a fancy headquarters.
Need a delivery truck? Travel to a dealer and buy one. Need food? Go to a supermarket, but make sure you have a refrigerator at home. Big Ambitions is a life sim where your character has to physically interact with the world to survive and succeed.
Enter any building in New York and buy it. Go from a small apartment to a dream penthouse in midtown, a luxurious townhouse in Hell’s Kitchen, or a series of skyscrapers. Fill each with furniture that suits your style and standing. Invest your hard-earned cash in real estate to grow your empire. Take over the city piece by piece.
Spend your wealth however you wish. Buy a big SUV, a speedy sports car, or the new luxurious Mersaidi S500. Maybe risk it all at the casinos or put your money into investment funds and reap the rewards.
As you progress, you always need to ensure you get enough sleep and stay healthy and happy. Enjoy the journey, for as you grow older, you’ll discover that money can’t buy you time... or can it?
Big Ambitions takes what you love about the viral sensation ‘Startup Company’ to even greater heights.

I bought this game in EA at the end of June 2025. It looked very interesting and you could tell the developers (Hovgaard Games) had big ambitions for this game. It was a little rough and I just let it bake awhile. Now, it's hit 1.0 release and Holy Smokes! This is an absolute masterpiece. This game is loaded with depth, runs like butter, and has so many things to do. Big Ambitions is a sandbox Life Simulator to me. Some would say Tycoon Game, others would say Management Simulator or Business Simulator. Whatever you call it, don't call it lazy. Getting a business up and running on it's own to add to your business empire is extremely satisfying. Grab that new place in the Hamptons or just move up to a nicer apartment in Manhattan. It's up to you. New York City is an absolutely huge map and did I mention that the driving is very good in this game? The city is very active with traffic and pedestrians. The struggle for a good parking space is real. Taking business classes, training employees, managing worker schedules and supply chains, decorating homes or businesses. There is just so much to do. This is one of those games where you can put hundreds or even thousands of hours into it. It's an instant classic that's going to stand the test of time. I don't know if this is the Developers first foray into making games but I do know that they hit this one out of the park. It's actually left me a bit gob smacked by what they've accomplished here and I can't wait to see what they do next.

Jogo extremamente bem feito e bem pensado! Única empresa que conseguiria superar esse jogo seria uma que fizesse esse formato de game sendo que tipo INZOI onde a imersão seria bem mais aparente ao invés de um jogo com gráfico de ps2, mesmo assim estão de parabéns por criar um jogo completo de administração, onde a realidade e a possibilidade de entender como funciona uma administração de empresas é tão completa, para quem não baixou no modo acesso antecipado e agora vai pagar o valor cheio de 86 reais eu digo que vale muito a pena a experiência para pessoas que veio do nicho de mercado, fazenda, e gostaria de algo extremamente mais profundo e imersivo desde a locação do lugar ate o funcionamento do estabelecimento é muito top poder ver a sua empresa crescer pelo seu próprio esforço e estratégia.
I've tried very hard to like this game but I just can't when this game is having an identify crisis. Pick either being a life simulator or a business simulator. The combo in its current state makes more many moments of mundane and silly gameplay (having to take part in a whole host of activities to keep your character's mood in check to avoid some of your employees quitting their jobs). Instead of maybe reworking this system, the developers doubled down on it, effectively making it even harder to take care of your character's mood. You're essentially playing as a character who is suffering from moderate to severe depression, you can't increase their mood by doing various activities back-to-back. I understand wanting to prevent people from just spamming washing their hands or whatever to fill the bar but now you can't even really take a full in-game day to just go do different things to increase the mood bar. If somebody in real life regular takes full days off to go to the gym, hang out in the park, playing some games, etc but is still having issues with their happiness and mood, they likely have clinical depression. Obviously, we can use mods to bypass this entirely but I have to review the game as it is - and it's a poor combination of two different types of games. Which is a shame, because if all that effect to incorporate life simulator aspects was instead done to the business simulation end, this game has the potential to be top tier instead of a game where you spend your time nursing your mood bar, setting up businesses that you'll never visit again after you walk out the door and constantly "sleeping" to bypass time because you have nothing to do (or can't do anything for any various reason).
Are you dreaming about becoming a serial entreprenur? This is a good take on the concept. The initial grind with trying to run your first one or two companies while you work full time is real. The game generally feels thought out, it's well defined with a surprising amount of depth. Are there things I'd like to improve. Sure there are. But already now it's a good game that atleast for me is a bit inspiring on how the life of a series entreprenur is.
Great potential game , very fun to play. The whole business idea is good. However , the UI and all spreadsheet design, including the whole import mechanic need a lot of work. 1. The spreadsheet for Purchasing manager/ Logistic manager / factory inventory are very hard to work with . The design lacks common sense. The whole page show a lot of useless stuff 90% of the screen. And the important part which is the spreadsheet is so small that can only display only 4 items at a time. Wtf is that ? even initial warehouse able to store 50+ items for distribute up to 8 locations but everything cramp on the corner of the screen. 2. The role of Purchasing / Logistic manager ? We have to command them exactly what to do , actually we have to do their work ourselves. Its not automation , they not even send us report or anything. 3. The tracking inventory system is 1 way down , which is from the importer >> warehouse >> retails. Its not very good if you want to relocate the warehouse or merging them. It need to shows 2 ways of which is the product coming from. When it comes to 5 - 6 different business type and need materials and goods from all importers ,the transport routes are super confusing and I almost had to do it in excel.

I expected a pure business sims. Turns out Big Ambitions is a weird survival/life sim/GTA/business sim mix. What is even weirder is that i enjoy it even though that is not what i expected. It's a survival and life sim game because the player is a character in the world with needs (hunger, sleep, leisure,..), starts with (almost) nothing and build his success. It reminds me of GTA2, without violence : driving ilke a maniac in the city to run some errand and manage businesses And there is the business sim with buying/selling/investing/automating Pros : the weird mix works, the world feels somewhat alive, getting rich is fun Cons : there is a lot of mandatory repetitive tasks to perform (typical survival game chore) and setting up business manualy become rapidly tedious and boring Suggestion for the devs : making it easier/cheaper to setup new business automatically during mid-game.
Very good
