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.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
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.

Very in depth game! I am still very new to gaming, so it took me a couple of restarts before I really understood the mechanics of the game, but man, once you get it... it is VERY addicting. I have really enjoyed playing so far and look forward to playing even more!!!
My uncle gave me a small loan of a million dollars

The game is as billed, but it's just... boring. I spend more time ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ around waiting for time to pass while keeping my happiness up through the same tired routine than I do actually managing businesses. It has enough of the elements to be a good-ish game, but it just doesn't put it together in a way that's fun. I imagine part of the issue is how tedious and cumbersome the interface is. Toggle to another screen to get some needed info, and everything you're doing gets wiped away and you need to re-enter it all. Relevant info isn't available via a tooltip or such, you have to go hunt it down. If you're making your employee's schedule and need to manage them, you can... but you can't go back to the schedule. You have to go back to your list of businesses, find the business again, then select it, go back to the schedule tab, and resume. Have fun if you need to manage multiple employees in this way!
By far one of the most addicting tycoon games I have played. The micro-managing of multiple businesses can get overwhelming for most people (including myself). At certain points of the game you will start scaling from making 1k a day to 10k then 100k and so on. Now, there is some negatives about this game that should be addressed. When looking at my business and income stats, you can only look as far back as 7 days. I would like to see my stats as far back as at least 60 days. The POV is really weird and in order to fix it I would have to download a mod. It should just be base-game in general. Instalation (i cant spell) fees are WAAYYY overpriced and to add on top of that they cheap out on what they give you as an end result. On the other hand, mod support is AWESOME.
경영 시뮬을 좋아하면 재미있게 할듯. 가격도 이정도면 저렴하고 재미도 있음. 은행에 대출 떄리고 사업확장해나갈떄 재미는 고트 그 자체인데 경제적인 자유 도달해버리면 그 이후 컨텐츠가 없어서 팍식어버림. 컨텐츠의 부재도 부재인데 후반에 긴장감이 1도 없어서 빨리 질리는듯. 그래도 개발자가 의욕가지고 패치해줄떄마다 컨텐많이 넣어주고 있다고 들었고 가격이 저렴해가 경영시뮬 좋아하면 사놓고 컨텐추가되거나 생각날떄마다 와서 즐기면 가격 이상 가치는 몇배는 해줄거라고봄 ㅇㅇ
Even at $50 this game would be a fantastic deal. I found out I loved deeply systemic simulation games not too many years ago, but I still have ended up playing many stellar titles. Supermarket Simulator, House Flipper, Anno 1800, Two Point games, and Schedule 1 just to name the ones played most recently. But Big Ambitions stands head and shoulders above them all. The only issue I see is that I've explored every mechanic and system offered after 220 hours. I don't think there's much left to learn. But I can start a new save file and this time play on hard mode and try to optimize farther, so I bet in total I'll get 500 hours of fun out of this game.
This game will hook you like the first time you played The Sims and its pretty dang fun, but i unfortunately cant recommend the game as is. Perhaps after early access is over they will have fixed the problem, but as it is right now the game will break and become partially unplayable somewhere around what i assume is about halfway through the game. Your biggest "enemy" in this game controls roughly 25 locations and i was only at 11 locations when my purchase orders to warehouse buildings all glitched out and stopped showing the products except for 275,000 paper bag in every slot and while looking at that particular screen that you can't do anything with at that point anyway the game will lag very hard. I'm not sure if the issue is how many in game assets I have or just a programming issue, but I'm not even halfway to victory and the game even has achievements specifically for stockpiling assets so It has to be an unintended error. Regardless that issue broke my entire supply chain I'd built up over 120 hours of play which disconnects about half of my locations. You could still play the game without using warehouses and purchasing managers i guess, but that clearly isn't what is intended and who knows if the other types of locations will eventually break when you have enough of them even if you are not stockpiling assets. Some of what I just typed may seem a little unclear if you haven't already actually played this game, but very basically if you get this game and really dive into all aspects of it (because it is very fun) you run the risk of having the same issue as me and you are going to be sad about how much work you put in by the time it breaks. I spent a little time trying to fix the issue myself with a few tricks I have learned from other games over the years to no success, sent a bug report, reluctantly turned off the game, and said "well, I guess I'm never playing this again." It's still early access, but a problem that large needs a disclaimer! If they don't specifically release something that says they have fixed the supply chain issues I would not buy this game. This game was about an 8.5 from me and if they added player leveling, building leveling, a bit more difficulty, and a little more variation in daily operating hours from place to place and types of items you can place/interact with it would be at 9.5. They could squeak out the last .5 with some minor tweaking to the menus you have to shuffle through and better data tracking. Being able to see more than one page at the same time via a split screen or window would be a godsend, and business data should save for at least 7 days not just "yesterday" I ended up having to take pictures of the screen with my phone so i didn't have to cycle through an entire week of game time to get back to something I realized I needed to look at. Super fun game, the pressure eases up a bit after you have a couple places running, but you always feel a little bit under the gun so there is still some challenge. If you like it in the first few hours you are still going to like it at hour 100, but without them fixing the purchasing order/warehouse problem it might as well be 0/10. Hopefully they have addressed this by the full release for the rest of you, but i'm pretty bummed that my game broke and if a fix comes out and doesn't apply to old saves then i probably will never play again.
Perfect game!
Highly recommend! Was expecting much less for the EA and was presently surprised by everything to do, and the whole city interactions, including getting a parking ticket when I tried unloading my inventory! As far as the actual game mechanics itself, it does what it says it does. You earn money, start businesses, make more money, buy more businesses, and grow and grow, all while making yourself rich! If your good at it of course. Then take on your rivals. The amount of different types of companies you can make is amazing, and with Mod support announced, the amount of products/decor/themes etc.. will only grow! I just purchased this game a couple weeks ago and already have over 100 hours. I am so excited to see where it goes!
