Modeled estimate, not a reported figure. How we estimate →
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 2,419 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.

Reviews
Ultimately I have no choice but to give this game a positive review because it is the greatest business simulation game of its kind ever made and a good life sim too. This game is good for those who are done with the sims games( or who are sick to their stomach of EAs dlc policy) or who want to let off from paralives or are done with it( I avoid early access very strongly under most circumstances). I do wish we could have a historical guild ot other style game but we have been largely underserved in this regard. The Ui of this game needs some work. Also, driving around new york and placing furniture isnt all that much fun. The interior design companies are expensive and the one time I used their services I had to go buy a hot dog grill to replace the chicken kabob grill they had put there(hot dogs were at a hundred percent demand). There is also the aspect of dealing with sick employees, your own happiness or having to drive to the store to get an office phone annd then bring it to your headquarters to install it manually Dealing with your rivals when the time comes is also not fun apparently. There is also the aspect of this games main objective which is to become incredibly rich. This worldly life is a drop in the ocean compared to the next life and there werent many prophets who lived in multimillion dollar mansions including the two I revere the most( Jesus and Mohammed peace be upon them). Verdict: Get this game if youre into business and amnagemetn sims, even if its at full price, but be ready to fight the game mechanics and the traffic and such in a way that is probalby worse than rome 1 total war and kcd 1. This world will be saved someday insh<Allah. Hope this review helps. Have a nice day.

Start game. Rent a room to live in. Rent a retail building. Open gym. Find out that I can't set up my gym because the two rentals had deposits which wiped out my funds. Restart game. Rent a room to live in. Rent a retail building. Open a gift shop. Buy a cash register. Buy a counter to put it on. Buy some storage shelves. Buy a large display cabinet. Find a wholesaler. Try to set up a delivery contract. I can't, I need storage shelves, which wont be delivered for another hours. Go back to my shop. Wait until the counters/shelves etc are delivered. Set them up. Go back to wholesaler. Set up a delivery contract. Hurrah! Spend a lot of time finding out how to add products to the delivery contract. Add products for a delivery. Find out it's going to be 8 days to deliver! Buy some gifts at the wholesaler and manually carry them a km to my shop. Go to place them on the large display cabinet. It won't let me. I can't display mugs on a display cabinet. Apparently it's the wrong sort of display cabinet. This game is just terrible. It hates the player. It refuses to provide the information you need, when you need it. It applies arbitrary constraints. It imposes painful delays. It does not want you to succeed. It definitely does not want you to have fun. Tempted to uninstall and forget I ever bought it.
Ja
One of the best business sims ever made.
the devs went out of their way to name this big ambitions because that's what THEY have, awesome start to this game. can't believe it's only in 0.11, the road map must be CRAZY. i plan on being mayor mamdani's worst nightmare with my uncle whose accent is a little scary good.
Good game that include various range of business simulation options. Good value with this price.
It's a great game to get lost in. I am having a lot of fun with it, and I feel it's one of the better simulation games out there. Playing the "easy" mode really helped make everything feel less overwhelming and it was extremely easy to understand. It's low stress, and there is enough to want to continue going. I've played some simulation games that feel repetitive between 20-40 hours of gameplay. I have not reached that point yet and I don't believe I will for a while. Amazing work on this!
[h1]Big Ambitions — отличный бизнес-симулятор, который затягивает сильнее, чем ожидаешь[/h1] [b]Big Ambitions[/b] — одна из тех игр, которые на первый взгляд кажутся довольно простыми, но постепенно затягивают настолько, что внезапно обнаруживаешь себя за планированием ещё одного магазина в три часа ночи. Главная сила игры — не в самом факте «построить бизнес», а в том, [b]как много факторов приходится учитывать при его развитии[/b]. Ты не просто выбираешь здание и ставишь туда несколько сотрудников. Нужно смотреть на спрос, цены, ассортимент, проходимость, район, конкуренцию, логистику, зарплаты, аренду и эффективность конкретной точки. Причём экономика разных районов Нью-Йорка действительно ощущается по-разному: бизнес, который отлично работает в одном месте, совершенно не обязательно будет таким же успешным в другом. Именно поэтому игра довольно быстро превращается из простого симулятора магазина в полноценную задачу по управлению экономикой собственной сети. [h2]Особенно понравилось постепенное масштабирование[/h2] В начале ты буквально делаешь всё самостоятельно: покупаешь товар, привозишь его в магазин, расставляешь оборудование, работаешь за прилавком и пытаешься не разориться. А потом начинается самое интересное: появляются сотрудники, склады, грузовики, менеджеры, закупки и автоматизация. Постепенно ты перестаёшь быть человеком, который лично возит коробки, и становишься человеком, который проектирует и контролирует систему. Причём автоматизация здесь не просто кнопка «сделать всё самому». Нужно сначала правильно организовать процессы, чтобы они вообще работали эффективно. Именно эта часть для меня стала одной из самых увлекательных. [h2]Очень понравилась экономика районов[/h2] В игре недостаточно найти свободное помещение и открыть там прибыльный бизнес. Нужно думать о том, где именно ты его открываешь. Разные районы имеют разный уровень спроса на товары и услуги, разную покупательскую аудиторию и разную экономическую перспективу. Поэтому появляется настоящий элемент стратегического планирования. В результате карта Нью-Йорка перестаёт быть просто красивым фоном и становится частью экономической стратегии. [h2]Игра очень хорошо создаёт ощущение прогресса[/h2] Мне нравится, что развитие здесь ощущается не только через цифру на банковском счёте. Ты буквально видишь, как меняется твоя жизнь: маленькая квартира - первая машина - первый магазин - несколько магазинов - склады - собственная логистика - крупная компания - недвижимость и огромная бизнес-империя. При этом остаётся приятное ощущение песочницы: игра не заставляет строить строго определённую компанию. Можно экспериментировать с разными видами бизнеса и постепенно создавать собственную экономическую систему. [h2]Но у игры есть довольно заметная проблема с поздней стадией[/h2] И здесь я полностью понимаю претензии игроков, которые пишут о том, что после определённого момента игра начинает превращаться в симулятор ожидания. В лейтгейме главный герой начинает ощущаться скорее препятствием, чем частью игрового процесса. Когда твоя бизнес-империя уже нормально работает, тебе остаётся поддерживать настроение и базовые потребности персонажа. Поэтому значительная часть времени начинает выглядеть примерно так: поспал - помылся - поиграл в компьютер - снова поспал - подождал, пока бизнес заработает денег. Особенно забавно, что на ранних этапах личные потребности героя добавляют игре атмосферы и заставляют планировать свой день, а ближе к концу начинают мешать экономическому геймплею. [h2]Итог[/h2] [b]Big Ambitions[/b] — отличный симулятор бизнеса и экономическая песочница, которая действительно умеет затягивать. Главное удовольствие здесь получаешь не от того, что просто зарабатываешь деньги, а от того, что строишь работающую систему. Сначала самостоятельно открываешь маленький магазин, потом оптимизируешь его, нанимаешь сотрудников, создаёшь логистику, открываешь новые точки и постепенно начинаешь думать уже не как владелец одного бизнеса, а как руководитель целой корпорации. Особенно понравилось, что приходится учитывать экономику конкретных районов: расположение бизнеса действительно становится стратегическим решением, а не просто выбором случайного здания. Главный недостаток — лейтгейм. После того как основные бизнес-процессы автоматизированы, количество интересных решений заметно уменьшается, и игра начинает превращаться в «поспи, поддержи настроение, подожди, пока заработаются деньги». Это особенно заметно именно потому, что ранняя и средняя стадии настолько увлекательны. Но даже с этой проблемой я получил от игры огромное удовольствие. [b]Плюсы: ● глубокая и понятная экономическая модель; ● экономика и спрос различаются между районами; ● отличное ощущение прогресса; ● интересная логистика и автоматизация; ● большое количество вариантов развития; ● приятное сочетание бизнес-симулятора и симулятора жизни. Минусы: ● лейтгейм заметно менее интересный, чем ранняя и средняя стадии; ● после автоматизации много времени уходит на проматывание дней; ● личные потребности персонажа в поздней игре начинают ощущаться как рутина; ● местами слишком много ручной работы; ● управление и камера могли бы быть удобнее.[/b]
Senhoras e senhores, eis o jogo que todos vocês buscavam. Não, o foco não é ver o suor escorrendo em meio a pele oleosa e cheia de acnes de um personagem, nem tão pouco observar as unhas crescendo e encravando após o personagem cortá-las no talo. Definitivamente o foco não é esse. Mas sim, esse é o jogo que você precisará estudar em uma escola de RH para ser capaz de coagir funcionários de uma empresa rival a trabalharem para você, é o jogo em que você humildemente montará uma lanchonete com o pouco recurso que tem, e os clientes acharão ruim se no seu banheiro não tiver uma pia para lavarem as mãos após suprirem suas necessidades fisiológicas. Amigos, o absurdo de realisto das tarefas e funções é de encantar, esses dias lembrei-me de comprar papel higienico em minha casa pois vi o porta papel higienico no jogo. E um detalhe mais que importante: os desenvolvedores são INCRÍVEIS! Atentos aos comentários da comunidade, atualizando com frequência o jogo, deixando-o cada vez mais realista, divertido, verdadeiro! Nada de joguinho tedioso, impossível tédio quando você vive uma segunda vida aqui dentro, e quando se aproxima de comhecer 50% de tudo que o jogo proporciona, eles já incluem mais detalhes, mais trabalhos, mais funções. Sem palavras!
It is by far one of the best games I've ever played. Even before its official release, the game was almost perfect for early access and highly enjoyable
