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 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,515 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.

This is exactly the kind of business sim/tycoon game I've been searching for and it plays amazing!! Hard to believe this is early access. The devs are extremely responsive to the community. These guys made another business sim a while back that played great as well but I'm still very surprised at how great this game runs as early access with minimal PC requirements.
mir gefällt es schlicht nicht, laaaangweilig

Al fin salió la 1.0. Es un juego bastante divertido aunque tiene aspectos mejorables (podría tener más opciones de ocio). Pero es bastante complejo ahora que han implementado las fábricas. Lo recomiendo si te gustan los juegos de gestión y no es excesivamente difícil de aprender.
I can pretend i am Amazon or some other greedy ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ corporation. Kinda fun tho, i now understand why they act the way they do
It's much better than when I originally played it, but it still has the same flaw. There comes a point where the leap to get into the final "end game" is huge and it's also at the point where everything is pretty automated. So you find yourself just skipping the days over and over, while also having the annoying hassle of ordering food. I don't mind getting to the point of things being automated, as that's the goal of the game. I just find it silly that you get to that point and are still expected to reach billionaire status, which involves hours and hours of just skipping days in game. They either need to add more to do or just make it easier to get rich and beat the game. The rival aspect needs a lot more work as well.
What an interesting game. It's a simulator work life sim where you have to gain the monopoly of New York City. If the game is not enough for you, you have a ton of mods in the workshop. Aim to be a billionair or more in this game.

game breakin crash as i enter my first appartement, erasing my 5 minute old save, terrible first experience
As a gamer who enjoyed Hovgaard's last game, I was initially hesitant to give this a try as it looked a little overwhelming. Now after playing wayyyyy too much since I bought it, I have found Big Ambitions to be great tycoon fun (better if you can roleplay along to the story a little as its a little lacking at the moment). The recent updates adding more to the game and steam workshop integration have set this game up to be great fun now and amazing at full release. My only issue is that the life sim portion of the game at the moment feels very lacking and almost tediously annoying at times, it was fun at first but with so little to do in that aspect after 1000+ game days it feels very repetitive but easy to overcome for the tycoon portion. If you've enjoyed tycoon or life sim games like this in the past, I would absolutely pick up Big Ambitions, great concept and one of the best early access titles to hit this platform in years.
