Every market we collect.
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): 18.71/day in the week to Aug 7 → 26.43/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.

Rating: 10/10 — A nostalgic, cozy management sim done right Retro Rewind: Video Store Simulator is an absolute joy for anyone who loves 90s nostalgia, management sims, or simply the charm of building something from the ground up. This game nails the vibe of the golden age of video rentals with incredible attention to detail, warm atmosphere, and genuinely addictive gameplay. Running your own video store is far more fun than you’d expect. Stocking shelves, curating movie selections, decorating your space, and watching customers browse feels surprisingly relaxing and rewarding. The progression is smooth and satisfying—you start small, but every upgrade makes your store feel more alive and personal. The customization options are plentiful, letting you craft a shop that feels uniquely yours. The aesthetic is perfect. Neon lights, VHS tapes, retro posters, and that unmistakable 90s glow make the whole experience feel like stepping back in time. The soundtrack reinforces the cozy, nostalgic mood, and the art direction is consistently charming. What really stands out is how polished the game feels. The UI is clean, the mechanics are intuitive, and the loop of renting, selling, expanding, and improving your store stays engaging for hours. It’s easy to lose track of time because the game is simply that pleasant to play. With “Very Positive” and “Overwhelmingly Positive” reviews already backing it up, Retro Rewind absolutely earns its praise. It’s a love letter to a bygone era, wrapped in a modern, well‑crafted simulation experience. If you enjoy chill management games, retro aesthetics, or just want a cozy escape into the 90s, this one is a gem.

Molto carino e ben curato, l'unico difetto e' che dura poco. Aspettiamo patch future. 10/10
If you like organizing and collecting awesome things, while also running a store. This game is perfect, its so much fun. I have been playing it quite alot, and hopefuly ill be able to expand soon.
Fun management sim, especially for someone who worked at a Hollywood Video as their first job. Only a few instances where things got buggy, but never anything that interfered with the game. Overall, all actions felt great. Sound effects were fun and really added to the vibe of the game. I haven't even started customizing the store all that much yet, but feel like there is quite a bit of opportunity there as the build mechanics work very well. Would be great to be able to talk to the worker with tapes in your hand, as you can interact with everything else like this. Also, would be great to allow the scroll wheel to dynamically shift back and forth between tapes in your hands, as either motion only continues to cycle through them the same direction.
Nice chill out game :3
I got this game in May 2026 and loved it so much! I played it again in Aug 2026 and still loved it! I am looking forward to the next update to start all over again! Note to the makers of this game: I am super grateful for a few things: - when I check in movies from the dropbox - the next ones that pop out are same genre - I can see the ! and * from all over the store - the back alley seller is a fun part - I love the addition of being able to repair tapes (hilarious that we basically cut out the middle) - I like that the food/drinks at checkout don't take too long so they aren't annoying - I have loved all the New Release movies - I love all the different things that happen on calendar, encouraging diff genres Suggestions: - I would love to have an even bigger store (especially with the next update) - I would like the option to make my employees stop charging fees - I would like more variety in decorations - i keep saving the new release stand posters and I use some in my store but most are on shelves because I don't have a lot of room in store for them. Could they maybe have a clip to hang from the ceiling too? Thanks so much for one of my favorite games! (My time in game isn't accurate....I left it running for days so I could play it in between working.)
I don't know what it is about this game but I have been playing it a lot the past few days. I don't know if it's the nostalgia of the atmosphere of a video store or the management simulator aspect of this game but I love it. The gameplay is simple so I enjoy playing it while doing other things. I would recommend this game to anyone who loves management games and wants a bit of nostalgia in their life.
Muy entretenido y con actualizaciones constantes.
