Evaluation

Better Mart Simulator is currently in Early Access — the store's short description explicitly labels it "EARLY ACCESS," and on June 10, 2026, the developer confirmed there is still significant work ahead before leaving Early Access, including essential features not yet implemented and a stability goal for the 1.0 release. The game has a very active update history, with major updates shipped approximately every 1–2 months: v0.5.0 on February 13, 2026; v0.5.2 on April 3, 2026; v0.6.0 on May 7, 2026; and v0.7.0 on July 10, 2026. These have each added substantial new content — new gameplay systems, item categories, employee mechanics, multiplayer improvements, and more. Between major updates, smaller feature patches (like v0.7.5 on July 27, 2026) continue to ship. Most recently, on August 24, 2026, the developer announced that The Fish Market update will release on August 28, 2026 — adding a new supermarket section, a new cart type, 10 additional levels, new store expansions, new achievement content, and multiplayer improvements. This update was imminent at the time of this evaluation (today is August 27, 2026). On June 10, 2026, the developer also announced that future major updates would move to a two-month release cycle, framing this as a quality improvement rather than a reduction in commitment, and explicitly reaffirmed 100% investment in the game's development. Anyone considering a purchase should be aware that this is an intentionally unfinished game in active development, with a 1.0 release still ahead and new content continuing to ship on a regular schedule.
