Evaluation

Ultimate Fishing Simulator launched in full release on August 30, 2018 and has been under active ongoing development ever since, particularly since a new development team (Pancake Games / 3T Labs) took over in August 2022. In January 2024, the developer announced a major free Remaster update — a full engine migration to Unity 6 HDRP, rebuilt maps, new water and weather systems, new fish and equipment models, full VR rework, and full multiplayer support, all as free updates to existing owners. Development has progressed through two public beta stages: Stage 1 (September 6, 2025) brought the rebuilt base map and new systems, and Stage 2 (February 21, 2026) brought remastered DLC maps and detailed what remains in Stage 3 (new Trophy Lodge, Aquarium DLC upgrade, new boats, new fishing equipment, new fish species, full VR rebuild, and Level Editor restoration). On August 12, 2026 — just one day before today's assessment — the developer posted a status update confirming that Remaster work is ongoing every day, that the VR rebuild in particular has proven more complex than expected, and that multiplayer, the new UI, the Trophy Lodge, and the Level Editor are all still in progress. In the same post, the developer confirmed that the unreleased Italy DLC (listed on the store with no release date) will launch together with the Remaster rather than before it. This is a highly active development situation with clear outstanding deliverables explicitly confirmed by the developer just yesterday.

About this game

Ultimate Fishing Simulator is a comprehensive fishing simulator that allows using various techniques, in different places around the world, and most importantly, you don’t need a permanent connection to the Internet for it.

If you are bored of waiting for fish to take you and falling asleep in front of the computer, you have played a bad game! In the Ultimate Fishing Simulator, this will never happen. Select the appropriate equipment and bait, cast your line, and wait for a bite. Success is guaranteed.

In addition to traditional fishing techniques, in Ultimate Fishing Simulator you’ll also find a winter map where you will be able to go ice fishing! Buy an auger at the store, find a suitable location and drill an air hole. But not too small, so that you can remove the fish.

There are two modes of difficulties in the Ultimate Fishing Simulator, thanks to which there is something for everyone. Normal Mode allows you to enjoy the game in all its glory. In normal mode, all the features in the game are included. Realistic Mode requires more patience and efficiency from the player. Fish will be biting less and will fight longer. Some game features in this mode are disabled, such as the underwater camera.

Every fisherman likes to admire his trophies. Some release their fish, and other stuff and hang them on their walls. In Ultimate Fishing Simulator you can exactly do the same! Decide what you want to do with the fish you catch. Sell? Release? Stuff? The choice is yours.

If the maps available in the game bore you, you can create your own. Be creative and build your dream fishery that you can share with other players thanks to the built-in level editor. Enjoy fishing with your friends in your favorite, family fishery. What more could you ask for?

FEATURES

    • Spinning – the most popular fishing method in the world. Dozens of different baits, rods and reels
