Job simulator games, sorted by job
Job Simulator turned ten in 2026 with more than 6 million installs, which says a lot: people enjoy doing jobs in games they would never do for real. Here are the best job sims sorted by job, the new ones from 2026, and a prompt to turn your own job into a game.
The game that named it
- Job Simulator (Owlchemy Labs, 2016). In a future where robots do the work, you play at old human jobs: office worker, chef, store clerk, mechanic. It is a VR game, so you need a headset, and its jokes still land.
Pick a job
- Truck driver: Euro Truck Simulator 2 (SCS Software, 2012). Long drives across Europe, deliveries on time, a company to grow. Still the benchmark.
- Shopkeeper: Supermarket Simulator (Nokta Games, 2024). Stock shelves, set prices, run the till, then grow the store. It hit Steam early access in 2024.
- Pawnbroker: Probably Stolen (Questing Goose Studio and tinyBuild, October 28, 2026). Buy and sell goods in a cyberpunk pawn shop and decide what not to ask. The studio says it sold over 200,000 copies within hours.
- Money counter: Cash Cleaner Simulator. Count, sort and clean stacks of cash for clients you should not ask about. On PS5 and Xbox Series since February 2026.
- Night cleaner: Blood Covenant (DelaJea Press, 2026). Night-shift hazmat cleaning in an abandoned psychiatric hospital, solo or co-op for up to 4 players. Set for Steam on November 2, 2026.
- Border guard: Papers, Please (Lucas Pope, 2013). Check passports and stamp yes or no. The job sim that made paperwork tense.
