From Press Release:
August 15, 2026: KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – O.P. Neon Games is thrilled to announce that the viral indie sensation, TCG Card Shop Simulator, will officially launch its 1.0 version on September 15, 2026. Marking the end of a critically acclaimed Early Access journey that began in September 2024, the game has already captivated over 3.5 million players across Steam, Xbox, and Windows PC, becoming a runaway hit for solo developer Ding Shen Sia.
Accompanying the release date reveal is a brand-new trailer that pays homage to the vibrant, Saturday-morning animation style of the 90s. Blending nostalgic animated aesthetics with the modern thrill of pack ripping and business management, the trailer perfectly captures the playful spirit that turned a solo passion project into a global phenomenon.
The 1.0 launch brings the full vision of TCG Card Shop Simulator to life, introducing the hotly-requested playable Tetramon TCG mode. For the first time, players won’t just manage the shop—they will be able to sit down, build decks, and battle with the cards they’ve collected, transforming their store into a true community hub.
This is alongside the robust Tournament Mode, which allows players to host high-stakes NPC competitions, and the full suite of customisations, pricing strategies, and management that made the title a staple of the simulation genre.
“When I launched TCG Card Shop Simulator in early access in 2024 I didn’t expect it to blow up the way it did,” says Ding Shen Sia, Founder at O.P. Neon Games. “I’m grateful for the community that rallied behind it and with the 1.0 release, I can’t wait to bring TCG Card Shop Simulator to all of you the world over on more platforms. And for those of you that have been there from the start: I can’t wait for you to finally experience the full Tetramon TCG and see your shops come alive in a whole new way.”
TCG Card Shop Simulator will be available on September 15 on Steam (PC), Xbox Series X|S, Xbox Game Pass, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2. Players can wishlist the game now on their platform of choice to be notified immediately upon launch.
