Business Simulator Production Access Approved: Final Release Preparations Begin

Google Play has approved production access for Business Simulator. The required closed-testing and production-access steps are now complete, moving our first HABJAN GAMES title into its final preparation stage before a public release.

The email we were waiting for

On October 10, 2026, we received the confirmation we had been waiting for: Google Play approved production access for Business Simulator. After completing the required closed-testing phase and submitting our application, the production-access review is now successfully behind us.

What production access approval actually means

This approval is an important distinction. It means Business Simulator is now eligible to use the production track in Google Play Console. It does not mean the game has already been released or that it is currently available to the public. The requirements needed to obtain production access are complete; the public production release itself still has to be prepared and published.

Closed testing did its job

The path to this point was not simply about waiting for a testing period to end. Closed testing helped us examine how the game's systems behave together over longer sessions and exposed details that needed attention. Economy balance, orders, production, machinery, workers, finance, time acceleration, the Company Agent, rewards and interface flows all benefited from repeated testing and feedback. Several improvements made during this period came directly from real use of the game rather than assumptions made during development.

What happens before the public release

Our focus now moves to the release candidate. We will carry out final checks of the production build, Google Play store listing, screenshots and localized texts, monetization and billing flows, save and restore behavior, policy status and the production-release configuration itself. We want the first public version to represent Business Simulator properly, so we are not announcing a launch date until those checks are complete and the release is actually ready.

A first for HABJAN GAMES

Business Simulator is our first game, and reaching production access is therefore more than another checkbox. It is the first time a HABJAN GAMES project has completed the required Google Play testing path and reached the point where a public production release can be prepared. There is still one important step left — making the game live — but the largest access barrier between development and release has now been cleared.

The next update will be about release

For now, our status is simple: production access is approved, final release preparation is underway, and Business Simulator is not publicly available yet. When that changes, we will say it clearly. The next major milestone we want to announce is the one players have been waiting for: Business Simulator live on Google Play.
