TCG Card Shop Simulator, the viral PC hit that has spent nearly two years in early access, will launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch 2, Switch, Xbox One, and PC on September 15. The announcement follows a wave of unauthorised knock-offs that appeared on the PlayStation Store, capitalising on the original game's popularity.

Developer and publisher have confirmed that TCG Card Shop Simulator will arrive on multiple platforms on September 15. The game, which became a viral sensation on PC after entering early access in 2024, tasks players with running a trading card game store: opening booster packs, stocking shelves, and managing customers.

The console release comes after several copycat titles appeared on the PlayStation Store, attempting to mimic the original's success. These knock-offs, which often feature similar names and gameplay concepts, have been a recurring issue for popular indie hits that take time to reach consoles. The official version will now give PlayStation 5 owners access to the genuine experience.

Alongside the PS5 launch, the game is also coming to Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox One, and the original Switch. A new trailer accompanied the announcement, showcasing the game's shop management mechanics and its card-opening loop. The PC version remains in early access, with the console versions launching as the same build.

The game's journey from PC early access to a full multiplatform release mirrors a pattern seen with other indie hits, where demand on consoles builds while players wait for an official port. The September 15 date applies across all announced platforms, with no staggered release window indicated.

Coverage of the announcement was led by Push Square, which highlighted the knock-off issue on the PlayStation Store, while Gematsu provided the full list of platforms and the release date. Nintendo Everything focused on the Switch and Switch 2 versions and the new trailer.
