TCG Card Shop Simulator’s 1.0 Release Brings PS5, Switch and Playable Cards

TCG Card Shop Simulator exits Early Access on September 15, 2026, launching version 1.0 across PC, PS5, Xbox consoles, Switch, and Switch 2 with playable Tetramon card battles and Tournament Mode.

The relevant shift is mechanical rather than cosmetic. OPNeon Games’ shop-management simulator has spent its PC Early Access period focused on stocking products, opening packs, arranging shelves and expanding a retail business; version 1.0 turns the cards collected in that loop into a playable Tetramon trading card game.

September 15, 2026 is the full-release date, exactly two years after the original Steam Early Access debut on September 15, 2024. The launch lands simultaneously on Steam, Microsoft Store, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2. For PlayStation and Nintendo players, it is the first access point; Xbox and Microsoft Store users had access through Game Preview from October 28, 2025. The game is also available through Game Pass.

The core retail systems remain: players order booster packs and other products, set up a shop, sell inventory, open packs for their own collection, hire staff and reinvest revenue into a larger operation. The original Early Access build already contained 77 sellable unlocks, 21 furniture items, eight employees and 2,714 cards across the Tetramon Base, Destiny and Ghost expansions. Later updates continued to address operational issues, including pack-opening memory leaks and play-table pathfinding.

Version 1.0’s headline additions are deck building, battles against CPU opponents and Tournament Mode. The latter allows the store to host competitive matches involving NPC opponents, extending the existing ability to set game formats and entry fees. That makes the management loop less dependent on the appeal of collecting fictional cards alone: inventory can now feed directly into matches.

Several practical details remain unsettled. The PS5 storefront confirms a Standard Edition, but no final price, PS4 version, deluxe edition or premium edition. Cross-save, cross-play, online multiplayer and transfer rules for existing Early Access or Game Preview saves have not been confirmed. Steam Cloud saves and save slots existed on PC before 1.0, while old Prologue saves were explicitly incompatible with the full game.

Watch for the 1.0 patch notes before launch, particularly for save migration and the final platform-specific feature set.
