Currently available in early access, Water Park Simulator has already been downloaded more than a million times on Steam, where it has an ‘Overwhelmingly Positive’ user rating thanks to hundreds of rave reviews from players.
It’s a crazy first-person management simulator that has you building and managing your own water park. And while the simulator genre may be full of cash-saving, it’s actually a pretty well-crafted and in-depth experience.
From creating slides and pools to painting surfaces and placing a large number of decorative objects for visitors to enjoy, it offers all the tools you need to create the water park of your dreams. Making a successful park is very rewarding, but thanks to some crazy ragdoll physics, messing up can be just as fun.
You may have seen clips of the game on TikTok or Instagram Reels as it has already proven popular with content creators. It has even been played by the likes of v-tubing giant Ironmouse.
Now, it’s finally coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and Series S consoles with its 1.0 release on July 31, which also introduces a large number of highly requested features.
These include a full multiplayer co-op mode, a dynamic weather system, a new night mode and overhauled progression.
Best of all, the game won’t see a price increase with its full launch. It will continue to cost just $12.99 / £9.99 / AU$17.95, which Travis Richardson, co-founder of developer CayPlay Studios, says is the studio’s way of “saying thank you” to fans.
