Kairosoft Makes Game Dev Story Free for One Day
Kairosoft, the developer behind the popular simulation game Game Dev Story, recently announced that it is offering the Android and iOS versions of the game for free on mobile storefronts. This limited-time offer is in celebration of the developer’s 30th anniversary and is available for one day only.
To take advantage of this promotion and retain access to the game after the free period ends, interested players must download the game from either Google Play or Apple’s App Store. It’s important to note that the Amazon storefront for Android devices still lists the game at its regular price of .99.
Game Dev Story is a classic simulation game where players create their own game development company. They can hire staff, develop original games, take on contract work, and even create their own consoles. The game also features a Famitsu-style magazine for game reviews, unlocking different genres and concepts, and attending a GameDex event each year.
While Game Dev Story has been released on various platforms such as the Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X, the free promotion is only available for the Android and iOS versions on Google Play and the App Store. A PC version is also available on Steam and the game is part of Apple Arcade.
Don’t miss out on this opportunity to experience the nostalgia of Game Dev Story for free on February 11, 2026, on Android and iOS devices.
