Kairosoft is celebrating its 30th anniversary by offering the mobile versions of its popular simulation game, Game Dev Story, for free on Android and iOS for one day. This promotion is available on 2026-02-11, allowing players to download and retain the game from Google Play or Apple's App Store. However, the Amazon storefront still lists it at $4.99.
Game Dev Story Overview
Originally launched as a Japanese PC exclusive, Game Dev Story was ported to mobile platforms in 2010. The game allows players to manage a game development studio, hire staff, create original games, take on contract work, and even develop consoles. Players can also receive reviews from a Famitsu-style magazine and participate in the annual GameDex event.

In addition to its availability on Android and iOS, Game Dev Story can be played on various platforms including Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Steam. It is also part of the Apple Arcade subscription service. This limited-time free offer is a unique opportunity for mobile users to experience one of Kairosoft's classic titles without cost.
