The playtest begins today, April 7, and will remain available through April 14 via Steam, offering players an early look at the futuristic delivery management experience ahead of the game’s planned Q3 2026 release.

Set in the sci-fi town of Cranelock, players step into the role of a Rocket Post package pickup operator trying to compete with the region’s dominant delivery chain, QuickBox. Starting with a modest storefront, the goal is to grow the business into a thriving logistics powerhouse.

Daily responsibilities include handling incoming shipments, labeling packages, and assisting customers across town—including VIP clients who expect premium, white-glove service. Early operations rely on a trusty delivery van, but as the business expands, players can deploy advanced technology such as drone fleets to handle deliveries more efficiently.

Automation also plays a key role in scaling operations. As profits grow, specialized robotic assistants can be brought in to handle routine tasks, helping streamline workflows while players juggle budgets, upgrades, and day-to-day store management.

The limited public playtest for Shipping Store Simulator 2037 is available now on PC through Steam and will run until April 14.

If you’re interested in getting an early look at the game’s futuristic logistics systems, this playtest offers a chance to jump in before the full release later this year.

Set in the city of Cranelock, the game puts you in charge of Rocket Post, a small but ambitious shipping store trying to survive in a market dominated by corporate giant QuickBox. At the start, you’re doing everything yourself — receiving packages, labeling shipments, and handing them off to customers — and it quickly becomes overwhelming.

Thankfully, it’s the year 2037, and robots are part of the workforce.

As profits roll in, you can invest in robotic employees to take over repetitive tasks, freeing you up to focus on managing finances and expanding the business. These bots aren’t flawless, though. They require maintenance, can break down, and may even slip on spills around the store, adding a light layer of management and humor to the experience.

Growth brings new opportunities. As Rocket Post gains traction, Cranelock’s VIP clients begin to take notice. While your robots keep the store running, you’ll handle higher-level operations like deliveries via vans, drones, and other transport methods, expanding at whatever pace suits your playstyle. Whether you want to min-max every system or simply enjoy a low-pressure management loop, the game is designed to accommodate both approaches.

According to PLAYSTROM CEO and Founder Ivan Bogdanchuk, the goal was to strike a balance between relaxation and progression, offering something engaging without overwhelming the player. SayGames CEO & Co-Founder Yegor Vaikhanski echoed that sentiment, describing the game as easy to pick up but hard to put down — a philosophy the publisher is now bringing to PC audiences first.

Shipping Store Simulator 2037 launches Q3 2026 on Steam for PC and will support text in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Polish, Japanese, Korean, and Simplified Chinese.

If you’re into management sims with a cozy vibe, automation systems, and a sci-fi twist, this is one delivery worth keeping an eye on.
