A new video game called Schedule 1 is taking over Steam! This game, where players act as drug dealers building their empire, has shocked the gaming world by beating Assassin’s Creed Shadows in player numbers. It was developed and published by TVGS and released on 25 Mar, 2025.
Schedule 1 is a crime simulation game where you start as a small-time dealer in a big city. With no money and no customers, you must find connections, sell drugs, and grow your business while avoiding the police and dangerous rivals.
The game includes multiplayer mode, so players can work together or compete against others to create the biggest drug empire. It even lets you control every part of the drug-making process, from growing plants to setting prices for buyers.
Why is It So Popular?
Schedule 1 launched yesterday and has already become one of the most played games on Steam. On its first day, it had over 116,000 players at the same time—which is twice as many as Assassin’s Creed Shadows! Today, even more players joined, pushing the number to 131,000.
The game’s popularity may remind older players of Drug Wars, a classic game from school calculators. But Schedule 1 is much more advanced, with better graphics, online multiplayer, and detailed business strategies.
Early Access and Discount
Right now, Schedule 1 is on sale for a limited time. Players who buy it before March 31 will get early access and a lower price. After that, the game’s price will increase by 25-50%.
Schedule 1’s huge success shows that players love games with deep strategy and competition. But since it’s a game about selling drugs, parents should be aware of its content before letting younger players try it.
