Drug Dealer Simulator Launches on PS5 June 20 – A Gritty Crime Empire Experience Hits Consoles

Build, Hustle, and Rule the Streets—Now Optimized for PlayStation 5

June 10, 2025 — If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to run a full-blown drug empire—minus the legal consequences—Drug Dealer Simulator might be the most intense, unapologetic experience you’ll find. And now, it’s coming to a whole new audience. On June 20, the controversial and bestselling simulation title hits PlayStation 5, complete with graphical upgrades, smoother performance, and every major update from the PC version.

If you’re into unapologetic and raw titles making a modern comeback, you might also enjoy our feature on another infamous game getting a second life — POSTAL 2 Redux. We also reviewed Drug Dealer Simulator on PS5 and PC and covered Crime Simulator.

Developed by Polish studio Byterunners Game Studio and published by Movie Games S.A., Drug Dealer Simulator lets you rise through the ranks of a criminal underworld with surprising depth, strategy, and freedom. Already a hit on PC and Xbox—with over 1 million copies sold—it’s finally ready to make its PS5 debut.

From Street Corner to Cartel Kingpin

At first glance, Drug Dealer Simulator might sound like shock-value bait. But beneath the controversial name is a genuinely deep management sim. You start small—making deliveries by foot, mixing your own product, and dodging police patrols. But as you gain reputation, you’ll hire runners, manage safehouses, and build a full distribution empire.

What makes it compelling is the fine line between strategy and chaos. You’ll be managing logistics, negotiating risky deals, and fine-tuning custom product formulas, all while trying to avoid raids or worse. It’s not just a game about drugs—it’s a game about control, escalation, and survival in a world where everyone’s watching you.

New on PS5: Graphics Boost and All Major Updates

The PlayStation 5 version is being handled by Ultimate Games S.A. and includes 60 FPS performance at 1440p resolution. It launches with all previously released PC content, including quality-of-life improvements and optimization patches.

This release also lines up with a major free update for PC players, plus the highly anticipated Casino DLC, which adds new locations, story missions, and even higher stakes.
