What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The world isn’t ready for the full force of your economic arsenal just yet. Early Access lets us fine-tune the balance between market mayhem and economic paradise, testing how much chaos players can handle before we roll out the full impact of your rate-raising (or slashing) powers.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Just long enough to teach the markets who’s boss—around 12-18 months, give or take a few economic collapses.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan to introduce additional financial instruments, new geopolitical scenarios, and more interactive ways to observe your handiwork—like a “hyperinflation” mode, "money printer go BRRR" or an option for bottomless negative interest rates that really tests those "limits." Plus, expect refined economic simulations and added features that make managing the global economy even more thrilling.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently, the Early Access version includes a robust set of tools for rate adjustments, market responses, and over 50 random events you will have to face in your journey in free play mode. Expect a solid foundation of chaos and power, but it’s just the beginning—many new features are still in the vault.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Most likely, yes. Early Access players will benefit from a lower price as we continue to develop the full central-banking experience. When the full version is released, the price will reflect the added content and fine-tuning.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We’ll be actively listening to your feedback on which economies should burn hotter or colder, as well as any additional features or scenarios you want to see. Community input will be key in determining which tools of economic influence are added next—so go ahead, tell us how you’d wield the power via our discord channel.”

About This Game

Add to your Wishlist to follow Central Bank!

Welcome to Central Bank! The ultimate Central Bank simulator!

Take control of the most fearsome weapon known to mankind: the key interest rate. As head of the central bank, you wield the power to make (or break) nations. Raise it, and watch markets crumble and riots erupt. Lower it, and brace yourself for an economy so hot it could melt steel.

Step into the all-powerful shoes of a central banker, where you hold the world’s fate at your fingertips – literally. Central Bank is about weaving the fine line between euphoric prosperity and absolute chaos:

Too high, and the people revolt as homes become unaffordable, businesses collapse, and global unrest unfolds. Too low, and inflation runs rampant, society devolves into a free-for-all, and governments beg you to reverse course. Play god with the economy, manipulate prosperity, and watch as your every choice impacts millions. Will you be the savior of stability… or the architect of economic apocalypse?
