Cowboy Life Simulator first surfaced in coverage four years ago. At the time it looked like the team had abandoned the project, but development continued — the game is still alive and now has a release date.
Poland-based studio Odd Qubit is preparing a modest counterpoint to Red Dead Redemption. Scale, budget, and approach differ: Cowboy Life Simulator emphasizes everyday cowboy activities — crafting, herd management, and expanding your own ranch.
There will be gunfights as well. Gangs roam the region, and ranch owners will need to protect their livestock from predators.
Cowboy Life Simulator enters Early Access on November 26, 2025. You can follow the development on the project page on Steam.
The developers promise an open world, a building system, farming mechanics, animal care, home decoration, narrative arcs with memorable characters, character progression, combat encounters, and weapon upgrades.
