About the Game
IT Specialist Simulator from Pixel Team RED is exactly the niche it sounds like — a job-sim where you're the IT person, ticket queue is your enemy, and SLA timers are your boss. You start on Helpdesk, diagnosing the obligatory printer problems and OneDrive issues, then progress through Network Administrator, Sysadmin, and IT Project Manager career tracks as you accumulate certifications and skill points.
The simulation depth is shockingly real for a parody — you actually pull command outputs from a fake CLI to diagnose network issues, route packets through simulated subnet diagrams, and physically swap RAM/SSD/PSU components in 3D server racks. People who work in IT call it "weirdly therapeutic." The Early Access launch was November 2025; this build is 21379224 with all current content patches.
Packaged with CSF + Goldberg, fully offline-playable. 421 MB installed. Single-player only — there's no co-op IT department mode (though many wish there was).

Official update history
Thanks to a report on the community page from player @stemon, we identified a critical bug that prevented further use of the PayApp application after changing the code.
We apologize for the inconvenience. If this issue affected you, after loading your save — the PayApp application password will be reset to 0000.
Additionally, we are releasing fixes for two bugs related to tasks.
The Server update we are working on is coming in June.
Thank you for your support!

Added:
new task type - Server, these tasks appear only from level 7. Currently, there are only a few server-related tasks and they mainly concern password policies. This category is experimental and the chance of receiving such a task is 1/50 (2%). These tasks are counted as computer tasks. Instructions for completing these tasks are available in the game starting from version 1.1.4.
new task category - Server, also available on the tablet in FreeMode
ability to change the PIN code for the PayApp application
added new mouse cursors - we’ve seen many requests for more distinctive cursors, so here we present new cursors available in the settings
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45240152/d082126b93e975ee45fe30889683e6ce9c05f623.png"]
Fixed:
Some buttons in the browser had an issue with their outline on hover
transactions in the PayApp on the tablet were always positive and displayed in green
the Cancel button in the power options view now works correctly
Changes:
The computer in the IT room is now powered on at game start because it acts as a server and should run continuously. This change does not apply to the first day of work.
more graphics have been replaced
What’s coming in future updates?
First of all, you can expect new server-related tasks. We’re not yet sure whether we’ll start with a simple Active Directory setup or introduce more typical job-related elements, such as tasks for an MS Admin.
When are the next updates?
The next update will be released at the end of June. The Q3 update, however, will be available in mid-September and will focus mainly on programming and new applications related to hacking (white hat).
Hello!
Two months of hard work are behind us. We have added many new features and fixed several bugs that were making gameplay frustrating. We have also added many new tasks. Check them out for yourselves!

Additionally, if you would like to support us or simply have your own fish, we encourage you to purchase the Support Pack! Remember, however, that the fish needs to be cared for and fed every day, otherwise unfortunately you will lose it.

Hello!
Today, in this new year 2026, we are coming to you with the first batch of fixes! As you may have noticed, IT Specialist Simulator did not receive a discount during the Winter Sale… unfortunately, this was beyond our control. The game had not yet reached a full month after release by December 20. So, the sale ends today — and at the same time, you now have the opportunity to purchase the game at -20%.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3266090/IT_Specialist_Simulator/
We also read a lot of feedback on Steam and in the surveys that many of you continue to fill out. We take everything into account, analyze it, and note the ideas that realistically can be added to the game.
About the update
Update EA 1.1.2 is a small update mainly focused on bug fixes. However, we added two key changes to the game, as well as several smaller ones:
- From now on, the process of creating a new playthrough is divided into two stages. This is also related to a new feature many players requested. You can now choose the length of your workday.
- full-time — working hours from 14:00 to 22:00 — real gameplay time: 40 minutes
- 3/4 time — working hours from 16:00 to 22:00 — real gameplay time: 30 minutes
- part-time — working hours from 18:00 to 22:00 — real gameplay time: 20 minutes
This is an important change for you. Old saves will be set to full-time by default. If you prefer shorter sessions, you now have that option.
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45240152/62d62fac95b0bc76cfb3525f44838dd4c19eead6.gif - full-time — working hours from 14:00 to 22:00 — real gameplay time: 40 minutes
- Task Manager charts — you can now view CPU, GPU, RAM, and disk charts. The computer’s performance depends on the PC configuration and BIOS settings. For example: if you leave only one core enabled, the chart will spike upward.
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45240152/71b0fccb6aca6bceb6289a17e46550409655fa49.gif - New sounds — we have added 3 new sound files. Many more will be added soon.
- Steam Cloud added — if you have cloud saves enabled, your saves should now synchronize between devices.
Fixes
We mainly focused on gameplay fixes. Here is the list:
- In Free Play mode, PDF and ISO files are downloaded automatically. Additionally, the PDF READER app is available on all computers.
- Key binding saving should now work correctly.
- Tutorial completion data is stored in a different place, preventing situations where you would need to repeat the tutorial.
- One task was not generating due to a data-transfer bug — this has been fixed.
- The HR computer now moves correctly.
- Save deletion improved.
- Task time is now calculated correctly after the end of the day. Expired tasks will no longer reappear.
- If you do not connect to Wi-Fi during the tutorial, the game will revert to previous steps.
- Internal language system improved.
- Collision with the table in the intro has been corrected.
- Debug files should now correctly appear in %appdata%.
- The tutorial in Free Play mode appears only once.
- Game logs are automatically deleted after 3 in-game days.
- Application shutdown system improved.
Trading cards
We are currently working on Steam trading cards, and you should see them later in January!

Summary
The next update introducing new content is planned for March 2026. We hope you have enjoyed the game so far and are looking forward to what is coming next.
We also encourage you to check out the fan-made wiki created by @Mario8494, @Quinn, and @DatMayo.
https://it-specialist-simulator.fandom.com/wiki/IT_Specialist_Simulator_Wiki
Four weeks have passed since the release. During the first dozen or so days, we mainly focused on fixing bugs. There were also several improvements and a few new features. However, today’s update jumps from EA 1.0.11 to EA 1.1.0. Despite spending two weeks primarily on fixes, we made an effort to deliver new features and improve overall gameplay quality. We also added a new mode that many of you asked for. Unfortunately, we are postponing printer updates to Q1 2026, as this update requires more than two weeks of work to ensure everything works exactly as intended.
Free Play Mode
Many of you wanted a mode where you could complete tasks without time pressure or penalties. Starting today, Free Play Mode is available. You can access it from the menu under the Learning button. This mode has no time limit. You can exit it at any moment. Progress is not saved in this mode. The mode received a dedicated tablet application where the player generates tasks for specific hardware. Each task can be completed an unlimited number of times. Every task includes a title and a description.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45240152/77613b1decc173b3d9adf641250b34e22ef9d9d4.gif - The option to finish the day from 3:00 PM via an early exit (items must be left in the locker).

Art style change

Four weeks have passed since the release. During the first dozen or so days, we mainly focused on fixing bugs. There were also several improvements and a few new features. However, today’s update jumps from EA 1.0.11 to EA 1.1.0. Despite spending two weeks primarily on fixes, we made an effort to deliver new features and improve overall gameplay quality. We also added a new mode that many of you asked for. Unfortunately, we are postponing printer updates to Q1 2026, as this update requires more than two weeks of work to ensure everything works exactly as intended.
Free Play Mode
Many of you wanted a mode where you could complete tasks without time pressure or penalties. Starting today, Free Play Mode is available. You can access it from the menu under the Learning button. This mode has no time limit. You can exit it at any moment. Progress is not saved in this mode. The mode received a dedicated tablet application where the player generates tasks for specific hardware. Each task can be completed an unlimited number of times. Every task includes a title and a description.
