The wait is almost over. Idle Startup arrives on Steam on June 21 — and it's free to play.

You start with a laptop and an idea. Pick a skill, and it goes to work: progress bars fill, XP rolls in, money stacks up. Spend it on upgrades, level up, and watch new skills and whole departments unlock as your one-person garage grows into a global tech empire.

• One-click idle loop — pick a skill, it runs itself
  
• 6 skills across 4 company tiers, from Garage Startup to Corporate Office
  
• 66 upgrades — per-skill trees plus a company-wide store
  
• Milestone bonuses at Lv 25/50/75/99 that buff your whole company
  
• Skill Mastery — maxed skills keep earning a permanent bonus
  
• 29 Steam achievements, from First Day to Trillionaire
  
• Offline progress — keep earning while you're away
  
• Steam Cloud saves across Windows and macOS (Steam Deck via Proton)
  
• Two interface themes, a free recurring speed boost, and no ads, ever

Simple enough to understand in under a minute, with always one more unlock to chase. Optional boost packs let you skip ahead if you want — but the whole game is playable and completable without spending a cent.

Wishlist now so you're first to know the moment it goes live on June 21. See you at launch. 🚀
