Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Every market we collect.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 1.57/day in the week to Sep 15 → 1.75/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

After many years of living the hectic city life, you finally decide to leave everything behind to buy your first lot of land in the country and start a new life, in the quiet, close to nature. However, your skills as a farmer will be put to the test to make your ranch a flourishing business and earn the villagers' respect and esteem.
Take care of animals, grow crops, claim resources, buy new lots of land, and much more. You'll have plenty of space to create the ranch of your dreams.
The Ranchers is for you if you:
Are looking for a farming simulator with sandbox freedom to play your way.
You want a cozy space to unwind, but with enough action to keep things exciting.
Love farm simulator games.
Appreciate a big open world waiting to be explored.
Want to build alone or invite up to three friends to help out.
Find joy in the creative freedom of base-building and home decoration.
Fancy the charm of indie games built on passion.
Grab your trusty hammer and head over to your workbench! Gather basic resources and turn them into useful items such as fences, sprinklers, greenhouses, and much more. Transform your humble home into a thriving ranch!
Managing a ranch can be expensive. Optimize your Ranch's resource consumption, sign water, electricity contracts, or build your water wells, wind turbines, and solar panels and sell your surplus to the village.
A well-tended ranch will produce the high quality crops you need to catch the attention of the villagers, fulfill daily orders, and sell your goods at the local markets for a decent profit to keep things running smoothly.
It wouldn't be a proper ranch without animals! Build barns and coops of all sizes, and invite little (and big) friends to join you. From chickens and bunnies to goats and cows, you can pick your favorites or try to collect at least one of each.
Whether on foot, by bike, in a pickup truck, or in a fancy sports car, there is so much to explore. From markets and fashion boutiques to car dealerships, parks, or even a casino, it’s all waiting for you. But be mindful of the clock! Just like in real life, The Ranchers features both shifting seasons and a daily cycle, meaning you’ll need to plan your errands carefully while the stores are open.
A simple studio-apartment or a multi-story house? It's really up to you. Build your home from scratch and decorate it as you please. Rancher, home builder AND designer? Not too shabby.
Invite up to 3 friends to visit your ranch and enjoy country life together! Farm, build, raise animals, explore the open world, and help each other grow.
Each player has their own ranch and world progression. When you join a friend, you are visiting the host’s world, so ranch and quest progression remain tied to the host’s save.
However, playing as a guest still rewards your own progression: you earn money and Skill Points (XP), and you can bring any items and blueprints in your inventory back to your own ranch.
Play entirely solo, open your ranch to friends, or visit theirs whenever they’re online.
Are you a good citizen or living on the edge? In The Ranchers, actions can have consequences. Destroying, stealing or reckless driving may fall under the police’s radar, so be careful - or simply enjoy the rush of an action-packed getaway!

Игра редкостный баганый проект! пре альфа! очень жалко потраченых денег. 1. любой квест можно нечаянно забагать. 50/50 разбагается он или нет. если не то все дальше ты не пройдешь! 2. строительство дома тот еще садомазохизм. все дергается тресется. в некоторых постройках вообще нет логики , типа ванна туалет умывальник , они жрут воду не помыться не посрать не умыться нельзя. 3. посадки могут пропасть сами по себе, животные тоже. 4. управление что персонажем что машиной полное дерьмо. Игра сырая, кривая, и не стоит своих денег.
Мне нравится идея игры и ее исполнение. Исправьте только пожалуйста управление, например слишком много действий приходится предпринимать чтобы взять топор, закрыть инвентарь и только потом рубить дерево. Перемещение предметов тоже не очень удобное. Заметил, что управление автомобилем стало заметно лучше, но нужно еще довести до идеала. Сама игра очень нравится, успеха разработчикам!

The game is already great and i only just started it. Been in my wishlist for 5 years and im finally playing it im so happy.
Mega coole Idee, an sich auch super cooles game - aber zu jetzigen Zeitpunkt nicht zu empfehlen! Es sind so viele bugs, dass das Spiel praktisch unspielbar ist. Super frustrierend.
I love the game, right now I lost several chickens and my rooster is stuck in the door, now my chickens and chick is outside I cant pick any of them, my chick is starving snd mslnourished because he cant move, one chicken escape and I can't pick her up, please help
This game is so addicting and fun, I just can't get enough. For the price and it being in early access it really is worth the cost. I can't wait to see how the game improves throughout development. FYI This plays like a single player game. Others can join your world and help on your farm, but you aren't really playing with others. All of this could change in the future though.
After 7 hours, not many I know....but being honest. I am genuinely enjoying this game as a first time player away from any pre-release demos and alpha testing etc. From a solo dev / very small team, the quality of this game is second to none, tonnes of content, so much to do, huge map, big town, appears to be a huge solo campaign and many hours of content. This game feels like a mixture of Big Ambitions, Stardew Valley, old school GTA (old folks will know) and a few others all mixed into one! Pros - Good story - Large map - Lots to do - Farming sim - Open world - Do whatever you want! Cons - some save issues, where backlog happens - lack of menu to help basic stuff (I had to Google how to de-weed) - A lot of police, like a police state xD - Some lack of clear basic instructions
Honest review..... Initially I had an issue where I could not connect to the game but there is a work around (Don't think this is necessarily devs fault) I am now nearly 4 hours into the game and can tell I have barely even scratched the surface. I think I have played most farming simulator/management games possible and have been looking for something to scratch an itch with a slightly updated ui/graphics to Stardew and I think this is it! Negatives - - Yes it is EA and yes there are bugs and some clunky mechanics......but the game has been out 4 hours! People are quick to review and I think it is very unjust for devs who have put their lives into this game. - The driving is not the best to be honest (But you can skip most driving anyway to your destination) - It is an energy based game similar to Stardew, you can get a ton more ways to get energy though so its not an issue even though im not a fan. - Building can 'seem' a little glitchy. But you just have to use your brain a bit for it to work. (i.e. Placing a supporting wall below to finish a roof) Positives - - Absolute chilled/cosy vibes - The farming is simplistic and fun - The quests are great! A lot of thought has been put in to these clearly and they help so much - Gameplay hours, I have clearly not even started yet at 4 hours in, which makes me excited for what the future holds for this game - The devs are extremely interacted with the player base (Mostly in Discord) - Hotfix pushed out within 4 hours of opening (Amazing!) - Graphics are great - Simple character creation without going through endless customisations Overall I am very impressed with this game. I waited for around 2 hours to find a way to play this game and was so tempted to refund it especially with the bad reviews being written in the mean time. I am so happy I ignored these reviews though and what an amazing game you have created! Ignore the bad reviews, in fact do what I did and ignore all reviews.....if it looks like something you will enjoy, trust me.....you will enjoy it!
Je n'ai pas l'habitude de mettre des commentaires négatifs même si je sais que ca reste une early access, le jeu pourrait etre une pépite, concept chill, on farm ses champs pépère et ses animaux, graphisme plutôt sympa en low poly qui donne un style, une map plutôt grande . En l'état actuel, le jeu ressemble a un tuto, les premières quêtes t'aide a développé ta ferme dans le bon sens, et... plus rien... Il a des logiques qui semblent dementiel, les poules qui mange du foin par exemple, l'architecte a la mairie qui te vend des cailloux, et des branches, et te rachete tes legumes... un magasin de bricolage aurait parfaitement fait l'affaire pour ca... Les dialogues avec les pnj sont ultra bridé pas de choix multiples, pas de bon mauvais choix. Sans compter les bugs, map qui ne s'affiche plus, etc... Je changerais mon avis si le jeu, se developpe dans le bon sens ( enfin si on doit pas attendre encore 4 ans ) mais en l'etat 20e c'est beaucoup trop cher.
垃圾游戏,全是BUG,链接游戏还得半天,经常进不去界面,谁买谁后悔
