Another perpetual Steam Early Access: authors of a rapper GTA clone are removing Rapper Life Simulation from Valve's service

Steam Early Access doesn't become a success for everyone. Rapper Life Simulation never managed to become a noticeable hit.

A few years ago, the game Rapper Life Simulation was released in Steam Early Access. It is a project from the “GTA clones” series.

Rapper Life Simulation was positioned by its developers as a realistic simulation game combining rap music and gangster life:

“You can start your rap life with a text message or an email. After starting, all that's left is to go to the studio, talk to the producer, and write your own rap song. After that, social media accounts, digital music platforms, concerts, and much more are now in your hands!”.

The developers highlighted the following features of the game:

  • Realistic life simulator
  • Creating songs in the studio
  • Gangster missions
  • Interaction with people
  • Shopping and food
  • Great car system
  • Street shows
  • Mini-games
  • Social media

Rapper Life Simulation received overwhelmingly negative reviews on Steam. Players noted that it was “very, very early access,” with many technical problems and buggy game mechanics.

In 2024, the developers resurfaced and announced that they plan to stop selling the game. No farewell discount was offered.
