Home Tycoon is the first 3D city-building game where you can create your dream city from the ground up, explore it at street level as your own avatar, and share your metropolis with friends – and it’s coming soon, exclusively to PlayStation Home.
We’ve been hard at work on Home Tycoon for quite some time here at Hellfire Games. Featuring a robust city-building simulation, tons of story-driven missions and activities, vehicle driving (complete with turbo-charged cars and stunt ramps), and over 50 avatar rewards to unlock, Home Tycoon is the first game of its kind in PlayStation Home.
From Hometown to Metropolis
As the newly-elected mayor, you’ll gather resources and broker strategic business deals to kick-start your town’s economy. You’ll need to work with representatives from the mysterious-yet-ecofriendly TransUtopia organisation and the profit-hungry GloboSyn corporation along the way. Will you lead a truly green city built on renewable energy, or choose the more profitable route to prosperity?
With over 60 unlockable buildings at your disposal throughout the game, you’ll craft and personalise your city with apartment buildings, luxury homes, public parks, power plants, research hospitals, police stations and much more – the only limit is your imagination.
Start Your Engines
Every new city has its fair share of problems, and who better to deal with them than an amateur Mayor? From city-wide fires to complete nuclear meltdowns, you’ll wear plenty of hats (figuratively and literally) to save your town from total destruction. Each mission series comes with its own over-the-top storyline and activities, with tongue planted firmly in cheek.
Among those activities, driving tricked-out sports cars will surely become a favorite among racing fans. We can’t wait to see what our fans come up with once they start building custom racetracks and stunt courses!
Key Features:
- Build your dream city from a bird’s-eye view and explore it at street level as your PlayStation Home avatar
- Balance your economy to maximise your city’s income, growth, and happiness
- Create custom racetracks and drive like a maniac with your friends
- Compete on the leaderboards and visit other cities at the Train Station
- Make your city shine with dynamic day and night controls
- Expand your empire with mission packs, unlockable building rewards, and suburb cities
We’ve worked hard to ensure Home Tycoon offers something for everyone. Looking for a real-time virtual city simulation? Do you love single-player story modes with branching dialogues and activities? Enjoy showing off your creations to friends and strangers? Or maybe you just want to launch a sports car clean over a donut shop. In every case, Home Tycoon has what you’re looking for.

In the video they say “free to play” and got to love this kind of advertisement LOL I don’t even want to know its price but I’m pointing to something between 15 to 20 Euros.

According to the trailer, it’s free to play. Does it require some items to be purchased for all you see in the trailer?
Posted on 12 September, 2012 at 5:59 pm by Ben Lewis
In addition to all the free content available at launch, we’ll also have premium buildings, virtual items with permanent in-game bonuses, and expansion packs containing new missions, activities, and rewards, with plenty more planned for the weeks and months following launch.
This will be a very community-driven game, so we can’t wait to see what our players come up with. The variety of custom racetracks alone should be awesome.

Come on back! There’s a ton of content coming out in PlayStation Home every week — if Home Tycoon is the game that brings you back in, that works for us.
