Idol Manager now Available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation®4, and PlayStation®5

31 Aug, 2022

Idol Manager on consoles (digital download) has just launched on Aug 25th!

Thanks to our Steam community's positive feedback and support for the game, we were able to bring this title to consoles. We wanted to extend our heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you, it wouldn't have been possible without you.
While the console versions come with controller support and an optimized UI layout, it is still the same game that you love and enjoy.
We really hope that this will help grow the Idol Manager community, bringing in more and more fans of the title.

For those who own a Switch, PS4 or PS5, why don't you give the console version a try too? Remember, these idols, no matter how much they get paid, or if they get caught up in scandals, or if they don't get along well with their group mates, they can only reach the top of the idol entertainment industry with a capable producer backing them up!
