Game Overview

Idol Manager is a management simulation game developed by Glitch Pitch and published by PLAYISM. It was first released on PC via Steam on July 27, 2021. At that time, the companies said the Switch version was planned, but no definite release date was announced.

A year later, PLAYISM and Glitch Pitch have announced the console versions are coming on August 25.

Check out the game description below via Steam.

You take on the role of manager at a small (but growing!) talent agency. As you cultivate and train the newest generation of young pop stars, you’ll have to decide who to hire and who to fire, who gets promoted when things go well and who gets reprimanded when things get sour. The personal lives of these young celebrities are a part of your business, and the life of a pop star isn’t always a happy one. Their crowning personal achievements can be your greatest commercial successes, but their emotional meltdowns and public relations nightmares can spell financial disaster for your company.

It’s not just the idols you have to worry about. The world is full of gossip magazines, super fans, and rival groups, all thirsty for a scoop on the latest scandal. There’s a lot of people who want to tear you down and are willing to play dirty, but try not to let it get to you. It’s not personal, it’s business.
