Of all the Golden Joystick Awards 2025 winners, Schedule 1 arguably stood out as one of the most unique – after all, it is about running your own drug empire… but, what if it wasn’t?
After launching into Early Access on Steam, Schedule 1 took the web by storm and currently sits with “Overwhelmingly Positive” reviews eight months on. Players praise it as a fun management game, with many spending over 100 hours in-game. At the Golden Joystick Awards, Schedule 1 further proved itself with a win and a nomination, bagging the Breakthrough Award and going up as a Best Early Access Game contender.

Rules:
I enjoyed the demo but had no idea it was doing this good. I’m glad to hear it! It’s on my wishlist but I’m just not sure I want to get into a management game atm
I played the demo no problem on Linux and I went to buy it and it wouldn’t launch saying windows only. I had to refund.
It might have been my problem somehow but troubleshooting a new game is not something I’m willing to spend my time on.
