Mr. President Early Access Details
January 26, 2026. The Oval Office awaits.
Mr. President Early Access begins on January 26, 2026 during Steam’s Board Game Fest.
Mr. President is a solo sandbox simulation of the U.S. presidency. Set in a world of high-stakes diplomacy, lethal global threats, and complex domestic policy, you must lead the nation through its most defining moments.
Why Early Access?
Mr. President will continue to receive substantial UI, feature, and content updates on a monthly basis for the next year or so. We would like to involve the community in the game’s development so that we can create the best presidential simulation in the market.
Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?
Mr. President will be in Early Access for approximately 1 year.
How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?
During Mr. President’s development, we plan to make the digital version have feature parity with the paper version (2nd edition) and include additional digital-only features. The full version will include 100 additional Crisis Cards which will be delivered in subsequent updates as we build upon the initial Early Access Build. Also any missing gameplay systems from the board game such as Scandals, Nuclear Missile Tracks, and the remaining Crisis Chits and table roll entries will be included in the full version. The full version will also include several special scenarios based on modern presidencies as well as two additional difficulties (Easier, Harder) for the Sandbox scenario.
Additionally, we plan to implement some special digital only features such as:
Allowing for the player to select an avatar portrait to represent themselves in the game.
A detailed Legacy screen summarizing all events that took place in a player’s presidency.
Steam Cloud Saves and Achievements
