London – 24 July 2025 – Calling all future shopkeepers: Discounty, the charming and lively supermarket management sim set in the quirky harbour town of Blomkest, is now available to sample on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, with a Nintendo Switch demo arriving on 31 July. This vibrant demo gives console players their first chance to explore Blomkest and put their small-town retail instincts to the test before launch. PC players can already dive into the demo on Steam.
Additionally, digital pre-orders for Discounty are now live, offering a 20% pre-order discount on PlayStation 4 & 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Switch. PC players can also wishlist the game on Steam, where a 20% launch discount will be available. For collectors and fans of boxed editions, physical pre-orders are available at major retailers for Switch and PS5.
In Discounty, players inherit and take charge of their aunt’s humble supermarket in the delightfully quirky town of Blomkest. They’ll stock shelves, strike trade deals, customize the shop layout, and keep customers happy – all while building friendships (or rivalries) with the locals. Along the way, they’ll uncover small-town secrets and grow the business from modest beginnings into a thriving retail empire. But success comes at a cost, and not everyone in Blomkest is ready for change.
Those who are prepared to build a retail empire or just want to see how fast cozy capitalism can unravel a tight-knit community can pre-order Discounty now to ensure they'll be ready on day one.
