Discounty ‘People or Profit?’ update announced

Available now for PC, in July for consoles.

Publisher PQube and developer Crinkle Cut Games have announced the free update “People or Profit?” for supermarket life simulation game Discounty. It is available now for PC, with a release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and Switch planned for July.

Here is an overview of the update, via PQube:

About the Update
The “People or Profit?” expansion takes place directly after the original ending of Discounty. In the brand-new chapter, Aunt Tellar finally puts players in charge, leaving them responsible for deciding the fate of Discounty… and Blomkest. Depending on the decisions players make through the branching final questline, and the people they decide to align with, they will see one of three new endings to the game. Throughout the chapter, players will cross paths with three eccentric new characters; Gaspard, Tammy’s disgraced brother who dreams of running a hydroponic farm; Angeel, a bougie city girl opening a branch of the luxury grocery store Muimerp; and Casey, a “troubled” teen attempting to sell players “legitimate” goods from the trunk of their car.

Key Features

Town Restoration – Take on renovations big and small to restore Blomkest to its former glory! Help Solruna get back her old shop, reopen the long-neglected John Key museum, pry open the mysterious old shed…or erect Discounty billboards all over town.
