Architect Life: A House Design Simulator will allow players to experience all the stress of commercial project management on PS5. Deliverables will arrive in phases, beginning with launch on 5th June. From the initial schematics to on-site decision-making, if you ever wanted to pretend to be an architect to impress others, then Architect Life is for you.
Video games really have come a long way, as we have to imagine the incredibly involved simulation on display has some basis in authentic architectural design. Career mode lets you start a firm, taking on the responsibility of delivering finished projects through a series of key stages, described by developer Shine Research as:
- FIRST FIX – Model the walls, rooms, roofs, doors, windows, balconies, etc., according to the customer’s requirements, the terrain, the allocated budget and your creative ideas
- SECOND FIX – Select the floor, wall and roof coverings to maximise the project’s personal touch, and then install the home’s heating systems to ensure a comfortable temperature even in winter
- OUTDOORS – Swimming pools, garages, verandas and more to wow your clients before they even have the time to walk through the front door!
- LAYOUT – Get the most from every room through judicious placement of the key furniture to enable your buyers to picture themselves in their future home
- DECORATION – An option for the most creative players who want to try their hand at decorating their house down to the finest details, from a candle on a chest of drawers to the exact placement and colour of the cushions on the sofa!
- CONSTRUCTION – Select the subcontractors according to your remaining budget and supervise the site while being ready to react to chance events – after all, construction work is notorious for never going exactly to plan!

But can I build my own house in it?
I love when my game of the year just shows up out of no where, without me even knowing it exists. Roll on June.
That subheading gave me a good chuckle. Hopefully the game will let you recreate the addition to the Guggenheim Museum and other works by the inimitable Art Vandelay.
As a worker in Project Management, I am unsure why anyone would want to replicate that level of stress
Jokes aside… I want this! Looks good.
Having just spent 7 months project managing the extension/redesign of my own house and enjoying the process overall, this looks like an opportunity to scratch that itch without the cost, the stress, the delays and tradesmen letting you down... although without those things it wouldn't be a realistic sim!
