NEW - The Initiation. Your first steps are guided: one stage per link of the loop - buy shares, take control, collect a dividend, borrow. The loop closes in front of you. YOUR SHAREHOLDERS. A board sets you targets and judges you at the deadline. Meet them, or it votes you out. Credit rating, bonds, and leverage that has a price. FEWER ADS. The interstitial cadence has been loosened considerably. FIXES. The "PRIVE" badge and the control star now show in full in your companies list.

The home screen finally tells you what is holding you back. Your holding's loop — capital, position, control, cash flow — is now drawn at the top of the screen, with the link throttling it highlighted: leverage stretched too far, a subsidiary losing money, control a few points away, or capital sitting idle. Every time, the exact figure and the move that clears it. Every company now carries its own emblem, too: no more interchangeable logos. And seasons have a name. “New Deal” opens on October 12: a contract of ten goals to complete in 28 days, XP for every line you tick, and a Pioneer title only this season awards. Twelve seasons follow one another, each with its own goals and title. What you tick stays ticked, even if you start a new game.

Links that point to the game now open in the app instead of Safari: an event or shared link takes you straight to the right place.

A complete overhaul of the game's economy. READ THE ACCOUNTS Every company now publishes a full balance sheet and income statement, with over thirty financial ratios — liquidity, solvency, profitability, valuation. Each one is explained in a sentence: what it is for, and what its number means. An expert mode shows the formulas. A WORLD MAP Twenty-eight real countries, with the companies based in each. Take control of a territory to pass laws there: a German subsidy only benefits your German companies. COMPANIES THAT LIVE AND DIE Startups launch into whichever sector is hot. Most fail, a few become unicorns. Struggling companies now actually go under — and failure is decided on the real checks of financial analysis: interest coverage, equity ratio, current ratio. TAKING MARKET SHARE A giant keeps its quality but loses its growth as it matures. A more innovative company takes ground back, slowly but genuinely. Also: a yearly summary instead of the weekly one, longer seasons, R&D funded from your subsidiaries' own cash, more legible text throughout, and many fixes.

The app is now called Business Tycoon — the spelling is finally right, on your home screen and on the App Store listing. Fixed: companies founded by your rivals were taking up your own founding slots, so the game could refuse you a new company even when you had founded only one. Your current game is repaired automatically on launch. Stability fixes and general polish.
