Schedule I soared to the top of Steam's sales charts upon its launch, outpacing major titles like Monster Hunter Wilds, GTA 5, and Marvel Rivals. Its viral spread across social media, Twitch, and YouTube propelled it to fame. In the game, players start as small-time drug dealers in the gritty city of Hyland Point, with the goal of becoming a kingpin by manufacturing and distributing various drugs. Players can expand their empire through properties, businesses, and hiring employees.
Developed and published by TVGS, the Australian indie developer Tyler, he described the game's launch as "amazing but pretty overwhelming." In a Reddit post, Tyler shared his surprise at the game's reception, saying, "I never expected this kind of response! At the moment I’m just trying to stay focused and get patches out ASAP. Also looking forward to getting started on content updates as soon as all major bugs are patched."
