Version 2.06New ContentAdded a notification when attempting to collect eggs from the chicken coop while the egg tray is full. Added descriptions for crowdfunded items in the shop. Added a Mod protection system. A notification will now appear when a Mod cannot be used properly. Added a sparkling water image to liquid containers. Made the crowdfunded recipe “Mint Coconut Green Tea” publicly available. ImprovementsAdjusted the number of blueberries required for the “Grape Sparkling Drink” recipe. Updated the description of “Bunny Fresh Milk.”Reduced egg production and increased the selling price of eggs. Adjusted the price of “Mint Coconut Green Tea.”Improved the UI layout and scaling of the Fish Collection. Adjusted collision for several door frames. Updated the icon for the “Super Barrel of Mineral Water.”Hidden the mochi that is exclusive to crowdfunding supporters. Bug FixesFixed an issue where chicks would not move after being placed by a client player. Fixed an issue where spring fish in the Fish Collection incorrectly displayed summer-related text. Fixed an issue where eggs could not be collected from the chicken coop when the egg tray contained 0 eggs. Fixed an issue where pausing the game at 9:00 PM and then continuing would incorrectly count the elapsed time toward Night Mode, causing Night Mode to jump directly to 3:00 AM when opened.

Boba Cafe Simulator Launches on Steam with Week-One Discount and Competitive Events
Boba Cafe Simulator (AppID 3683770) is now available on Steam following its July 24 launch. The developers have paired the release with a 35% discount, bringing the price to $10.39 from a regular $15.99. The offer runs through July 31, and the announcement states this will be the steepest discount available within the game's first twelve months.
A launch FAQ covering thirty questions is also available for prospective buyers.
Launch Events
Two events accompany the release:
Event 1 — Drink Sales Championship (July 24–26)
Players register in-game and compete to sell the highest volume of drinks. Rankings are based on total completed drinks; in multiplayer, only the host's sales count toward the leaderboard.
🥇 1st place: $15 Steam Gift Card
🥈 2nd place: $9 Steam Gift Card
🥉 3rd place: $5 Steam Gift Card
Five randomly selected participants: $2.90 Steam Gift Cards each
Winners are to be announced July 27.
Event 2 — Share Your Café (July 24–August 7)
Players post Boba Cafe Simulator content — screenshots, videos, guides, fan art, or multiplayer moments — to social media using #BobaCafeSimulator and tagging the developer's official account. Ten creators will be selected on creativity, entertainment, and quality; each winner receives a Steam key to share with a friend.
For players on the fence, the pricing window is narrow — the discount closes at the end of July, and the developers have explicitly committed to no deeper sale for a full year after launch.
