- EA V2.0 Playtest - Help Shape the Biggest Update to Bank Simulator - 21 August 2026
EA V2.0 is the biggest update we've built for Bank Simulator. We've redesigned the Loan system, the Bond system, and the Marketing system from the ground up, reworked how money flows through your bank, and enhanced the Teller. ATMs are becoming ATM Rooms, and yes - the ATM car is now a Cash Car.And that's not everything. There's more in EA V2.0 we're not ready to talk about yet.We're not ready to share numbers or a release date yet - a lot of this is still being tuned, and that's exactly why we need you. Before EA V2.0 goes live, we're running a closed playtest with a limited number of players. You'll get early hands-on access to the reworked systems, and your feedback will directly shape what ships.Spots are limited.
