Schedule 1's Moonshot on SteamDeveloped by solo creator Tyler, Schedule 1 took off as one of the best-selling games of 2025. The drug dealer simulator attracted hundreds of thousands of players right at launch, even boasting nearly 460,000 concurrent players at its highest point.
In May 2025, the game sold over 8 million copies on Steam, generating just over $125 million in revenue. Despite the massive success of this game, the developer has not shared anything in terms of an official port for consoles or mobile.
Even after more than 200,000 reviews on Steam, averaging nearly 98% positive notes, Schedule 1 continues to clock on average of 30,000 active players everyday.
Clones Available on PlayStation Store
If there is no official port, the next best thing is clone versions that have been added to PlayStation's store. The latest has been a Schedule 1 - Drug Dealer priced at $13. This clone not only uses artwork that looks similar to the original but is easy for someone to confuse with a real release.
The reviews tell a different story, with more than 450 reviews averaging a score of 1.33 stars.
And this isn't the only fake. A search for Schedule 1 on the PlayStation store also pulls up titles like Schedule 1: Dope Empire, another lower-tier clone that has over 2,000 negative reviews. It would seem there is a growing trend with faux game titles taking advantage of unsuspecting players.
From Mimic to Success
Interestingly enough, Schedule 1 was criticized at the time of its launch for cloning Drug Dealer Simulator, a game that had been released years earlier.
While there are some comparative references, Schedule 1 has gone far beyond its predecessor in terms of popularity and sales. Just goes to show that there is sometimes success for games accused of mimicry.
