THE GAME OF LIFE 2 is a contemporary sequel to the classic THE GAME OF LIFE game, released on Steam in 2015. With some key changes to gameplay, Marmalade Game Studio has made the journey more relatable to our modern times. For a start, players can win the game with more than just money.

Michael Willis, CEO of Marmalade Game Studio, said:
“Bringing a game to a new platform is always exciting, and we’re especially proud to be launching THE GAME OF LIFE 2 on Steam. We’ve been overwhelmed by the reception the game has had on mobile, and we know that players want to challenge their friends and family on PC. The GAME OF LIFE has been very successful since its release, and in making THE GAME OF LIFE 2 we not only added modern options, but modern gameplay. It’s a step forward in so many ways and I couldn’t be more proud of the team at Marmalade for bringing it to life. We can’t wait to see what the Steam community makes of it.”
