Everybody likes the idea of making their first million. Newly launched The First Million turns that ambition into a roguelike deckbuilder filled with cards, upgrades, and increasingly ridiculous profit strategies.
The goal is exactly what the title suggests. Players work toward earning their first million by unlocking new cards, discovering powerful upgrades, and gradually building strategies capable of generating increasingly ridiculous amounts of money.
The catch is that you’re not expected to get there on your first attempt.
Every run unlocks new possibilities, adding fresh cards, upgrades, and tools that make future attempts more efficient. Progress comes from learning how different systems interact, experimenting with new combinations, and uncovering strategies capable of sending profits through the roof.
The game also includes a range of challenge modes designed to push players away from comfortable builds. Many of the strongest cards and upgrades are locked behind these challenges, encouraging experimentation rather than relying on the same strategy every run.
For players who enjoy competing against others, there’s also a daily mode featuring a shared card pool where everyone works with the same tools and attempts to generate the biggest profits possible.
The First Million launched today on Steam, two days ahead of its initial release date of the 26th July.
