About

Data Center Tycoon

Features
Read full description

Start with one reception desk. Finish with a 27-floor data centre and a space station. Data Center Tycoon is an idle tycoon game about building the world's largest server empire — one floor at a time. BUILD YOUR TOWER Unlock 27 floors, from Reception and the Server Hall up to Quantum Computing and the Executive Suite. Kit each one out with racks, cooling and hardware, and watch the cash roll in. HIRE MANAGERS, THEN RELAX Tap floors to collect early on. Hire a manager and that floor collects itself — forever. Build enough of them and the whole tower runs while you sleep. EARNINGS WHILE YOU'RE AWAY Your data centre keeps working when the app is closed. Come back to a pile of cash and put it straight into the next floor. PRESTIGE INTO ORBIT Rebuild the company to earn Data Points — permanent income multipliers that carry across every run. Prestige also unlocks the Orbital Data Center, a second tower of ten space floors that keeps earning alongside the first. RESEARCH AND UPGRADE Spend Data Points in the R&D Lab on faster builds, better cooling, luckier crits and more. 35 achievements, daily rewards and limited-time events keep the tower growing. No forced ads. Watch one if you want a bonus, or don't — the game plays fine either way.
