Hoop Land is a retro-inspired basketball simulation and management game playable on Mac (via Steam Early Access alongside Windows and Linux) that combines arcade-style court action with deep season-long strategy and league control. Released on October 21, 2025, Hoop Land lets players experience basketball from multiple perspectives — from creating a player in Career Mode and climbing from college prospects to pro stardom, to managing an entire franchise’s roster, finances, and drafting strategy, and even running the whole league as Commissioner.
The gameplay mixes 2D retro visuals and true physics-based shots with customizable, multi-season campaigns that integrate college and professional basketball systems. You can play matches in real time using precise controls, or opt to simulate games while focusing on big-picture decisions like trades, training, and player development. Customize every aspect of your leagues — from team names and uniforms to court designs and awards — and share your creations with the community. Hoop Land also offers local multiplayer options, allowing split-screen PvP and co-op play with friends.
As an Early Access title, Hoop Land continues to evolve with regular updates, new features like Steam Workshop support, and improvements to gameplay and customization.
