PC Building Simulator: EVGA Workshop

PC Building Simulator: EVGA Workshop was developed by The Irregular Corporation and released in 2021 as downloadable content for the original PC Building Simulator. Published by the same company, this DLC was available for PC as an optional add-on, expanding the game’s variety of custom workshop environments. It was created in collaboration with EVGA, a well-known manufacturer of high-performance PC components, and offered players the opportunity to build and repair systems in a workspace themed entirely around the brand’s distinct visual style.

The EVGA Workshop transforms the player’s work environment into a sleek, modern, and industrial-inspired setting, drawing design cues from EVGA’s focus on performance and engineering. The workshop features branded furniture, wall art, and hardware displays, creating the impression of working inside an official EVGA facility or a high-end enthusiast’s studio. The inspiration clearly comes from the company’s real-world marketing and showroom designs, with clean lines, metallic finishes, and a professional atmosphere reinforcing the brand’s premium identity.

From a gameplay perspective, the EVGA Workshop functions as a purely cosmetic upgrade, meaning it does not alter the mechanics of PC Building Simulator but changes the space in which players work. It is compatible with all modes of the base game, including the career and free build modes, so players can use it as their permanent workshop or switch between other purchased environments. The soundtrack remains the same as the base game’s calm and ambient electronic score, ensuring that the visual transformation takes centre stage without introducing new audio elements.

Promotion for the EVGA Workshop centred on showcasing the high-quality, brand-specific details of the environment through videos and screenshots, appealing particularly to fans of EVGA hardware. Marketing leveraged the company’s strong reputation in the PC enthusiast market, framing the DLC as both a tribute to and an extension of the EVGA brand experience. Reception was positive among players who enjoyed customising their workshop, with praise for the authenticity and polish of the design. While some noted that it offered no new gameplay features, it was widely seen as a stylish and well-executed addition for fans of the base game.
