New difficulty and language make the game more accessible to players
Naiive Studio today announced a new update for Insider Trading, the stock market-inspired roguelike deckbuilder on Steam. Following a successful launch, during which Insider Trading appeared on Steam’s New & Trending list for a week, the new Trainee difficulty mode makes the game more approachable for newcomers.
The update also introduces several quality-of-life enhancements, including:

- Adjusted tutorial flow for a smoother onboarding experience
- Automatic selection of the last played difficulty and character when restarting the game
Alongside this, the game can now be fully experienced in Russian. Insider Trading now supports eleven languages: English, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean, French, German, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, and Russian.
About Insider Trading
Insider Trading is a stock-themed roguelike deckbuilder where the market you create can just as easily crush you. Stack synergies, trigger price swings, and take control so your momentum won’t bankrupt you.
- Control the Stock Market: Every card directly affects a shared stock price that defines the run. Pushing prices higher opens new opportunities, but unchecked growth increases volatility and makes collapse more likely.
- Explosive Combos: Cards belong to distinct types, and playing multiple cards of the same type in a single turn triggers combo effects. Smart sequencing and deck construction can turn small hands into explosive plays.
- Winning Isn’t Always Safe: Rising prices unlock stronger effects and bigger payouts, but they also make the market harder to control. Many runs end not because of bad luck, but because success was pushed too far.
- Characters That Shift the Rules: Each character starts with a unique deck and mechanics that reshape how risk, control, and volatility are approached from the very first turn.
- Chaos in Every Run: Events, perks, and one-time pills can dramatically alter a run mid-game, forcing players to adapt when their strategy stops working the way they expected.
- High Stakes Only: Optional difficulty modes tighten margins and increase penalties, rewarding players who understand when to slow down and when to let the market crash.
