About Progress98
Progress98 is an incremental game that strips the genre down to its core. There's no fishing, farming, mining or fighting here, only progress. It all happens inside a retro desktop window styled like a late-1990s computer, with a blue title bar, chunky gray buttons and a status bar along the bottom.
You play as an employee earning two currencies, credits and dollars, with a counter for each at the top of the window. Upgrades come in Kilo, Mega and Giga tiers, a mini-game adds bonus income, and a prestige system sits on top for the longer haul. Passive income keeps building too, and when you return, a welcome-back screen shows what you earned while you were away.
You can push hard and chase progress as fast as possible, or leave it running in another tab and check in now and then. This browser version is a demo, and a session runs about half an hour. You can play Progress98 online right here.
How to Play Progress98
- Click through the welcome screen to get to work.
- Earn credits and dollars, shown in the two counters at the top of the window.
- Spend them on Kilo, Mega and Giga upgrades to make progress faster.
- Play the mini-game for bonus income when you want a change of pace.
- Try the prestige system when it becomes available to push your progress further.
- Leave it running or close it. Passive income adds up, and the game shows your earnings when you come back.
What to Expect in Progress98
Expect a calm, self-aware incremental game with a sense of humor about itself. Progress98 knows the joke, that the numbers going up is the whole point, and leans into it with an office-software look and a cheerful welcome-back screen for its employee.
It's low-pressure enough to keep open in a background tab while you work on something else. Play Progress98 free here and let the progress pile up.
Tips for Progress98
- Check the passive rates before you step away. The window lists credits per second and dollars per second, so you know what's building while you're gone.
- Do not ignore the mini-game. It adds bonus income on top of your regular earnings.
- Buy the cheaper Kilo upgrades first, then move up to Mega and Giga ones as your income grows.
- Keep an eye on the All Targets percentage in the status bar. It tracks how far along you are.
- Come back in the same browser. Your save lives there, and the welcome screen tallies what you earned while you were offline.

Can I play Progress98 on a Chromebook or phone?
Progress98 runs in the browser, so a Chromebook, laptop or desktop works well. Its window is tall and narrow with small buttons, which suits a mouse on a computer screen. Phones may load it, but those small buttons are easier to hit with a cursor than a finger.
Is Progress98 unblocked at school?
Progress98 needs only a browser tab, with no download or plugin. Whether it opens on a school or work network depends on that network's filter, which we do not control. If the game loads, it plays the same way it does anywhere else.
Does Progress98 earn money while I'm away?
Yes. It tracks passive income for both credits and dollars, and when you come back, a welcome screen shows what you earned while you were offline and how long you were gone. Return in the same browser so the game can pick up your save.
Is Progress98 an idle game or a clicker game?
It works either way. You can actively push your progress or let passive income do the work while you're busy elsewhere. It's an incremental game at heart, built so both styles keep moving you forward, which makes it easy to fit around whatever else you're doing.
