“Madam Presidentress, I’m President of America, which is basically the world, but you didn’t hear that from me.” Rick & Morty can be pretty sharp some times. But now, this can apply to you. Ever wanted to wield unfathomable power where your slightest decision could affect all of humankind? Welcome to I Am Your President.
You can Lead the World
I Am Your President is a political survival game where you can become the President of the United States of America. The game is full of political and ideological clashes between Democrats and Republicans, various crisis situations, major foreign policy struggles. But thankfully, it’s all delivered with a satirical twist.
Developed by the independent President Studio, the simulator was debuted in 2023 on PC. Ultimate Games S.A. has handled the porting of the Xbox One version. Thanks to backward compatibility, the title also plays on Xbox Series X|S.
What Makes a World Leader?
As Ultimate Games explain, I Am Your President is a unique political survival game based on the mechanics of a narrative strategy game. The player starts out as the newly elected president of the United States and must fight for political survival and sufficient public support to have a chance at a second term.
The game takes a closer look at the specifics of big politics. As the new US president, you must, among other things, talks to people, makes political decisions, attends press conferences and conducts foreign policy. In your free time, you can also run presidential social media channels and prepare speeches.

In I Am Your President, you’ll have access to a special political compass. This indicates how your decisions place themselves on the ideological map. You can pursue a policy of lavishing around the mythical centralist or be closer to the Democratic or Republican line. But then, you can just as well bet on radical ideological lines from the right or left. Similar freedom also applies to foreign and defense policy. A player can be isolationist or, on the contrary, pursue an active or even offensive policy.
The title is also full of random events, so each approach to the game can look a little different. The developers also decided to make some references to real people, political events or conspiracy theories. Once again, it’s important to note this isn’t delivered as a dry simulation. There are also satirical and humorous elements in I Am Your President.
I Am Your President is available now on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. The game is priced at $19.99 USD/£16.74 GBP. Chit Hot will deliver a review of the game in due course.
