You take the role of an angler visiting fishing locations around the world, from lakes and rivers to coastal waters. The game features more than 60 fish species across freshwater and saltwater.
Choose float, bottom, spinning, or casting gear, then customize your setup and fish according to the location, weather, time of day, and fish behavior. An underwater camera and sonar help you look beneath the surface.
Play solo or with others, and pursue daily quests, tournaments, and rankings. Level up to access more equipment and locations, or choose sandbox mode with everything unlocked; realistic mode removes assists. Trophy displays and aquariums offer ways to showcase catches.
Reviews are sharply mixed. Some players enjoy the unhurried fishing loop, the range of fish and equipment, and features such as the underwater camera; others find the experience rough and less satisfying than the first game. Recurring complaints focus on bugs, awkward controls and menus, visuals, and fish behavior or handling that can feel unrealistic.
Choose between float, bottom, spinning, and casting methods. Use hundreds of items, customize your gear, and adapt your approach based on weather, time of day, and fish behavior. With an improved underwater camera system, functional sonar, and controller support, every moment is immersive and responsive.
Travel to diverse locations across the globe, from peaceful lakes to powerful coastal waters. Play solo or with others in multiplayer. Tackle tournaments, complete daily quests, or relax in sandbox mode where everything is unlocked from the start. For those who seek more challenge, the realistic mode strips away all assists for a truly demanding experience.
From tiny roach to massive tiger sharks, Ultimate Fishing Simulator 2 features a wide variety of fish across freshwater and saltwater locations. Each species is brought to life with natural animations, authentic behaviors, and realistic size and weight variation. Some are cautious and elusive, others are aggressive and put up a serious fight - every catch is a unique encounter.
