Season #44 Concluded – Winners, Rewards, and Fair Play Update 🏆
Gold Mining Simulator Patch Notes — May 14, 2026
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
The dust has finally settled on the claims! Season #44 of the Leaderboards has officially come to an end. It was a fierce competition, and we are amazed by the numbers you’ve managed to pull out of the ground this time.
The Champions of Season #44
Congratulations to everyone who participated! Below you can find the list of the top prospectors who dominated the claims this season:
🎁 TOP 100 Seasonal Rewards
Work hard to secure your spot in TOP 100! This season’s winners will be awarded the exclusive Doggy Skins for both the Small and Big Dozer. Pay tribute to our favorite teammate, Dozer! 🐕🐾
A Word on Fair Play & Modding 🛡️
Since we officially allowed modding last month, we’ve seen a lot of discussions and concerns regarding the integrity of the Leaderboards. We’ve heard your voices loud and clear: "Will the Leaderboards stay fair?", "Won't people just mod their way to the top?".
We want to reassure you: the spirit of fair competition remains our top priority.
As in every season, our team has manually reviewed the results. We have removed several users from the final rankings who were found using exploits or mods to gain an unfair advantage.
We want to be very clear on this:
Modding is for fun: We love seeing your creativity on Nexus Mods, but it is intended for your private, single-player experience.
Leaderboards are for skill: Using any tools, mods, or exploits that alter the game balance during a Leaderboard run is strictly forbidden.
Zero Tolerance: We are constantly monitoring the data. Anyone attempting to cheat the system will be disqualified to ensure that the "Gold" in Gold Mining Simulator is earned through strategy and grind, not through scripts.
Thank you to the vast majority of you who play fair and keep the competition exciting. We are watching the claims, and we won't let a few bad apples spoil the fun for the rest of the community.
