Crack safes and dodge security cameras — Crime Simulator has officially launched on PC via Steam as of June 17, 2025, giving players the ultimate chance to rise through the ranks of the criminal underworld. From the makers of Thief Simulator 2, Polish indie studio CookieDev returns with a new stealth-driven experience that lets you execute criminal missions solo or in online co-op with up to four players.
The game is published by Ultimate Games S.A., with console versions for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2 scheduled for release in the first half of 2026.
Welcome to the World of Crime: Stealth, Sabotage, and Strategy
Crime Simulator puts players in a first-person criminal sandbox, where success is determined not just by brute force but by precision, planning, and stealth. Whether you prefer solo infiltration or tactical team heists, every job can be approached in your own style.
Your mission? Steal valuables, break into properties, sabotage targets, and evade the law—all while building your own underground empire. Expect a rich progression system where you unlock new skills, upgrade your gear, and expand your hideout to suit your evolving criminal lifestyle.
According to the developers, the main story campaign clocks in at around 30 hours—and that’s not counting the replay value offered by co-op play and four different difficulty settings.
Heist Locations and Tools of the Trade
Crime Simulator offers players a variety of detailed urban and rural settings, including:
- 🏘️ Rural Street
- 🏞️ Lakeside Street
- 🚉 Texas Train Station – A high-risk, high-reward robbery hub
Your criminal toolkit includes everything from crowbars and lockpicks to drones, silenced pistols, scanners, and baseball bats. The gear you choose—and how you use it—can make or break your mission.
Difficulty for Every Type of Criminal
Choose from four difficulty levels, ranging from casual mode for relaxed gameplay to a high-stakes “master mode” where one wrong move could cost you everything. Fortunately, even if you fail a mission, you won’t lose your hard-earned gear or cash—Crime Simulator lets you learn and adapt on the fly.
