Crime Simulator is a first-person crime-underworld simulation that blends stealth gameplay with roguelite progression and character upgrades. The game includes both single-player and online co-op for up to four players.
Here’s some additional information:
Sneak, steal, and strike – solo or co-op
Crime Simulator is a first-person criminal underworld simulation that combines stealth gameplay with roguelite progression and character grinding. The game offers single-player and online co-op modes for up to four players.
Gameplay focuses on heist-style missions involving theft, sabotage, and infiltration. Stealth and planning are essential, and direct combat is always a last resort. The main goal is to earn money and acquire valuable goods, but missions can also involve sabotage, destroying targets, or item drops.
Progress lets players gain new skills, buy better equipment, and expand their hideout. During missions, players can use a wide selection of tools and weapons, including lockpicks, crowbars, silenced pistols, drones, and scanners.
Crime Simulator expands with new content
The game is still in active development, and the Xbox version already includes the latest update. Version 1.2 adds a new map, Rural Arizona, new dangers such as motion sensors, and cars that players can steal and drive.
CookieDev is preparing more updates. The next Jewels Update (version 1.3), will arrive in early 2026. This free update will introduce new mechanics for jewel theft and new game modes, including Thief Competition Mode and Impostor Mode.

- survive in the criminal underworld;
- perform stealth and action-based missions;
- play solo or in online co-op (up to 4 players);
