What is Probably Stolen?
Steam describes it as a cyberpunk shopkeeping simulator in which you craft, trade and smuggle goods of questionable origin, navigate faction loyalties and try to earn enough to buy out your shop before rising rent forces your hand. You play a former scavenger who got a storefront thanks to a generous loan. Version 1.0 was released on Steam on 28 October 2026 after a public playtest and a demo (see release date and price).
Steam lists the genres as Indie, RPG, Simulation and Strategy. The most prominent user tags on the page are Shop Keeper, Simulation, Trading, Cyberpunk, Management, Crafting, Inventory Management, Job Simulator, Economy, Choices Matter and Story Rich, followed by Resource Management, Sci-fi, RPG, Pixel Graphics, Singleplayer, Dystopian, Crime, Capitalism and Multiple Endings.
What is the core loop?
Each day you open the shutter, call customers, and buy or sell items on the Negotiation Counter, using the Bargain Interface to push prices (see haggling). Before opening you stock the Display Case to attract buyers. At night you toggle services, run overnight machines and sleep, which autosaves; rent comes due every 7 days. The goal is the buyout of the store, the game’s only winning ending, and the other 13 endings are ways to lose (see Endings and Beginner guide).

What do Steam reviewers say?
The only verdict we can state without quoting individuals is the official Steam summary: Overwhelmingly Positive, 96% of 3,287 English reviews on 6 November 2026. The developer’s own launch-week announcement reported 96% positive from nearly 3,000 reviews and more than 500,000 copies sold on 30 October 2026. These are the developer’s numbers as posted, and we did not re-verify the sales figure. Our Steam snapshot showed no Metacritic score and no recent-review breakdown.
How much does it cost and what do I need?
The US price is $17.99 (the $19.99 regular price with a 10% launch discount at the time we checked). The game is on Steam for Windows only, in eight languages, and Steam lists Single-player, Steam Achievements, Steam Cloud, Family Sharing, adjustable text size, custom volume controls and mouse-only play. The Steam Workshop and a modding API are part of the 1.0 launch. See Platforms and Mods.
How long is the game?
There is no fixed length. The only winning ending is buying the store, and you can keep playing afterwards; the store price rises after day 50 and there is no ending tied to a day count (see the money guide). When you start a game you can switch on Endless Mode, which stops certain scripted events and customers from appearing. We have no verified playtime figure.
Is it worth it?
That depends on what you like, and a wiki cannot decide it for you. The checkable facts are the price above, the depth of content listed in the table and the Steam reception. For the demo that came before the full release, see Demo vs full version. To compare with other games, see games like Probably Stolen.
