Once everyone’s ready, you’ll all enter the hideout together.This new flow fixes the black screen issue that could occur with large inventories and high ping, and it also makes it much easier to find people to play with.Please note that the beta uses separate beta save |

| 1.31 - Achievement fix, PvP scoring improvements and more | 2026-01-10 | Hi everyone, another bug fix patch coming in.We did some investigating about the black screen issue some people have, especially when their ping is high (over 100). It turns out it's related to the amount of items the host has in his hideout - each item has physics, and if there's too many of these items and the connection isn't great, clients may not sync properly and the black screen happens.The fix - for now - would be to limit items in the hideout to 100, but only for people with bad connections and only in online play. This limit doesn't exist in single-player or if your ping is below 100. I'm searching for a better solution, but to be h |

| 1.3 Devlog - Hideout Expansion, New Locations & Xbox Out Now! | 2025-12-01 | Hi Everyone!I’m still working on version 1.3. If things go as planned, we’ll have a beta release in about two weeks, followed by a full release if everything looks good.One thing I had to remove was impostor mode, since it sort of worked against the co-op. This game is more about teaming up than playing against each other. But the theft competition is still there, because it feels more like friendly fun than trying to trip up your teammates.Curious about what’s fresh this time? There’s plenty to get excited about.Crime Simulator is out now on XboxCrime Simulator is now out on Xbox Series X|S, launching with the latest version - Update 1.2, an |
| Steam Awards: Crime Simulator Is Better With Friends (Probably) | 2025-11-25 | So the Steam Awards are here… and I honestly had no idea what to choose. On one hand, it’s that game that makes you clench your teeth because you know you can beat this job, but somehow everything still goes sideways. On the other hand, it’s the game where you and your friends jump into co-op and pull off such ridiculous heists that nobody can talk for a minute because you’re laughing too hard.So here’s the deal: vote for whatever category feels right in your gut. If “Best Game You Suck At” calls your name because that one mission just won’t let you win, I’m all for it. If you see it fitting somewhere else, every single nomination means the w |
| 1.3 Devlog - Jewels and PvP & Xbox Release Date! | 2025-11-05 | Hey everyone! I’m still hard at work on the game - Update 1.3 is on the way with Jewels and a little bonus feature. Jewels You’ll be able to find and swipe a bunch of new jewelry, but it won’t always be straightforward. Some pieces can be fake - and if you sell them as-is, you’ll take a credit penalty. Before selling, make sure to check if they’re legit using the new jewelry table. You can also smelt three pieces of jewelry (as long as they’re the same material) into gold or silver bars, which sell for a higher price.PvP CompetitionsNow this part is pretty fun. You’ll be able to start friendly competitions with your friends. For now, there ar |
