Probably Stolen Surges on Steam With 174,382 Players at Its Peak
Probably Stolen drew a peak of 174,382 concurrent Steam players on Nov.
4, after its release on Oct.
28.
The game is the debut from indie studio Questing Goose and has become popular with little pre-launch attention.
Players run a market stall on a dystopian space station, aiming to make money while dealing in goods that may fall into legal gray areas.
Its mix of business decisions, inspections and inventory management has been compared with Cyberpunk 2077 and Papers, Please.
The business can grow into several ventures, from gunsmithing and farming to selling water or illicit goods, each with its own risks.
Steam reviews are currently rated “overwhelmingly positive,” and players have shared stories of schemes going wrong as well as succeeding.
Some players say the gameplay changes little late in the game, though they say it takes dozens of hours to reach that point.
