The official channel
Probably Stolen is developed by Questing Goose Studio in Montreal and published by tinyBuild. The official release is the Steam version, app 4348910, released 28 October 2026 at $19.99 / €19.99 / £16.99, with a 10 percent launch discount running to 11 November. The store page is authoritative for price, platform and current state.
The listing links the developer’s community channels, which is how you check whether an announcement is real. If a page claiming to be official cannot be reached from that listing, it is not official.
System requirements are modest and Windows-only: Windows 10 64-bit, an Intel Core i3 or equivalent, 8 GB of RAM, a GTX 650 Ti or equivalent, DirectX 10 and 1 GB of storage. The game ships in eight languages — English, German, Japanese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, French, Spanish (Spain) and Polish — with interface and subtitle support only, and no voiced dialogue in any of them.
No Traditional Chinese, no controller
There is no Traditional Chinese version. The store lists Simplified Chinese, and zh-TW and zh-HK players get the English build. The Traditional Chinese on this site is an unofficial localisation made by the editorial team, not a game language, and the footer says so.
There is no controller support flag, and Steam Deck status is Playable rather than Verified. Deck play needs a community layout or the touchscreen, and mouse-driven inspection panels are the awkward part. Any guide promising Verified status or gamepad support is describing a build that does not exist.
The current build is 1.0.0.2, which shipped a launch-day hotfix. The visible changes were price cuts rather than features: the Water Filter went from 50 to 25 credits and the Moisture Farm from 650 to 350, both “as per community feedback”. That is the kind of detail that tells you whether a page was written from the build or from the demo.
The demo is gone
A demo ran through Steam Next Fest and was retired when the game launched. The 27 October Steam post said it would come down with 1.0 the following day, and the current store page offers the full game rather than a demo download. If you find a “Probably Stolen demo” download on a third-party site now, it is either an old build or something else.
This matters for guides as well as players. Much of the writing about this game was produced during the demo, when the available content, the start roster and the balance were different. The demo-era build did not have the buyout ending, vending machines, the full storyline or the achievement set. A demo-era guide is not wrong, it is dated.
The demo’s scale is documented: more than 660,000 unique players, a peak of nearly 40,000 concurrent players during Steam Next Fest, and more than 500,000 wishlists before launch. Those are tinyBuild’s figures as of 28 October 2026, and they describe the demo, not the released game.
Numbers, with dates attached
The figures most often quoted come from one document: the tinyBuild launch press release of 28 October 2026. It reports over 500,000 wishlists, a Next Fest peak of nearly 40,000 concurrent players, over 660,000 unique demo players, and Overwhelmingly Positive reviews at 98 percent for the demo.
The released game has a separate figure. The developer reported 200,000 copies sold and more than 86,000 concurrent players on day one, which is a dated claim from the studio, not a live counter. When this page was last checked, on 29 October 2026, Steam showed Overwhelmingly Positive at 96 percent of 1,688 reviews. That number moves.
Metacritic has no aggregate score for the game — only two critic reviews, at 70 and 65. Any site quoting a Metascore is inventing one, and any site quoting a “current” review percentage without a date is quoting an old page.
The browser remake is a fan project
The browser-playable fan remake at probably-stolen.online is an unofficial project with its own original code and art. It is not published by Questing Goose Studio or tinyBuild, it is not a port, and it does not contain the official game. This site links to it because it is a useful way to feel the loop in a tab, and we label it every time.
If you want the real thing — the nine playable starts, the faction thresholds, the Aug policy, the endings — the Steam release is the only place to get it. A fan remake is an interpretation. It can teach you the shape of the decisions; it cannot tell you what the official build does in week six.
The same rule applies to this site. Lower Levels Ledger is unofficial, not affiliated with Questing Goose Studio or tinyBuild, does not host files and does not sell anything. Every factual page names its source and the date it was checked.
