Evaluation
Thief Simulator launched on November 9, 2018 and has received a steady stream of post-launch content over the years. Two paid DLC packs were released: Luxury Houses DLC on April 6, 2023, and the Shopping Center DLC on December 10, 2024 — the latter accompanied by a free Patch 1.8 adding train heists and new tools. Both DLC are now fully released, and no further DLC or updates for the base game have been announced.
The developer's attention has since moved to the next game in the series. On December 2, 2025, Noble Muffins announced Thief Simulator 3 (a separate title), and on April 30, 2026, they opened a playtest for it. These posts confirm the studio is alive and active, but the communications are about a new game — not additional content for Thief Simulator 1.
A July 2022 roadmap had mentioned plans for two additional DLC beyond Luxury Houses. The Shopping Center DLC, released in December 2024, appears to be the second of those planned DLC packs. No third or fourth DLC has been announced or listed on the store, and the developer's focus has clearly shifted to Thief Simulator 3. The last update specifically for this game was December 10, 2024, and there have been no signals of further content since that point.

About this game
Thief Simulator
Become the real thief. Steal in free roam sandbox neighborhoods. Observe your target and gather information that will help you with the burglary. Take the challenge and rob the best secured houses. Buy some hi-tech burglar equipment and learn new thief tricks. Sell stolen goods to the passers. Do anything that a real thief does!
A good thief always observes his target. What's inside? Who lives there? What's your target day schedule? Find out when the house is empty and does it have nosy neighbours. Choose from lots of possible approaches to prepare the best plan. Many modern devices available in Thief Simulator might come in handy with gathering intel about your target and it's neighbourhood.
The faster, the better. Find and steal as many valuables as possible in the shortest time possible. Remember that infinite backpacks don't exist. When it's about time you have to maintain cold blood. In every house you'll find tons of useless stuff, which can really slow you down. If you're not sure that you can take some serious money for it, maybe a good idea would be to leave it behind and save space for some expensive goods. If you fill your backpack with worthless items, you may have to waste your time to throw stuff out just to make space for other things. Be careful, cause some things can draw police attention to you!
A real, experienced thief can spot places where there's most probability of finding some valuables on the fly. Use the flashlight at night to highlight all the valuables in sight and places where you can expect them to be.
Disassemble a stolen car and sell parts on the internet. Prepare phones and tablets before selling them in a pawn shop by removing their security.
Look around for any useful items. They will save you some time on lockpicking or hacking. Key near a window or purchase receipts in trash bins. All those things can make life of an aspiring thief so much easier and reduce your burglary time even by a half. Of course, many of them are just useless trash... Or maybe they aren't?
Be careful! In some houses, you can meet unexpected guests. If they catch you in the act, they will call the police. In this case, hide and wait till they stop looking for you or you can always leave the loot and run away as fast as possible.
