Evaluation
Thief Simulator 2 launched on October 4, 2023 and has received a steady stream of post-launch content. Three major updates shipped in the first year: the Halloween Update (1.1, October 23, 2023) with a new haunted mansion heist, the 1.2 Update (November 23, 2023) with a futuristic museum heist and expanded skill system, and the 1.27 Update (June 18, 2024) adding an abandoned drug farm heist and new jobs. The developer also delivered several feature patches adding systems like survival mode and a cloaking device.
One piece of content remains unfinished: a Cruise Ship DLC is listed on the store with no release date and has not shipped. This represents an announced, unreleased content commitment from the developer.
It's also worth noting that developer focus has been shifting toward the next game in the series. In December 2025, Thief Simulator 3 was officially announced with a co-op mode, and in May 2026, a public playtest was opened for it. This suggests CookieDev's primary development attention has moved on — but the Cruise Ship DLC listing on the Thief Simulator 2 store page confirms there is still undelivered content promised for this game.
Evidence

About this game
Thief Simulator 2 will transport you to a world full of valuables, expensive cars, and rustling banknotes. As long as you find a way to steal them.
Know that a thief’s trade is not a piece of cake. In order to get some practice, you’ll start with petty theft. This is how you’ll gain the experience required to access more and more risky – and most importantly, more profitable – jobs.
Gain levels and unlock new possibilities. Get useful tools. Together with newly acquired skills, they will pave the way to expensive items, which you can then sell on the black market. The tools of your trade include a crowbar and binoculars, as well as advanced equipment that becomes available as you progress, such as a laptop for hacking through security systems.
The creators of Thief Simulator 2 have prepared two unique locations with houses, banks, restaurants, and other special places that you’ll get to strip of money, valuables, and other items. But before you do, examine the surroundings: find out when the building empties out, learn the tenants’ or the employees’ schedule. Then you just need to prepare a strategy and it’s gone time.
Just be quick and efficient. You don’t have much time, so you’ll need to immediately assess which item to take and which one to leave. Can you handle the pressure, or will you panic?
Make sure to work on cars between robbing buildings. Start with small family sedans and make gradual steps towards mastery, which will allow you to steal the coolest sports cars.
Remember to keep your eyes around your head. Even the best plan can fall apart, and the local police are just waiting for a chance to put you in handcuffs. Don’t get caught. Always be one step ahead of law enforcement.
