Evaluation
Thief Simulator VR left Early Access and launched as a full 1.0 game on November 5, 2020, after an extended Early Access period during which the developer added substantial content including new neighborhoods, story quests, vehicles, and gameplay systems. Following the 1.0 launch, GameBoom VR continued to release patches: a feature-focused update in September 2021 (v1.3.0.6) that added performance improvements and quality-of-life changes, and another in February 2022 (v1.3.1.0) bringing further optimization, fast travel improvements, and fixes. The most recent developer communication was a bug-fix patch on December 14, 2023, addressing crashes caused by the SteamVR 2.0 update — a compatibility fix rather than new content. There are no unreleased DLC items on the store, no announced future content, and no developer roadmap pointing to upcoming additions. The February 2022 update (v1.3.1.0) appears to be the last substantive feature update the developer shipped; activity since then has been limited to a single crash fix in December 2023. The developer's focus has visibly shifted to other titles, including Cooking Simulator VR and Thief Simulator 2, which entered playtesting in late 2021. All evidence points to this game having reached its completed state, with ongoing maintenance support provided only as compatibility issues arise.

About this game
Have you ever wondered what it's like to be a real thief? Now you can see for yourself in Thief Simulator VR! 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. And… don’t get caught!
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.
Turn off the GPS trackers, disconnect all the devices from the internet and erase serial numbers. Disassemble a stolen car and sell parts on the internet. Prepare phones and tablets before selling 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.
