Thief Simulator 3 announced with co-op

PSLifeStyle included Thief Simulator 3 in a recent X post rounding up game-release news, describing the project as a PC title coming to Steam with two-player co-op heists. Steam’s live store page confirms the game is listed as Thief Simulator 3, developed by Noble Muffins and published by PlayWay S.A., with a “To be announced” release date. (store.steampowered.com) Steam’s description frames the pitch in direct terms: players can go solo or “team up in CO-OP as a duo of thieves” to plan jobs and adapt when plans fail. (store.steampowered.com) PlayWay’s own game page lists the release as 2026 and identifies the genre as simulator and co-op. ### Where did the co-op detail come from? Steam’s official store page is the clearest source for the feature list. The page says Thief Simulator 3 lets players “play solo or team up in CO-OP as a duo of thieves,” making two-player cooperative play part of the core premise rather than a side mode. (store.steampowered.com) A Steam announcement tied to the series also said the sequel is “bringing the long awaited CO-OP mode” and told players they could “team up with a friend to plan perfect hits, pull off daring thefts, and make masterful escapes.” That language matches the social-media summary that highlighted co-op heists. (store.steampowered.com) ### Is PC on Steam the only announced platform right now? Steam is the only platform named in the materials reviewed for this story. The store page is live on Valve’s storefront, and PlayWay’s listing points readers to Steam without naming PlayStation, Xbox or Switch versions. (store.steampowered.com) PSLifeStyle’s post also described the announcement as a PC-via-Steam release. No official page surfaced in this reporting that announced console versions alongside the Steam listing. ### Who is making Thief Simulator 3? (store.steampowered.com) Steam lists Noble Muffins as the developer and PlayWay S.A. as the publisher for Thief Simulator 3. That credits Noble Muffins on the new entry’s main store page. PlayWay’s game page repeats those credits and places the game in its 2026 lineup. SteamDB, which tracks Steam app records, also reflects the same app and description tied to the Steam listing. (store.steampowered.com) ### What else is known about the game so far? Steam’s current description says the game follows a rise “from pickpocket to crime boss,” suggesting progression from small thefts to larger jobs. (store.steampowered.com) The wording also stresses planning and improvisation, which fits the series’ burglary-and-escape structure. A Steam Community page for the app uses similar language and describes the game as a return for the series with a two-person crew. (store.steampowered.com) Separate community material reviewed by web search also points to bigger maps and broader sandbox play, though the store page remains the most authoritative public summary. (steamdb.info) ### What can players do next? Steam has already opened wishlisting for Thief Simulator 3, and the store page remains the main public source for updates. The release field on Steam still reads “To be announced,” while PlayWay’s site lists a 2026 window for the game. (store.steampowered.com) The next concrete milestone is likely to appear on the Steam store page or in a Steam news post from PlayWay or Noble Muffins, which is where the co-op announcement language is already posted.
