Probably Stolen is a cyberpunk shopkeeping sim from Questing Goose Studio, published by tinyBuild, launching on Steam on October 28, 2026, with a free demo available now. This hub collects the key facts, the official links and every Probably Stolen page we publish; the launch time, price and platform details are on the Probably Stolen release date page.

What is Probably Stolen?

Probably Stolen, full name Probably Stolen - Cyberpunk Shopkeeper Sim, puts you behind the counter of a pawnshop on a towering space station split by wealth and corruption. You are a former scavenger who got the store thanks to a generous loan; now the rent keeps rising, the factions are watching, and the best margins sit in legal grey zones. You buy, appraise, craft, trade and smuggle goods of questionable origin, decide whether to approve, refuse or report each deal, and try to earn enough to buy out the shop before the rent catches up with you. It is a single-player game, tagged on Steam as Indie, RPG, Simulation and Strategy.

Every product line has its own profits and its own way of ruining you, as the Steam page puts it: weapons bring inspections, chemicals bring addiction, water brings liability and contraband brings raids. Cigarette packs need a visual check before resale, water has to be tested and filtered, and weapons need permits. The demo ships in-game manuals for several of these trades: the Water Trading Manual, Chemistry 101, the Hydroponic Farming Manual, the Metallurgy Manual, and appraisal guides for the Ribwich, Plasma Cartridges and cybernetic hands. Our guides start with the problems demo players ask about most.

You choose a starting scenario at the beginning of each run. The Steam page names gunsmith, chemist, water merchant, fence and farmer starts, plus starting from absolute rock bottom. The demo's files describe 13 scenarios: Apprentice, Water Merchant, Junker, Fence, Moonshiner, Chemist, Organ Dealer, Pharmacist, Street Food Vendor, Hydroponic Farmer, Gunsmith, Rock Bottom and Rat Wrangler. The demo opens four of them: Apprentice, Water Merchant and Rat Wrangler, plus Rock Bottom, which the developers describe as the hard-mode start. On the start screen the game labels Apprentice "Recommended For New Players" and Rock Bottom "Extreme Challenge Mode". Which scenarios the full game ships with will show at launch.

The free demo has been on Steam since September 14, 2026 and replaced the open Playtest that ran from August; Playtest saves carried over to the demo. The developers have announced a demo update for October 19. Whether demo progress carries over to the full game has not been confirmed since the demo came out, and the demo section of our release date page tracks exactly what the developers have said.

Augs are the threat behind the counter: the Steam page describes a sentient AI chip that went rogue and took its hosts with it, and Augs look like everyone else until they don't. One of the endings in the demo's files is an Aug takeover of the station. Before its August 2026 reveal the game was called Deepspace Emporium, as the developer announced in the official Discord. There is no official mobile version: Steam lists Windows only.

The only official Probably Stolen download is on Steam, through the full game's store page and the separate free demo listing. The developers post news in their Steam announcements and on the official Probably Stolen Discord, which the Probably Stolen Steam page links as discord.gg/probablystolen; the same page links the r/ProbablyStolen subreddit and the game's X account. The developers have not launched an official Probably Stolen wiki as of October 18, 2026, so the guides below are our own, each with its sources listed.
