How to Download Probably Stolen Safely

Probably Stolen has two separate Steam apps. The full game is app 4348910, titled "Probably Stolen - Cyberpunk Shopkeeper Sim". The free Demo is app 4349200, titled "Probably Stolen Demo".

Make sure you are on the right page. The Demo installs separately and does not unlock the full game. Check that the developer is Questing Goose Studio and the publisher is tinyBuild.

Open the Steam client or the Steam website and sign in. Go to the Demo page, or the full game page after October 28. Use the listing's install or play button.

Steam asks you to choose a library location. Confirm, let the download finish, then launch the game from your Steam library. That is the whole process; there is no separate launcher.

Steam lists these minimum requirements for both the full game and the Demo. They are listed requirements, not a guarantee of performance on every machine.

The Demo listing notes that Probably Stolen is a pixel art game with a natural 16:9 aspect ratio. It plays fine on 21:9 and 32:9 monitors, but runs in a window. The developer has improved full-screen support for non-16:9 monitors in several patches.

Update 049 lets players on non-16:9 monitors in full screen dock UI elements onto the black bars. The game now limits itself to 10 FPS while minimised, with a setting to turn that off.

Write down the exact Steam error message. Check that you have enough free storage and that your PC meets the listed requirements. Most install problems come down to one of those.

Update 049 also notes the developer worked to reduce the chance that Windows 11's Smart App Control blocks the game from launching. If the game will not start on Windows 11, make sure you have the latest version.

Steam lists the game for Windows only. We found no verified native macOS, Linux, mobile or console version. A mobile APK claiming to be Probably Stolen is not from the developer.

For handheld PCs, check Steam's own compatibility panel. We did not test the game on a handheld.

Third-party mirrors and reuploads are not official. They can be outdated, modified or unsafe. You also miss automatic updates, which matter for a game patched as often as this one.

Steam is the only official distribution route we found. The free Demo means there is no reason to look elsewhere to try the game.

The developer says the Demo will no longer be available once 1.0 is released. If you want to try it for free, download it before October 28. An installed copy may not keep working after that.

Demo saves are compatible with 1.0, but the developer recommends starting a new game. See the Demo guide.

Mods are a separate download. Community mods exist for the Demo, and official Steam Workshop support arrives with 1.0. Demo mods will likely not work in the full game.

Read the mods guide before installing anything. Back up your saves first.

On October 28, the full game's Steam page should show a purchase option instead of a wishlist button. Buy it from that page, then install it the same way as the Demo. The full game is a separate install from the Demo.

The full game's price was not shown on Steam on October 25. Check the store page on launch day for the price in your region. We do not quote a price before Steam lists one.

The developer says Demo saves are compatible with 1.0. They strongly recommend starting a new game to avoid potential bugs. A fresh start also gives you the full 1.0 rules from the first day.

If you want to keep a Demo save, back it up first. Update 049 added a Discover button on the load screen that can find manually added saves.

Steam updates the game automatically. That matters because the developer patches often; Update 049 alone listed dozens of fixes. A copy from a third-party mirror would miss those updates.

If something behaves oddly, make sure Steam has finished updating before you troubleshoot. Many problems described in older videos were fixed in later patches.

Is Probably Stolen free? The Demo is free. The full game is a paid release on Steam from October 28, 2026.

Can I download Probably Stolen on mobile? We found no official mobile version. Steam lists Windows only.

How big is the download? Steam lists 1 GB of available storage as the minimum. Keep some extra space free for updates.

Do I need the Demo to play the full game? No. They are separate apps, and the Demo will be removed when 1.0 releases.

The full game's Steam page lists English, German, Japanese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, French, Spanish (Spain) and Polish. The Demo lists English, German, Japanese, Russian and Simplified Chinese. Spanish, French and Polish arrive with the full release.
