Launch-day Thick As Thieves guides: release facts, $4.99 scope, solo versus co-op setup, SPIDER versus CHAMELEON basics, gear planning, PC readiness, and roadmap questions without recycled PvPvE-era summaries.
Launch date
May 20, 2026
Steam currently positions this as a focused introductory campaign launch
Play modes
Solo or online co-op with one partner
The current message is solo or one online co-op partner, not PvPvE
Campaign scope
2 maps, 16 contracts, 6 gear pieces
Players need campaign size, mission replay, and gear clarity on launch day
Verification focus
Co-op flow, mission routing, exact gear behavior, controller feel, and Steam Deck playability still need live testing after the PC build unlocks.
Best first click
Open release facts first, then solo or co-op setup if you are deciding how to approach the launch campaign.

Official
Thick As Thieves launches on May 20, 2026 as a PC-first stealth-action heist game from OtherSide Entertainment. Current official messaging presents it as a low-price introductory campaign that can be played solo or with one online co-op partner, with 2 dynamic replayable maps, 3 mission types, 16 contracts, and 6 pieces of gear rather than an endless live-service launch.
This hub exists to fix the exact kinds of problems that show up around launch: outdated PvPvE summaries, low-price scope confusion, fake console date claims, invented roadmap promises, and made-up gear pages. The useful work right now is to separate what Steam, Epic, the official FAQ, and the developer walkthrough already confirm from what still needs real launch-day testing.
