Crime Simulator supports online co-op for up to 4 players. You can invite friends directly from your platform's friends list or share a lobby code. Missions scale based on crew size, so whether you're running solo or with three others, the difficulty adjusts accordingly. Voice and text chat are built directly into the game, so no third-party app is needed. Online co-op is entirely optional — the full game is available solo as well.
Yes, Crime Simulator is fully playable solo and can be played offline. The entire game — all three maps, the skill system, the progression loop — is available without ever touching co-op. Going solo does mean you're handling everything yourself, which makes stealth all the more important since you won't have a teammate watching your back.
Yes, Crime Simulator is Steam Deck Verified, meaning it runs well on Valve's handheld out of the box with no manual tweaking required.
