Hey all,
Hope everyone has been enjoying Thief Town! We’ve received so many nice comments, tweets and reviews since the game’s release, which couldn’t make us happier.
We’ve got some news to share with you! When we launched Thief Town late last year, we wanted to provide the PC gaming community with an affordable couch multiplayer game – something you could throw on during a party alongside your other favorite multiplayer games. That's exactly what Thief Town was in the beginning: a smaller, bite-sized package.
Since release, we've added some major content to the game: the "SPOOKY TOWN" update brought new maps and items to Thief Town, and we updated the companion mobile app to make playing without controllers even easier. We did all this free of charge, just to say THANK YOU to everyone who supported us.
Now for the big news...Thief Town is headed to the PlayStation 4 on September 29th! Why would this affect you on Steam? Well, the version of Thief Town we’re releasing on PS4 is very similar to the current game on PC with all the updates and new features, which means it has DOUBLED in size since the original $3.99 release on PC. To reflect this change, we’re going to be raising the price of the game on Steam to match the price of the game on console.
Starting on September 29th, the price of Thief Town will raise to $7.99 and the 4-pack will raise to $19.99. To compensate, we’re having a one-week sale and taking 50% off the current price of Thief Town from now until 9/14. We wanted to give everyone a fair warning AND a good deal before we make this change.
This is not a decision we make lightly, but as we expand to other places where people play games, we need to offer the current version of Thief Town at a global price point. Keep in mind, the PC version of Thief Town is the only version with LAN play, multiple controller support, AND Thief Town Companion App support!
Thank you all for being so understanding as Thief Town continues to expand and grow. If you know anyone else who’d love the game, take advantage of our big sale and get to stabbin’!
