Thick as Thieves, the latest game helmed by legendary Deus Ex and Thief: Deadly Shadows studio director Warren Spector, will launch at an absolute steal of a price.
Developer OtherSide Entertainment has confirmed that the game will cost just $4.99 / £4.99 when it arrives for PC on May 20, 2026. And yes, I promise that's not a typo - in the era of $70 releases, you're getting a brand new game for just five bucks here.
Set in the alternate history Scottish city of Kilcairn, it follows a gang of thieves undertaking daring heists in elaborate, highly-guarded mansions armed with a set of conventional tools like lockpicks and smoke grenades in addition to some more unusual magical abilities. It can be solo or online in co-op with friends.
At launch, Thick as Thieves will feature two huge maps that have been designed with multiple playthroughs in mind, plus 16 missions to tackle and six pieces of gear to mess around with.
The developers estimate that everything will take roughly four hours to complete, though I imagine it will be easy to extend that runtime by going back to further explore the maps, especially as they are meant to change dynamically with each playthrough.
The team intends to expand the offering with future content too, with development informed by how players engage with this initial package.
If you're interested in learning more about the game, you can add it to your wishlist on Steam.
