Probably Stolen wiki: start here

Probably Stolen puts you behind the counter of a shop in the Lower Levels of a space station, where most of the stock is of doubtful origin. New players should begin with the Probably Stolen tips and tricks, then choose one of the Probably Stolen starting scenarios: the Apprentice scenario is the developer's pick for a first run. Every run has the same goal, explained in how to buy the shop in Probably Stolen: earn enough to buy the store before rising rent sinks you.

Each trade brings its own trouble. Weapons draw inspections and contraband draws raids, covered in Probably Stolen contraband. Water brings liability; the Probably Stolen water guide has the 1.0 changes and the hotfix numbers. If you are stuck with barrels you cannot sell, read Probably Stolen radioactive waste.

Every page on this Probably Stolen wiki lists its sources and the date it was last checked. Facts come from the Steam store page, the developer's news and patch notes, and player guides on the Steam Community. When something only applied to the demo, or nobody has published it yet, the page says so. Changes since launch are logged in Probably Stolen patch notes.

Probably Stolen wiki FAQ

What is Probably Stolen?

Probably Stolen is a pixel-art cyberpunk shopkeeping sim for PC by Questing Goose Studio, published by tinyBuild. You run a shop in the Lower Levels of a space station, choose what to stock, and decide how far to bend the law to pay the rent.

Is there an official Probably Stolen wiki?

No. The developer posts news and patch notes on Steam, and players write guides on the Steam Community. This Probably Stolen wiki is a fan site that lists its sources and the date each page was checked.

When did Probably Stolen come out?

The full 1.0 release launched on Steam on October 28, 2026 at 9:00 AM EDT, at US$19.99 with a 10% launch discount. The free demo was retired at launch.

How do you win in Probably Stolen?

You win by buying the store from the landlord. Rent rises until you do, and an ending with a stats screen follows.

Which starting scenario is best for beginners?

Apprentice. The developer calls it the generalist start for new players; you upgrade as you go instead of committing to one risky trade.
