ROB RUN is in free-to-play early access on Steam, where it peaked at about 200,000 concurrent players after its November 5 launch. A new FAQ says requests for servers in Asia and Oceania are still being considered, with any expansion coming after the end of the year, and that base fences were never designed to be impenetrable.
ROB RUN opened in free-to-play early access on Steam on November 5. Within days the PvP crime sandbox from developer and publisher Kefir drew 140,440 concurrent players by the early morning of November 8, according to the unofficial database SteamDB. By November 11 the peak had climbed to about 200,000, and Steam user reviews had passed 18,000 at a Mixed score.
The scale comes from the format: thousands of players split into robbers and police in one city, building bases, committing crimes for money and items, raiding other players, or working as police. Basic play is free with in-app purchases. The Steam build launched without Japanese language support.
The Mixed review score points to solo and beginner balance and server problems. Kefir has said it plans to address those during a 6 to 12 month early access period. The November 13 FAQ speaks to two of the friction points directly. Requests for servers in Asia and Oceania are known, but the developers are still considering whether expansion is technically feasible, and any expansion would come after the end of the year. On base defenses, the FAQ says base fences were never designed to be impenetrable and that defense systems are being reconsidered.
So the player count is settled and large, while the two issues players raise most, regional server access and base defenses that cars can clear, are acknowledged but neither is scheduled. Server work is pushed past the end of the year.
