Kefir's free cooperative crime sandbox "Heist Run" launched on Steam in November 2026. According to SteamDB data, the game reached over 80,000 concurrent players on November 7th and topped the Steam charts, but player ratings did not rise in tandem with its popularity.
The game features a shared world that can accommodate up to 5,000 players, where players can take on roles as police officers, robbers, or citizens. The robber gameplay is similar to third-person extraction shooters, requiring infiltration into stores or banks to acquire loot, then heading to fences to cash out while avoiding arrest or death from the police. The police side is more akin to survival shooting, while the citizen side leans towards sandbox life simulation. Some players have also compared it to the online mode of "GTA6/Grand Theft Auto VI" due to its fencing mechanics and other design elements.
At the time of writing, "Heist Run" had nearly 7,000 reviews on Steam, with about 43% being negative. Criticism mainly focused on PvP balance: robbers can attack other outlaw players, leading some to camp out at fencing points to ambush others. Additionally, some generative AI assets used in the game have been questioned by players.
Supporters believe that the core loop of this free-to-play game is engaging, and balance issues are less noticeable when playing in groups. They hope the development team will replace relevant assets and continue to update during Early Access. "Heist Run" also marks Kefir's first attempt at a Steam PC game, known for mobile titles like "Last Day on Earth: Survival".
