## About The Break-In

The Break-In is a VR heist simulator released in 2025, developed by jorgen games Ltd and Oliver Josh, supporting 1-4 player online co-op alongside non-VR players. The game centers on physics-based stealing mechanics where players can haul away TVs, appliances, furniture, and more, navigating procedurally generated heist objectives across diverse environments. A class system lets players specialize in different roles while NPC pathfinding creates unpredictable guard encounters. Reviewers highlight that the absurd physics make every heist unpredictable and that the VR multiplayer component turns coordinated break-ins into a comedy of errors, while players describe the experience as both funny and unsettling. Currently priced at $19.99 USD and marked playable on Steam Deck, the challenging medium-length experience has earned an 88 percent positive rating from over 1,600 Steam reviews.
