ROB RUN is a free-to-play online crime game developed and published by Kefir. It entered Steam Early Access on November 4, 2026, and lists in-game purchases. Kefir says B-Coins buy cosmetics and do not affect balance or progression; that is the developer’s statement, not our independent purchase test.

The seven-day cycle
Kefir describes a federal raid every 7 days. Plots, bases, weapons and cash are cleared and converted into jail time and authority; cosmetics, your player name, tutorial progress, settings and accumulated sentence remain. The exact UTC wipe time for a particular server is unconfirmed here. Check the in-game timer and see the wipe guide before making plans.
Bases and decoders
According to Kefir, a decoder can be used on another player’s security system to enter their building temporarily. The owner can repair the system and lock it again. See the decoder guide for reported barter routes and limits.
Platform, languages and requirements
Steam lists Windows. Interface and subtitles are listed in English, Russian, French, German, Spanish (Spain) and Portuguese (Brazil); full voice is listed for English and Russian. Console, controller and Steam Deck support are unconfirmed here.
Kefir’s minimum specification is Windows 10 64-bit or newer, an Intel i5-6600K or Ryzen 5 1600, 12 GB RAM, GTX 1050 Ti, RX 580 or Arc A380 graphics, DirectX 11, an internet connection and 20 GB storage. Check the linked official requirements for changes.
Frequently asked questions
Is banked money safe after a wipe?
No. Kefir says laundered bank funds are protected from theft until the next wipe, not across it. See banking for the process.
What if the loading or shader screen is stuck?
Kefir’s general loading advice is to check your connection, restart the game and Steam, update graphics drivers, and use Steam’s Properties → Installed Files → Verify integrity of game files. This is general troubleshooting, not an official guaranteed shader fix. In a linked Steam discussion one player reported success resetting their graphics software’s shader cache; others reported that attempted fixes did not work. The cause and success rate remain unconfirmed.
Is there a ROB RUN roadmap?
Not a dated one in the sources checked. The developer’s Early Access notes on Steam say Kefir plans to add maps, levels, modes, characters, customization, items and progression, and to improve matchmaking, performance, network stability, interface and balance. Kefir expects Early Access to last roughly 6–12 months, depending on feedback and development. No month-by-month schedule or per-feature release date was confirmed.
Is ROB RUN coming to console?
Unconfirmed. The Steam store lists Windows only, and we found no official console announcement, target platform or date. The store page checked did not show a controller-support label, and Kefir has not published a controller statement that we could verify. Neither point rules out future support.
A practical first-session route
- Get moving: if you have no active vehicle, use a Parking Terminal for a free rental. Leave room for the return journey and remember that another player can open a trunk.
- Choose your city role: travel to Looty Bay. At the station, take an open police position for issued gear; otherwise enter as a Civilian or pursue criminal activities.
- Protect the proceeds: a Steam player guide and community sources both put the account-opening cost at 5,000 cash. Visit the bank as a Civilian and speak to its clerk; see the banking walkthrough before deciding how much to carry.
- Plan beyond the city: a base gives you somewhere to install a Laundering Desk or Cargo Workbench. Research and purchase are separate expenses, and the federal raid ends the cycle.
These community routes are based on the early-access sources linked below, not GuideWiki playtesting. Prices and availability can change with server balance.
Which guide should I open first?
Start with servers if you and a friend cannot meet: a party and a clan are different systems, and moving states may cost possessions. Start with police if you want a supplied loadout, or vehicles if carrying cargo is the immediate bottleneck. For a rival base, the decoder guide separates the security-system breach from opening a safe.
More field guides
Coordinate a party with the friends guide, check server and loading advice, or explore community-reported plots and production.
From first earnings to a base
Kefir lists several ways to make money: selling loot, hauling cargo, producing goods and police work. A settlement owner can also collect a share of tenant spending and laundering in person. These are different routes with different risks and setup needs; the developer does not promise a particular hourly return.
For a base, the developer says to find an owned settlement and pay at a vacant plot’s sign. Some higher-district plots need special documents. The land and production guide separates these official instructions from community-reported title and equipment details. Unlocks can also depend on settlement level or accumulated jail time; check the Shipments tab before planning a purchase.
