About this game
Crime sandbox · MMOROB RUN puts crime in a shared online sandbox with 5,000 players per server, and every cop and criminal is a real person. You leave prison with no cash, crash at Lenny's motel, and work your way up through robberies, businesses, clans and territory control. Each server ends with a wipe on a one-week cycle, and everyone starts over with the experience and contacts they built.
- 01
5,000 players per server
The store page states 5,000 players around you. Cops and criminals are both players, and the police are a real threat rather than PvE enemies.
- 02
A weekly wipe
The developer frames a run as one week: go from street thug to the head of the server's largest organisation, then start over with the experience and allies you gained.
- 03
The power pyramid
Five tiers: Hobo, Settlement Resident, Settlement Owner, District Owner and Shadow Governor. Higher tiers take a cut of more taxes and get better laundering terms.
- 04
Bases and businesses
Build and upgrade a base, store loot and vehicles, and place workbenches and safes. Official posts name farms, labs, contraband, smuggling and cargo cracking as base businesses.
- 05
Laundering and the Black Market
Robbery cash goes through a laundering desk. Settlement owners collect tax on residents' laundered money and Black Market purchases, and the tiers above take their own cut.
- 06
Scheduled fresh servers
The game currently runs EU and East US regions. The developer plans at least one fresh server per region per day: EU at 17:00 UTC and East US at 20:00 ET.

General
1 guideFAQ
When did ROB RUN launch, and how much is it?
It entered Early Access on Steam on 4 November 2026. It is free to play and Windows only.
Does it support Chinese?
No. The Steam build supports English and Russian with full audio, plus French, German, Spanish and Portuguese interfaces. The Chinese guides on this site are translations, not official localisation.
How many players are on a server?
The store page states 5,000 players per server, with both cops and criminals played by real people.
How often does the server wipe?
The developer frames a run as one week, after which everyone starts over. The launch notes do not give a fixed wipe clock, so treat the in-game timer and official announcements as the source.
What do you keep after a wipe?
The developer has not published a full list. Whether level, cash, bases, clans and cosmetics carry over needs to be checked in game, and this site does not fill that gap with guesses.
Are the police NPCs or players?
Players. The developer stresses that every cop and criminal is a real person. Cop respawn time grows with each consecutive death, fresh servers start cops on pistols, and better gear unlocks as the server ages.
