This Free Steam Game Will Scratch Your GTA 6 Itch

If you’re tired of fiending for your Grand Theft Auto 6 fix, Steam has the perfect game to tide you over. It’s still a long wait until GTA 6 releases, as its second delay has given it a November launch window, with rumors of a third delay still circulating. And that’s only its console release date; if you play on PC, you could be waiting even longer.

So, if you’re looking for a game that’ll let you commit chaotic crimes in a reactive virtual space, look no further than One-armed Robber, a free-to-play heist game that’s now available on Steam. It may be more Payday than GTA, but it’s a lot of fun, and could scratch a similar itch.

GTA 6 Fans Craving Virtual Crime, Look No Further

One-armed Robber Offers Co-Op Heists

If you’re looking to relive the thrill of a GTA heist while you wait for the next entry, One-armed Robber might be the perfect starting point. It’s exactly what it sounds like: you play as a criminal without the use of your left appendage. Armed with only a righty, you complete a series of heists, taking banks, jewelry stores, and more for everything they’re worth.

Again, it’s probably more comparable to Payday, especially when it comes to the thieves’ outlandish outfits and the chaotic co-op. It’s worth checking out for co-op alone; the heists are a lot of fun when taken on with friends, dividing up responsibilities and grabbing as much as your two collective arms can carry.

Each heist can be taken on with either a stealthy or a brazen approach; you can replay them multiple times to develop the best strategies. Over time, you can customize and upgrade your gear to support different playstyles and learn different abilities.

It’s not a perfect substitute for GTA; One-armed Robber isn’t an open-world game, vehicle customization and exploration are basically nonexistent, and it can be a bit buggy. But the thousands of Very Positive Steam reviews don’t lie; the fun factor is undeniable.

One-Armed Robber Is Wild, And Completely Free

More Than Worth The Price

If you’re looking for something to play while you wait for GTA 6, or even if you’re just snowed in this weekend and want to kill a few hours, you could do a lot worse than One-armed Robber. It’s good old-fashioned chaotic friendslop fun, guaranteed to be a good time even if you don’t sink hundreds of hours into it.

So pick it up, force your friends to download it, too, and you’re in for a little treat. It’s no GTA 6, but it might scratch the same itch, and since it’s free on Steam, you have nothing to lose but the time you put into it.
