Probably Stolen - Cyberpunk Shopkeeper Sim: Update 1.0.0.12 Breakdown

Overview of Update 1.0.0.12

The cumulative update for Probably Stolen - Cyberpunk Shopkeeper Sim released on November 6, 2026, introduces a broad range of quality-of-life improvements, economic rebalancing, and expanded player agency. This update follows the security-focused 1.0.0.6 patch and represents a shift toward refining core management mechanics.

Dialogue and Interaction Controls

Players now have more granular control over conversations. Conversations can be advanced by clicking dialogue bubbles or name tags, in addition to the existing spacebar input. A new accessibility setting allows players to scale dialogue bubbles, name tags, and reply choices from 50% to 150% via the options menu.

Story character interactions have also been expanded. Players now have the option to shoot most storyline characters, which immediately terminates their specific narrative arc. While most of these actions are treated as manslaughter by Security, some characters are exempt from this consequence. Additionally, story characters added in future updates will now appear on existing save files a few days after the update is applied, rather than being skipped entirely.

Economic and Gameplay Adjustments

The update introduces several changes to store management and item economics:

• Power Line Hijack: This feature now reduces the running costs of Current Converters by 15% and allows them to remain operational during blackouts.
• Disposable Batteries: These items now sell for 1 Credit plus 1 Credit per 3 kJ of charge and are classified as low-level contraband.
• Starting Perks: The Lucky and Unlucky perks have been adjusted to modify luck by 15 points, up from the previous 5 points, for new game runs.
• Character Demands: Lou's credit demands following her disguise visit now scale based on the selected difficulty: 500 Credits (Cozy), 750 (Normal), 1000 (Hard), and 1500 (Challenge).
• Bail Mechanics: Eleanor's bail cost is set at 500 Credits, though players with at least 40 Security reputation can vouch for her release for free.

A new gameplay option allows players to disable pop culture-inspired customers, specifically the Case Enjoyer and the Foodie Tourist, preventing them from visiting the store.

Limitations

The impact of these changes on existing third-party mods remains dependent on individual mod author updates. Furthermore, the long-term economic stability resulting from the Power Line Hijack and battery pricing adjustments has not been independently stress-tested.
