Synthesized from 5 Yomimono stories · updated 1d ago

PlayWay's recent slate runs on PC via Steam. Four of the five titles in this run are announced or released between May and September 2026, and all five carry Japanese language support or are described as Steam releases. The publisher is not tied to one genre: prison break co-op, thief co-op, zombie kebab management, dungeon-crawling shopkeeping, and 1990s Polish car repair sit side by side.

The two most recent announcements lean on co-op. Get Us Out, announced September 18 and developed by India-based AM Playhouse, puts up to four players in a prison escape with keys, lasers, security systems, and capturable companions. Thief Simulator 3: First Loot, announced September 8, is a free prologue developed by Noble Muffins for PC via Steam, covering the first mission and adding up to 4-player co-op that the series has not carried before. The prologue confirms the co-op support listed among improvements when the May demo was pulled, and brings Noble Muffins back to the series after CookieDev handled the second game.

The released titles show what sticks. Fell & Sell, developed by Art Games Studio S.A., launched on Steam on August 27 and peaked at 2,578 concurrent players, with Steam reviews at 78 percent positive out of 196, a Mixed status. Cheap Car Repair, developed by Little Dog Games and released May 28, holds a Very Positive rating with 91 percent of 202 user reviews positive, concurrent players peaked at over 5,200, and about half the reviews are from Polish users. Zombie Wrap Simulator: Grill the Dead, from Digital Melody, is planned for PC via Steam in 2027.

Cheap Car Repair Launches on Steam, Draws Praise for 1990s Polish Setting

Simplicity Games and PlayWay S.A. released the comedic car repair simulation game 'Cheap Car Repair' on PC via Steam on May 28, 2026. Developed by Polish studio Little Dog Games, the title is set in the Polish countryside of the 1990s.

Since launch, the game has received a 'Very Positive' rating on Steam, with 91% of 202 user reviews positive at the time of reporting. Concurrent player numbers peaked at over 5,200. About half of the reviews are from Polish users, many of whom praised the game for evoking nostalgia for their homeland.
