ABOUT THIEF VR: LEGACY OF SHADOW

The City is a place of shadows, ruled by the tyrant Baron Ulysses Northcrest. You are Magpie, a cunning thief shaped by the streets, who steals as the only means to survive until uncovering something greater: a legendary artifact holding a legacy from the past.
 

Experience the world of Thief for the first time in VR, blending classic stealth gameplay with next-gen immersion. Use your body to sneak past guards and your hands to pickpocket, pry open hidden compartments, and bypass locks through tactile interactions. Wield an array of arrows and tools to distract, disable, or eliminate threats with immersive VR archery as you climb rooftops, sneak through back alleys, and uncover secrets in a dark, steampunk-inspired world. Every heist offers multiple paths and playstyles, whether you sneak past guards unseen or take them down from the shadows.
 

Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow is available now on PlayStation VR2, Meta Quest, and Steam VR.
