### 5/5 — What the next update should be

*2026-06-22, version 1.16.2*

You should make it so you can play online or solo so that new players can do solo so they can learn how to kill and get bullets

### 3/5 — .

*2026-05-29, version 1.16.1*

make a offline mode tired of getting killed by the top players who control the game as soon as i get a little bit of money i dont want to keep restarting.

### 5/5 — So addicting

*2026-05-04, version 1.16.1*

I love this game but sometimes hate it, I love the freedom and all the gambling and killing I can do in the game and it’s so addicting when I’m grinding and doing good, bur then I die and loose almost everything and stop playing the game for a bit. But then I play again, kind of reminds me of the love and hate I have for the game rust, my only complaint is the boring start to the game and how long some timers be but like it’s not that deep the game is still great!

### 2/5 — Has Potential

*2026-01-15*

I agree with the reviewer who said the game is controlled by only a few top players; mostly those few who have been playing the longest. They buy up all the bullets and credits at the auction house and block lower level players from really getting ahead in any way. And not being able to play on the same wifi as your friends is really stupid. The game could be really fun, but everything costs too much and it takes too long to get enough bullets or cash to really protect yourself against the lifers who have nothing better to do than make the new players miserable. Sorry, Mike, but I gotta be real!

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-01-10, version 1.15.0*

Real life mafia simulator hardcore

### 5/5 — Old skool

*2025-11-04, version 1.14.4*

Been on his game way before it was made for phones. It is very addictive and community is fun, recmmended

### 2/5 — Bad Policies

*2025-10-25*

If you and your friends or partner decide to play the game, and connect with the same WiFi connection, it will ban interaction between you and your friends. Makes the experience much less enjoyable. No shared connections. Don’t make the mistake. Tell your friends not to use your WiFi. Real Pooh policy.

### 5/5 — Obsessed

*2025-10-03, version 1.14.2*

Was introduced to this game this summer I’ve been hooked ever since! Awesome game!

### 2/5 — Controlled by toxic kids and basement dwellers

*2025-09-04*

This game was fun and addictive the first few rounds. It got very repetitive but showed great promise. I uninstalled the game today. The level of toxicity and language and bullying is of a whole other magnitude. They need to do more in game checks on toxic players and communication. It’s easy to get money and bullets so no complaint there. Other than your spontaneous bullying of other players the game is half decent. I don’t think I will ever redownload the game. Or spend any more money on it. I hope the developers and in game managers read this, but then again, most reviews that are bad go unnoticed.

### 4/5 — Fun game

*2025-08-30*

I love the game only thing I’d ask for is if we could be able to trade masks and lock picks and stuff like that for heists to give to people that don’t have it to speed the start process up

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.17.0 — 2026-08-10

* Activity Feed: You can now react to activity feed entries. It's a fun, anonymous way to share your opinion on events happening in the game.
* Tips: Dismissed tips are now saved to your account, so you won't see the same tips again when logging in on a new device.
* Property: The Statistics tab now supports viewing your Personal Record for previous gangsters within the same round (Certified Gangster exclusive).
* Crime Stats: The Family Stats option has been removed from the "General Stats" section of the Statistics tab for Small Crimes and Looting. This change supports the restructuring of how statistics are stored, paving the way to allow crime stats to be retained and viewed in future rounds, and for whole-round stats to be shown, for all crimes.
* Crime Stats: Added support for viewing whole-round stats to the "General Stats" area of each crime's Statistics tab (Certified Gangster exclusive).

### 1.16.2 — 2026-06-06

* Shooting: You can now pre-set your kill message in Settings → Dialogue before shooting, to save time when making the shot.
* Lotto: The Lotto now shows the amount of tickets you've bought for the current draws as a ratio e.g. 1 in 200, as well as the percentage.
* Profiles: The Kills tab now shows the time of a kill, and for past rounds, the round day of the kill (rather than only the real world date).
* Pawn Shop: Added "Personal Record" to Statistics tab.
* Garage: Added "Hide Locked" button to hide locked vehicles from display.
* Auction House: You can now favourite assets in the "Market Value" section of the Statistics tab. Favourites will be shown first.
* Heists: Leaders can now switch members between positions, without having to kick and invite again.
* Profiles: Added a "Make Contact" button to the Actions menu for dead gangsters. This sends them an alert with your current name, giving them the option to re-establish contact with you.
* Alerts: You can now delete alerts using the cross icon in the top right corner of each alert.
* Drug Dealing: You can now view stats for previous gangsters within the same rounds under the "Personal Record" section (Certified Gangster exclusive).
* You can now rename previous gangsters within the same round via the Actions button on the relevant gangster's profile.
* Your Garage: You can now organise your vehicles into custom groups (Certified Gangster exclusive).
* Inventory: Added search bar to quickly find items.
* Messages: Fixed issue preventing participants list from updating immediately when adding a new participant.
* Messages: Group admins can now silence participants.

### 1.16.1 — 2026-04-21

* Auction House: Replaced "Average Winning Bids" on the Statistics tab with a new "Market Value" section. This update adds support for viewing values of individual perks and vehicles, along with historical graphs showing how an asset's average winning bid has changed over different time periods.
* Contests: The participants list has been improved. Participants who are friends, family, blocked or on your Watchlist are now marked with an indicator. You can also filter the list to show only Friends & Family, or search for a name. If a participant dies, they will now remain in the list at the same position they were in when they died (albeit still disqualified and with no position displayed).
* Black Market: The Statistics tab now supports viewing your Daily Specials history. Additionally, the price is now shown for entries in your general purchase history.
* Black Market The previous update which merged Sell options into the Buy tab as "Asset Trade-In" was a mistake in hindsight. However the issue of having limited tab space in the Black Market remains. To remedy this, Sell options have moved into their own top-level screen, the Pawn Shop, which also enables further enhancements in future.

### 1.16.0 — 2026-04-15

* Detectives: Fixed an issue where the "Tracked Targets" display showed an extra column for NPCs.
* Vehicle Theft: The highlight colour for Mission vehicles has changed from green to blue.

* Heists: Added option to remove vehicle from heist.
* RPS: Fixed issue causing History section of Statistics tab to show all player's games instead of only your own.
* Settings: Added "Disable animated avatars" setting to the "Interface and Sounds" section.
* Messages: Fixed an issue causing a message to sometimes double send.
* Respect: Added function to see Personal Record for previous gangsters within the same round (Certified Gangster exclusive).
* Life Insurance: When claiming, you can now select the Vehicle Theft chance (the yellow car icon) to see a full list of your insured vehicle chances for that policy.
