How co-op works

Four-player online burglary with VR and non-VR cross-play. Players choose Infiltrator, Strongman, or Mastermind roles, scout randomized buildings and occupants, breach through different entry points, extract bulky valuables into a getaway vehicle, and buy equipment for riskier jobs.

About this game

The Break-In is a chaotic heist simulation built for 1-4 players working together to loot entire houses, piece by piece. True co-op play lets you and your crew grab anything that isn't bolted down, from TVs and fridges to toilets and furniture, then haul it all into your getaway vehicle. The premise leans into absurdity, supporting both VR and flatscreen players in the same session.

Players scavenge rooms, smash walls with hammers, equip gadgets like rocket boosters, and coordinate the quickest escape routes. The fun comes from split-second teamwork and silly decisions, like choosing a bicycle as your getaway ride or overloading a stolen police van. Communication keeps the chaos productive as the clock runs down.

Online co-op for up to four supports mixed VR and non-VR setups, so friends with different hardware can still join the heist. Sessions reward coordination under pressure, turning each house into a frantic race against time and sanity.
