Since its launch on Epic Games in March 2023, Crime Boss: Rockay City has seen significant transformations through numerous updates and patches over the past two years. This blog takes you through every major change, from gameplay improvements and exciting new content to essential bug fixes and balance adjustments. For anyone curious about the effort that’s gone into shaping Crime Boss into the game it is today, we’ve gathered all the key updates that have defined its evolution.



[h2]Version 1.0 [/h2]
Mar 28, 2023 – PC Launch (Epic Games Store)
Crime Boss: Rockay City launched as a first-person co-op heist shooter, featuring a star-studded cast, a turf-war campaign, and multiplayer “Crime Time” mode.

[h3]Apr 3, 2023 – First Patch[/h3]
This patch addressed loading issues, laggy EULA screens, and a bug causing a SWAT spawn issue. A previously unlisted bug involving a certain celebrity character appearing without clothing was also fixed.

[h3]Apr 17, 2023 – Performance & UI Fixes Patch[/h3]
This update resolved FPS spikes in “Dragon Dogs,” refined lobby filters, and introduced new features: high-ping warnings, an in-game ping display, quick links to Discord/website, and session naming for lobbies.

[h3]May 9, 2023 – Major Performance & Balance Patch[/h3]
This update introduced IOSTORE technology for faster loading, requiring a full re-download. Game balance was improved with mission tweaks, new boss arenas, and adjusted progression for earlier access to weapons, black-market items, and crew hiring. Several bugs were fixed, including an invincibility glitch and FPS drops in lobbies.



[h3]June 15, 2023 – PS5 & Xbox Series X/S Release (Day-1 Patch)[/h3]

Crime Boss: Rockay City launched on consoles with a day-one patch focused on improving stability and online play. The update fixed crashes, resolved Xbox online session issues, and addressed PS5-specific problems with the Activities feature and party member name displays. Following this update, overall game stability was improved on both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.



[h3]Aug 25, 2023 – Update 2[/h3]

The update brought several key improvements. A new Respect stat in Crime Time allows players to gain Respect, which affects mission availability, enemy heat, rewards, and crew ranks. High Respect unlocks large heists like the Money Train, without relying on single-player progression.

Players can now pick up enemy weapons (with reduced damage). Controller aim assist was improved with a slower reticle near targets, slight tracking, and bullet magnetism. The difficulty of Baker’s Battle was reduced, and loot bag counts now scale with difficulty and player count.

Other Changes:

Crew progression: Teammates level up and unlock perks.
Non-lethal stealth takedowns: First hit knocks out enemies; second hit is lethal.
New mission Garage environment and unique character ranks.
Turf war enemy waves now spawn from one side for better mission variety.
Improved grenade cues for better awareness during combat.
Update 3




Update 3 added a fresh set of mission scenarios and environments to both the campaign and Crime Time, enhancing variety and replayability. Key improvements included stronger stealth mechanics, improved AI perception, and the introduction of a new “Shuffle” mode with randomized mission chains. Turf War was also updated to include solo defense missions, and progression was balanced to make the campaign economy smoother while making certain missions more forgiving.

Key Changes:

Stealth Improvements: Stronger takedowns, rebalanced AI perception, and adjusted suppressor effectiveness.
New “Shuffle” Mode: Players face randomized mission chains across three difficulty tiers, rewarding high rewards and extra Respect.
Turf War Update: Defense missions can now be attempted solo, allowing players to defend without hiring additional soldiers.
Balance & Progression Updates: Campaign economy smoothed, first Urban Legend (“New Blood”) made more forgiving, and character-specific missions now persist across campaign runs even if the character dies.
Multiplayer & UI Enhancements: Hosts can now kick, mute, or view player profiles, and new privacy settings were added to the lobby.



[h3]Sep 14, 2023 – “Dragon’s Gold Cup” Expansion Pack (Paid DLC)[/h3]

The first paid expansion, Dragon’s Gold Cup, introduces a new storyline and heist. Travis Baker teams up with Dollar Dragon to steal a former crime boss’s gold. The Gold Cup Heist is playable in three ways, with unique recon setups, and a single-player plotline unlocks Dollar Dragon as a recruitable crew member. New mission chains, including two Urban Legends, are added, along with an exclusive “Blue Dragon” outfit for Dollar Dragon.

[h3]Sep 14, 2023 – Update 4[/h3]
Launched alongside the DLC, this update made several gameplay and UI improvements:

Standardized Enemy Markers: Clearer identification in Turf Wars.

Buy-Back System: Lost weapons in Crime Time now return in the black market.

Stealth mechanics were revamped, and the team/character UI received an overhaul. Crew perks were updated to remove negative traits, and AI behavior was improved to make stealth play more challenging. This update also added support for the Dragon’s Gold Cup DLC and resolved several bugs.

New Missions and Environments:

Breaking Enemy Deals: Sneak into rival gang territories to steal loot, set in a roadside diner and a beach underpass.
Shopping Arcade Robbery: A new two-floor mall map added variety to heist missions.
Character & Perk Updates:

Negative character perks were removed, enhancing crew member traits.
The recruitable pool was expanded, offering more crew options.
Stealth & AI Improvements:

AI guards now have improved hearing and vision, making stealth play more difficult.

Friendly AI bots now support stealth by holstering weapons, intimidating civilians, and executing stealth takedowns when pinged.
Update 6




Update 6 introduced a festive winter theme, along with new content and gameplay improvements. The update featured a snowy main menu, holiday-themed enemies, and new female character models. It also introduced the “Police Station Heist” mission, where vehicles explode when shot, and an option to restart the campaign from the pause menu.

Fixed an audio bug where the score-counting sound looped at the end of Urban Legend missions.
Corrected a floating tire mark decal and ensured the loot-bag throwing animation worked for co-op spectators.
2024 Updates
Update 7



Update 7 brought major gameplay changes, including improvements to stealth mechanics, combat, and the single-player campaign experience. Key additions included enhanced stealth takedowns, an updated equipment system with cooldowns, reworked movement mechanics, and a revamped single-player campaign with a guided tutorial and new HEAT/Investigation systems. Additionally, the Butcher mini-boss became more challenging, and the Camera Jammer gadget was added to aid stealth.

Stealth Takedowns: Improved with new animations and smoother mechanics for silent eliminations.
Butcher Mini-Boss: Became more challenging. His weak spot (a fuel canister on his back) is easier to hit, but players can no longer exploit high ground to avoid his attacks.
Equipment System Rework: Grenades and tools now have cooldown timers instead of limited charges, and players purchase them like weapons.
Camera Jammer: A new rare gadget added to disable cameras silently.
Movement Refinements: Better mantling (climbing) and new vault animations.
Single-Player Campaign Overhaul:

The intro/tutorial was completely revamped with a new opening cutscene and a guided first mission.
The first day now serves as a structured tutorial, covering capturing turf, hiring an army, conducting heists, and ending the day.
The starting turf is fixed, and key characters (e.g., Ranger, Jupiter, Cracker) only appear later when the player has higher Respect.
A new cutscene introduces the Sheriff, explaining the HEAT and Investigation mechanics, which increase police presence based on player actions.
After the guided first day, the campaign transitions into the regular rogue-lite structure.
A button in the Options menu now resets all tutorial hints.
HEAT System Recalibration: Each mission raises HEAT, escalating police difficulty. The Investigation mechanic scales with the player’s actions, making high-crime sprees riskier.


[h3]Feb 15, 2024 – Update 7.2 [/h3]

Fixed an issue where players’ Respect level could wrap around from the highest tier to the lowest due to an overflow in experience points. This bug would reset the player’s max Respect.


[h3]Mar 14, 2024 – Update 7.9 [/h3]

A smaller update with balance tweaks and preparations for larger changes in Update 8.
Armored Truck Missions: Rebalanced to yield higher rewards.
Weapon and Economy Adjustments: Reworked weapon costs and progression aspects.
Bug Fixes: Resolved a glitch causing players to lose character control after using C4. Reduced the cost of hiring an army or starting Turf War battles with tier-3 soldiers.
Update 8




Update 8 introduced a major overhaul to the progression systems for both single-player and multiplayer. The update included a brand-new multiplayer progression system, along with improvements to the single-player rogue-lite campaign.

Multiplayer Progression: Players now earn experience and unlock items over time, leveling up their multiplayer “Boss” character to gain new weapons, throwables, character skins, and crew members.
Boss Customization: Players can choose their avatar for their Crime Time boss.
Weapon Purchases: The multiplayer shop now only offers gear unlocked through the new progression system, rather than all available weapons.
Single-Player Overhaul:

The rogue-lite campaign was shortened and streamlined for quicker runs.
Big heist missions were condensed, with fewer filler missions leading up to them.
Police investigations ramped up faster, shortening playthrough lengths.
Character Progression: Players now level up characters like Travis Baker during the campaign, unlocking higher-tier perks for both Baker and crew members.

Progression Reset: Ongoing campaigns and multiplayer progress were reset, and players received compensation (20 free levels and exclusive cosmetics).
Update 9 + Steam Release + Cagnali Order Expansion




Crime Boss: Rockay City launched on Steam, ending its Epic exclusivity. Along with the Steam release, Update 9 introduced the “Cagnali’s Order” DLC expansion.

Introduced players to the (then) limited-time Rockay Rumble mode, where players face waves of enemies. A significant new feature allowed all characters to equip a melee weapon, with damage and rarity rebalanced. Sstandalone mini-campaigns were added, each focused on a major heist and character story missions. XP could now be earned in multiple levels per mission, and side character missions no longer occurred in the rogue-lite mode, ensuring characters stayed in the sandbox campaign once unlocked.

A new co-op heist, “Operation Cold Strike,” set in the Arctic, was teased for early 2025. The Party Menu was revamped to give hosts more control. Multiplayer reward bonuses were overhauled: higher difficulties now offer bigger payouts (Hard +40%, Extreme +100%), with a flat +50% bonus for completing Urban Legends or Shuffle chains, and another +50% for perfect runs. A new “human players” bonus rewards 20–30% extra money for missions completed with human teammates. In Rockay Rumble, new enemy types, holiday-themed presents, and rebalanced health upgrades improved gameplay. Weapons and AI were adjusted, and Friendly Bots now pick up loot and use cover better. The Shielder enemy was fixed to properly absorb damage before breaking.

2025 Updates




A huge milestone for Crime Boss, connecting all platforms and celebrating the Lunar New Year. Cross-play was introduced between PC (Steam/Epic) and consoles (PS5, Xbox Series X|S), with players able to opt in or out of matchmaking. The AI bot system was revamped for improved behavior. Rockay Rumble received a new Lunar New Year-themed map, with added difficulty. The Respect system was enhanced, rewarding Boss Points for gaining Respect. Completing the Baker’s Battle campaign now rewards cash for use in co-op mode. A network status indicator was added to show connection quality. Weapon switching was improved with customizable scroll direction. New bonus objectives were added across missions, and the Armored Convoy mission was expanded to include all variants. Bot AI improvements made bots smarter, prioritizing survival, taking cover, and automatically delivering loot. Enemy balancing was adjusted, and Ranger’s perk was changed to “Gun Nut.” Weapon buffs were made to the Desert Eagle and Urban Striker for better viability.



[h3]Mar 20, 2025 – Hotfix 14.1 [/h3]

A stability hotfix following the cross-play update:

Ping warning threshold raised to 150ms.
Fixed a Rockay Rumble map issue where players could fall out of the arena.
Cleaned up campaign progression screen, removing duplicate titles.
Fixed revive bonus stacking issue.
Max-level players can now finish the campaign properly.
SWAT unit voice lines fixed to prevent muting after long missions.
Fixed Ranger’s second mission to resolve progression issues.
Addressed multiplayer lobby code duplication.

Hello, Bosses! In this blog, you’ll find a list of questions from the community and answers from the developers from our latest Q&A stream, hosted on Thursday, March 20, 2025. This followed the launch of Update 14 on March 11, 2025. As future updates roll out, some answers may change, but we always follow updates with a new Q&A to ensure players have the latest information on Crime Boss: Rockay City.

Additionally, we’ve included some extra answered questions that we couldn’t cover during the live stream, as they were received just before or during the broadcast.

If you’d like to watch the stream, you can find it on Twitch or YouTube.


Thank you for watching, reading, and most importantly, playing Crime Boss: Rockay City!



QUESTION: Will there be an upcoming hotfix to address issues like the Ranger mission door bug?

ANSWER: The just released 14.1 patch has fixed this problem. Thank you for your patience.

————————————————————

NOTE: If you want to see the full list of fixes in the 14.1 patch you can see them HERE.

QUESTION: Is there an option to switch off crossplay?

ANSWER: Yes, in the options menu under ‘Game’ settings. Scroll to the bottom to enable or disable crossplay. While we encourage using this feature for a broader player base in co-op mode, you can disable it if you prefer.

————————————————————

QUESTION: Is it just me, or is the ping really high for this game?

ANSWER: Since multiplayer is peer-to-peer, ping quality depends on the host’s internet upload speed. Many home connections have solid downloads but insufficient uploads, leading to higher ping. To improve your experience:

Use the session browser to find a server with better ping.
Host the game yourself.
We continue working on reducing network traffic with each update, though it’s a long process.

————————————————————

QUESTION: I played through the new Rumble map. Has anyone else had issues with randomly not being able to ADS or shoot?

ANSWER: This issue is not common. If you’re experiencing it, please ensure you’re not using third-party software like aimbots or autoclickers, as we’ve seen such software cause problems before.

————————————————————

QUESTION: My friend experiences a freezing bug after loading into a map. Any fix for this?

ANSWER: This is likely network-related and should be reported to customer support. To help diagnose the issue, please provide:

Whether this happens consistently. If the issue occurs when your friend hosts instead. The player’s ping and other network details. Whether verifying game data has been attempted.
You can submit a ticket for customer support HERE.

————————————————————

QUESTION: Any chance of getting XeSS 2 support soon? The SDK was just released, and the game has an Intel Arc logo at startup.

ANSWER: We are reviewing it but haven’t made a final decision yet.

————————————————————

QUESTION: Is cross-progression coming to the game? I’d love to continue playing on PC after hitting platinum on PS5.

ANSWER: Cross-progression is not planned.

————————————————————

QUESTION: Are there any PS5 Pro enhancements?

ANSWER: We can make some small adjustments to optimize settings for the Pro console, but this is not a major priority right now.

————————————————————

QUESTION: This update is great, but there’s still no public Lobby chat.

ANSWER: We initially removed Lobby voice chat due to technical issues with the on/off setting. We plan to resume work on this feature.



QUESTION: Any plans for modifications to the map? Such as more enemy spawns, less ammo, or higher enemy health? What about a new difficulty setting?

ANSWER: We launched with one difficulty level and later added more. While additional difficulties are easier to implement, mission-specific modifiers are more complex. We are considering this, as such additions would significantly improve replayability.

————————————————————

QUESTION: Any chance of New Game+ for the campaign? Where players can keep money and unlocks, but the game gets harder?

ANSWER: Not a top priority, but we are exploring customizable difficulty options that allow players to make the game easier or harder, including restrictions on boss cards and other settings. This is in the design phase with no ETA yet.

————————————————————

QUESTION: Would you consider bringing back Wiz’s secret mission chain to the roguelike campaign?

ANSWER: No promises, but the full Wiz story is still present in the Standalone plotline of Hidden Vault.

————————————————————

QUESTION: Any plans for new factions or expanding Rockay City, like introducing Yakuzas or adding a countryside location?

ANSWER: We would love to add new enemy bosses (Italians, Yakuza, Triads, Cubans, Colombians), but for now, the priority is expanding levels and adding new enemy archetypes (e.g., Butcher, Minigunner, Special SWAT). Something new is coming in Update 15.



QUESTION: Will we get a chat wheel 2.0 with more lines? I’d love to apologize when I mess up stealth.

ANSWER: We are analyzing its usage and open to suggestions on what to add. Let’s discuss this before development.

You can tell us your ideas in the suggestion channels on the official Discord!

————————————————————

QUESTION: Will the progression system be expanded so we always have something to work toward?

ANSWER: We learned a lot from our current progression system, introduced in Update 8. While we don’t plan a major overhaul, we are working on small improvements and new content like boss cards and single-player assets.

————————————————————

QUESTION: Could Boss skins locked behind Campaign wins also be earned in Multiplayer? I gave up on the campaign because I can never win thanks to the cyborgs.

ANSWER: We are exploring ways to make this possible. Meanwhile, you can try eliminating Cagnali sooner or limiting police investigation to improve campaign difficulty.



QUESTION: Will you tweak the dialogue? The characters sound flat.

ANSWER: Unfortunately, no. Existing dialogue recordings are final. Each character has over 2,500 lines, making re-recording impractical. However, we continue adding new VO for mission planners, guards, and SWAT lines.

————————————————————

QUESTION: Any updates on Nasara and Casey’s voice lines?

ANSWER: Yes, we should address this, but it’s lower on the priority list.

————————————————————

QUESTION: Will NPC-exclusive weapons like the Minigun ever be unlockable?

ANSWER]: Unlikely for now, but variations of existing guns are more likely to be added.

————————————————————

QUESTION: Could we get more free Boss skins like Teresa and Vamp?

ANSWER: We can’t confirm anything but check the public ROADMAP—there may be hints!

————————————————————

QUESTION: Could players carry more than four bags?

ANSWER: Four is the max with the mule booster equipment and the Mule Booster perk in the ‘Jupiter Character Pack’ DLC.




QUESTION: I wanted to ask if there are plans to add more diverse game modes like Rockay Rumble, which changes the main gameplay.

ANSWER: There are no plans for additional game modes in the near future. The focus is on improving existing content, especially multiplayer. However, some improvements and modifications may feel like new modes… We can’t say much more than that for now.

————————————————————

QUESTION: What about the Nasara Revenge DLC? Is it still planned? Maybe next year?

ANSWER: This DLC is not planned, as it was designed as a series of small linear missions in a detective/thriller style. IGS is focused on creating larger missions that can be played in both MP and SP. In Update 15, new missions will appear as both standalone MP missions and a new Urban Legend. These will also be added as plotlines in the SP campaign, along with the addition of Cold Strike. The concept of Nasara Revenge doesn’t fit into this approach.

————————————————————

QUESTION: Can we get an update to pick up bodies rather than placing them in suitcase-sized body bags? It would make the game much more immersive and higher quality!

ANSWER: Realistic corpse handling would be nice, but we don’t have it. Adding it is not a priority now. We have a long list of perks, abilities, equipment, and other gameplay improvements that seem more important.

————————————————————

QUESTION: Do AI companions not use their skills?

ANSWER: No, AI bots do not actively use their equipment. We experimented with this, but it caused more problems than it solved. In Crime Boss, AI bots only shoot, revive, and transport loot—which is already more than what is standard in the heisting genre. However, players can switch between characters and use AI equipment or skills manually.

————————————————————

QUESTION: In the Gold Cup heist, can all the trucks arrive?

ANSWER: If you are referring to the stealth version of Gold Cup, the truck arrival mechanics have already been changed. However, for loud gameplay, this is not the case.

————————————————————

QUESTION: Three requests: customizable weapon skins in the campaign, bring back the Italians, and let us play as Chuck in a police campaign flipping the script!

ANSWER: Unfortunately, there isn’t much good news regarding these requests:

Italians won’t return unless we decide to introduce additional gangs, which is unlikely for now.
Weapon skin customization is not planned for single-player.
As for playing as Chuck Norris, that would be a cool idea! A Crime Boss: Ready or Not style game could be fun, but for now, we’re focusing on heisting. Maybe we should pitch it to 505 Games!
————————————————————

QUESTION: Any plans for armor? You die so easily! Also, any future outfit changes for characters, including henchmen?

ANSWER: If you have game balance suggestions, we recommend joining the official Crime Boss Discord and discussing them with other players and developers. We have dedicated sections for suggestions, and we actively incorporate ideas into the game. Any help is appreciated!
