Keep Law and Order! Police Simulator: Patrol Officers Available Now on PC, PlayStation and Xbox
astragon Entertainment, in collaboration with developer studio Aesir Interactive, releases Police Simulator: Patrol Officers both digitally and at retail for PC and consoles today. Players start their career with the Brighton Police Department to enforce law and order in the streets of the fictive US coastal city of Brighton and get an insight into everyday police work. At the same time as the release, the Urban Terrain Vehicle DLC is also available at a price of 2.99 Euro/2.49 GBP/2.99 USD, which includes a fancy patrol car. Players who have already purchased Police Simulator: Patrol Officers in Early Access or pre-ordered the game will receive the DLC for free.
Before they start their first shift, players can choose between eight different characters to start their police career with. A variety of challenging tasks await them, with the difficulty and complexity increasing as the police officers climb the career ladder. Initially, they distribute parking tickets on foot, but soon the players receive their first patrol car, are allowed to catch speeders, solve accidents and track down suspects. Particularly experienced officers can eventually even solve robberies and arrest drug dealers. As you play, new interactions, vehicles and precincts are continuously unlocked, making no shift feel like the previous one. In addition, a game mechanic has been implemented that tracks and rates the player's behavior, where bad behavior can quickly lead to dismissal. In addition, Police Simulator: Patrol Officers offers players the possibility to go on patrol in pairs in the online co-op mode and thus keep law and order in Brighton.
The game was released in Early Access on Steam back in June 2021 and since then has received numerous additional content, updates and improvements that the community has been asking for. In the future, gamers can also look forward to more updates that bring exciting new content. At least three more updates are planned on all platforms until mid-2023, but more surprises await them furthermore.
Police Simulator: Patrol Officers for PC costs 29.99 Euro/24.99 GBP/29.99 USD as a standard retail and digital version. For consoles, the standard version costs 39.99 Euro/34.99 GBP/39.99 USD in retail and digitally. The retail versions will be available in selected countries.

Surely gamm dev's could find somethin moar productive to do with their time, yes ?
This is the last thing we need considering most people are already checked out from reality here in the states.
I tell ya, I don't think any mod particularly wants to wade in here but seeing as I've got beers to drink, I may as well say this:
The OP refers to a PC simulator game. I don't see much talk about a game. Pretty sure nobody talked about archaeology when the latest Tomb Raider or Uncharted games came out. So why is everyone talking about actual 'real' policing? Talk about the game. Hell, the most on point comment was the one that mentioned it was like a reverse GTA. US policing is not on trial here and TPU is not the forum to discuss it anyway.
If you can't make a light-hearted, jovial comment about what could be a fun (or bizarre) game, please don't waste your keystrokes. Now I'll go do some chins ups and see how many tomatoes get thrown my way. :rolleyes:
I think @Valantar has been pretty explicit about all of this, and has managed not to talk about the conservative backlash against policing and law and order in the US, which would make this a “political” discussion rather than a systemic or ideological one, at least for those that think there’s a difference.
It’s strange to me that you all make these editorial decisions and are then surprised at the outcomes. Does anyone want to buy this game, where you can’t fantasize about being a pimp or going on a homocidal rampage like you can in GTA? Probably not. Will users defend what they see as “realistic” encounters in policing? Seems obvious.
Warning: nonsense
we all know the original was police quest by Sierra circa 1987
If this was UK police, and he didn't have a license for that knife, he could face execution.Listen gramps, we are now in the 3D and possibly 4D realm now. We have far more pixels and we got Polygons.
When I want to fill a guy who jaywalk with lead, I want to make sure it's in 3 dimensions.
If only they made this game M for mature so we can have same kind of graphical squibs like in Soldier of fortune double helix.
Yes, it's humor. I'm assuming you're British. And no, I don't have a license for my humor either.
