The Boss Gangster: Criminal Empire is a single-player Windows game from BEF Games, published by Tripwire Presents. Version 1.0 released on 27 October 2026. Steam listed it at $18.99, discounted to $15.19 (20% off) when I checked the US store API on 29 October 2026. A separate free demo (AppID 2820150) offers up to one hour.
The 29 October 2026 review compared Steam appdetails, GOG and the official site. They agree on the title, Windows platform and 27 October release. GOG structured data explicitly labels its regional price SGD; it is not a US dollar quote.
What you can do from here
There is no browser build on the official site or on Steam. The demo is a Steam download, not an embed. The pink button goes to the demo page, which links the official demo app. The trailer button stays as a still until you click it.
Steam's store text says the city has 11 districts. The same app record lists 32 achievements, full controller support, Steam Cloud, and Family Sharing. English is the only language marked with full audio. Thirteen other languages have interface support, including Turkish, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish (Spain).

Official news dates the Early Access launch to 31 October 2025. Backloggd/IGDB records 1 November 2025. Both dates stay on the comparison page.
