It’s no secret that Crime Boss: Rockay City got off to a ‘rockay’ start last year when it launched for consoles and Gog. However, in the time since, InGame Studios has put a lot of time and effort into making the game closer to its original vision, with constant updates, content, and more seemingly every week.

We were lucky enough to talk with Jarek Kolář, the Managing Director of InGame Studios, about the original launch, the changes they’ve made, the recent Steam launch, and how they’re planning to win everyone back in the future, and much more besides.

However, it seems like the folks at Ingame Studios haven’t given up on the game and have consistently pushed updates for it in the last 12 months. The game recently came out on Steam, and it feels like it is finally in a state that fans appreciate.
