Teardown Hits Steam Early Access on October 29

Tuxedo Labs revealed today that their sandbox heist simulator Teardown will hit Steam Early Access on October 29th. The game will cost US$20, and its Early Access FAQ states that the price won’t be increased once it’s fully released.

As you can probably see in the trailer I’ve embedded below, Teardown is a beautiful looking title, and it uses a custom engine specifically built for the game, with support for raytracing (though it doesn’t require RTX hardware to run). According to the developers, a modern PC with an Intel Core i7 and a GTX 1070 (or equivalent hardware from other manufacturers) is recommended, though the game should run on older hardware as well (at lower frame rates).

Plan the perfect heist using creative problem solving, brute force, and everything around you. Teardown features a fully destructible and truly interactive environment where player freedom and emergent gameplay are the driving mechanics.

Tear down walls with explosives or vehicles to create shortcuts no one thought was possible. Stack objects, build structures, or use floating objects to your advantage. Take your time to create the most efficient path through the level and get ready to run.

The moment you pick up your first target, an alarm goes off, and the heat is on. Run, jump, drive, slingshot, do whatever you need to collect all of the targets, and escape before security arrives.
