Games like Schedule I
20 games, the closest and most played first.
What to consider
Summarized by AISchedule I fans like building something illicit from nothing and running it as a small crew. These picks go through the crime world in different directions: Dirty Business is the nearest management sim, Crime Simulator is a roguelite grind, and GTA V, Police Simulator and Drug Dealer Simulator 2 look at a city from other sides.
The drug trade is back, set in the early 2000s and played solo. You are a fugitive in Isla Sombra who needs to prove their worth, win back their life and make a fortune, in a first-person open world. Expect the lone path of a dealer rebuilding a life, with no crew to share the work or the profit.
Standout features
- Early 2000s setting
- Fugitive on Isla Sombra
- First-person open world
2. Police Simulator: Patrol Officers
Best for friends who want a calm, realistic open-world job simulation.
62 votes
Same city-and-crime backdrop, from the other side of the law. You join the police force of Brighton and start with citing violations and writing parking tickets, then take on more responsibility. Online co-op, investigation and realism make the work closer to a patient shift than a rush of crime.
Standout features
- Parking tickets and citations
- Brighton neighborhoods
- Growing responsibilities
3. Dirty Business
Best for players who like optimizing production chains in a criminal empire.
34 votes
A management and building take on the same business. You expand an underground criminal operation beneath the city, hiring workers and optimizing production, then push into city-wide distribution, in single-player or co-op. Production is the heart of it, and the weapons and counterfeit money lines add variety to what you can make.
Standout features
- Underground operation
- Hire and grow your gang
- Cartel airstrip
4. Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced
Best for players who want a heist story in a large open world.
446 votes
A bigger, louder crime story in a ruthless city. A street hustler, a retired bank robber and a psychopath are pulled into a series of dangerous heists, while the open world is yours to roam. You will find a more cinematic tone than Schedule I, with a story that pushes you from one dangerous job to the next.
Standout features
- Three-character story
- Dangerous heists
- Open-world Los Santos
A quick, repeatable crime grind. After a mysterious benefactor bails you out of jail, you break into houses and steal valuables to pay them back, fast. It is a roguelite grind built around risk, reward and replayability, and online co-op is supported.
Standout features
- Roguelite crime grind
- Break-ins and theft
- Pay back the benefactor
