Description

Multiplayer VR city sandbox. Go from rags to riches while surviving cops, SWAT, and your neighbors. Hustle. Build. Raid.

Scavenge for scrap. Find ways to profit. Raid your rivals. Outrun the law. Repeat.

Gutter Kings is a free-to-play PvPvE city sandbox. Every session drops you onto a fresh street with new loot, challenges, and neighbors. Your character saves. Your money, inventory, mission progress, and unlocks save. Every hour builds on the last.

History

Gutter Kings started as one question: what happens when you drop DarkRP-style roleplay into a VR headset? The answer turned into a solo-dev project built from the ground up for Meta Quest standalone.

The city draws from the sandbox chaos of Garry's Mod DarkRP and the open-world hustle of GTA — but rebuilt for the physicality of VR. You reach out and grab your money printer. You duck behind a wall when the SWAT team breaches. You hand off a package to a stranger who might rob you on the spot.

Built by a solo developer on roughly ten hours a week, Gutter Kings trades polish for scope and systems depth. Every feature ships because it makes the city feel more alive, more hostile, and more worth surviving.

What you do

Buy property. Fortify the door, arm the security system, and build a defensive turret.
Run money printers. Grow flower. Brew purple soda. Deliver packages. Scavenge. Every job pays. Bring your earnings to the Casino.
Raid your enemies. Blow up the doors with rocket launchers or other explosives. Stash what your backpack can hold and escape before you're caught.
Outrun the law — cops, SWAT, bomb drones, and Protection Mechs. The higher your crime rate, the bigger the response.
Choose your life. Criminal outlaw, regular worker, or even bounty hunter.

Why it's different

Fresh sandbox sessions with character progression saving.
PvPvE. Players and NPCs live in the city, so the criminal breaking into your house could be either.
Persistent character progression.
Many playstyles.
