Of all the games you'd expect to consistently be featuring in the "Top Paid" Xbox Charts, Police Simulator: Patrol Officers probably isn't one of them. However, since it launched back in late 2022, it's pretty much always been there.

Police Sim has undoubtedly proved a success on the platform, and we've been having a generally good time with it over the past few months, even though it's certainly not the most polished Xbox game out there.

Here's a look at our "hands-on" if you're interested:

Today's update for Police Simulator: Patrol Officers ("Update 10") is a huge one, introducing a new Police Garage where you can organise your trunk and repair your cars, and the team has also "completely overhauled all the patrol vehicles and improved controls across the board" which impacts steering, braking and more.

In addition, there's a new $2.99 DLC where you can add a tiny Compact Police Vehicle to your game! You can watch the trailer for that at the bottom of the article.

All in all, this sounds like a good update, and we're happy to see developer Astragon putting effort into improving the game over six months since launch. It'll probably continue to appear in the Xbox Charts throughout the rest of 2023!
