Available within a few hours, Samson promises to be a very promising GTA-like which is already attracting many players with its very attractive pricing policy.
While players remain hanging on the lips of Rockstar Games waiting to finally have news of GTA 6many other studios are taking advantage of the latter’s postponement to quietly go about their business. And you just have to look at the schedule for the next few weeks to realize it: between April and May, there are a host of big releases that are expected, mixed with more unexpected but nevertheless closely watched titles. Among them in particular: Samsona very promising GTA-like from Liquid Swords.
This new GTA-like is already attracting players with its price
It is in fact today, April 8, 2026, that this independent title is released, having caught the eye of many players because of its similarities with Rockstar productions. And Christofer Sundberg, the creator of the game, repeats to anyone who wants to listen that “Samson is not GTA”that doesn’t stop GTA fans from eyeing it because of its many very promising previews. Especially since its universe and its gameplay are far from being the only arguments of this new title. Its price, also, plays largely in its favor.
And for good reason, at a time when games tend to cost more and more, Samson is about to see the light of day for the modest sum of $25 on Steam. A deliberate choice on the part of Liquid Swords, which decided very early on to ensure that it offered the best value for money to all players. “You benefit from 25 hours of play (including 10 hours devoted to the story) in a very entertaining brawler. It’s like a 90’s action movie.” Sundberg explained to GameSpot on this subject.
“As I have said many times before, I would rather deliver more than expected for $25 rather than break my promises for $70”. A remark which has far from gone unnoticed by Internet users, who welcome the position of the creators of Samson on this subject. “Such a pricing policy is wise, the value of the brand increases faster than the margin in the short term” for example highlighted a player on X. “I will definitely buy it, if only to support fair pricing and good development teams”assures another.
A game that will not put players into debt… unlike the hero
Especially since, as the creator of the GTA-like was able to point out to GameSpot, the title is likely to evolve over time. “The game will be enriched over time with additional content, free or paid, and players will definitely get value for their $25” he notably confided. But will this be enough to make Samson a success, and above all a good alternative to wait until the release of GTA 6? Response around 2 p.m., when it will be officially available exclusively on Steam.
As a reminder, this GTA-like designed by a former developer of Just Cause and Mad Max will place us in control of Samson, a man in debt whose sister was kidnapped by dangerous criminals. Determined to help him, the latter does not hesitate to accept all kinds of missions in the most difficult neighborhoods of the town of Tyndalston in order to be able to pay off his debts; even if it means resorting to merciless violence to achieve this. According to Liquid Swords, the notion of debt should then add flavor to the experience by being at the heart of the gameplay loop.
