Watch out! REPO Lost Signals is yet another knockoff trying to pass as the hit horror game from Steam

Fakes, fakes everywhere. REPO Lost Signals is just a copy trying to cash in on the popularity of the real multiplayer game, R.E.P.O. Here’s how to recognize the impostors.

Another day, another rip-off. The hit Steam game R.E.P.O. just got a copycat on the PlayStation Store, again. The original is still in early access and hasn’t even launched on consoles yet, but somehow, there’s already a bunch of knockoffs on PS5. Be careful, some of them are really trying to pass as the real deal.

The R.E.P.O. rip-off saga continues

A few weeks back, R.E.P.O. Horror was the #1 trending game on PlayStation Store, but most people quickly figured out it wasn’t the real deal, despite using the same key art. It didn’t take long to be taken down, but surprise, surprise – another clone popped up: R.E.P.O. Ghost Haul. This one even launched at the same price as the original. Luckily, it was removed too, though not as fast as it should’ve been.

And here we go again. Another copy just showed up on PS Store, called REPO Lost Signals. But at this point, I’m pretty sure everyone sees through it. This time, they didn’t even try to make the promotional art look convincing, and the game’s description is so dull and obviously AI-generated that I almost fell asleep reading it.

Let me say this one more time: If you’re unsure whether you’re looking at the real game, always check the developer’s details. R.E.P.O. was created by semiworks, a small studio from Sweden. If you see a version that doesn’t list them as the developer, it’s a fake.

Also, if the game is missing a proper trailer or even a handful of real gameplay screenshots, that’s a major red flag. Legit games always have at least some in-game footage to show. So, if all you see is vague promo art and generic descriptions, steer clear.

Been with gamepressure.com since 2019, mostly writing game guides but you can also find me geeking out about LEGO (huge collection, btw). Love RPGs and classic RTSs, also adore quirky indie games. Even with a ton of games, sometimes I just gotta fire up Harvest Moon, Stardew Valley, KOTOR, or Baldur's Gate 2 (Shadows of Amn, the OG, not that Throne of Bhaal stuff). When I'm not gaming, I'm probably painting miniatures or admiring my collection of retro consoles.
