Police Simulator: Patrol Officers recently released its “The Nightshift with Friends" update. This added new features and made gameplay changes. The developers have launched a co-op multiplayer mode and a new Nightshift mode. The co-op multiplayer mode is the most interesting feature as you get to patrol the city with your friend and hand out tickets.
The new Nightshift mode takes place late at night. The city does have lanterns hanging around, but players can also use new items like flashlights and road flares to illuminate dark areas. The road flares can be used to mark accident sites more clearly.
