Quick answer
The official Steam description ties Augs in Probably Stolen to a sentient AI chip that went rogue and took its hosts with it. It says Augs look like everyone else until they do not, tells the player to notice the signs, says all factions agree on the policy and that the player has a gun, and warns that missing or misreading the signs has a price.
The official description does not explain the gameplay behind those statements. This page only repeats what it says.
What the official description says
The Steam store description for Probably Stolen covers Augs in five statements:
- A sentient AI chip went rogue and took its hosts.
- Augs look like everyone else until they do not.
- The player should notice the signs.
- All factions agree on the policy and the player has a gun.
- Missing or misreading signs has a price.
These five statements are the only Augs facts used on this page.
What that means for players
Taken together, the description frames Augs as a difference you are expected to spot: hosts blend in, noticing the signs is the player's job, the factions share one policy, the player is armed, and missing or misreading the signs has a price.
Beyond these statements, the official description checked for this page does not explain how Augs work in gameplay. If you are playing the Playtest, treat what the game shows you as the current source of truth, and recheck the official Steam page after updates.
What remains unknown
The official store description does not identify the exact signs, provide a fixed detection procedure, explain the policy in detail, or state the specific result of a correct or incorrect decision. It also does not provide Aug types, upgrade rules, equipment instructions, or a tier list.
Until an official patch note or in-game explanation supplies those details, any more specific Augs instructions would be unverified.
