How it plays
A crew of up to three drops in together, picks complementary Runner shells and decides when to push for loot and when to leave.
Losing a run costs the gear you brought, so every extraction feels earned and tense.
Everyone needs a copy, and PC, PlayStation and Xbox players can crew up together.
