How it plays
A crew of up to four picks a heist, splits up watching guards, carrying bags and cracking locks, then improvises when the alarm goes off.
Friends on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series can play together, and a friend can join a heist already in progress.
It needs an online connection even when playing solo.
