In PAYDAY 3: Chapter 1 – Syntax Error, the Gang is thrust back into action following a mysterious conspiracy, just to unravel a bigger web of betrayal spinning around John Concord, the former CEO of Murkywater. Players will execute high-tech heists and ultimately face a hidden enemy empowered by an AI called “SINS”. They have to leverage the art of heisting to execute their revenge on the CEO of Scry Digital, the guy that tried to kill the Gang. As they enter the building, the heist intensifies and they expose a cutting-edge drone system. These remote-controlled objects provide intel about John Concord’s scheme.

The four most well-known clown-masked criminals in recent video game history returned from retirement last September in PAYDAY 3 on PC via PC Game Pass, on Steam and Epic Games Store, as well as Xbox Series S|X, on Console Game Pass, PlayStation 5 and GeForce Now.
