Solo Mode Beta
As part of our Operation Medic Bag initative, we're introducing v1 of our Solo Mode as a Beta for all heisters - a required first step to take for Offline Mode’s features.
Solo Mode allows you to skip the matchmaking step, however a persistent internet connection is still required.
Now, this is a beta because we know how important this feature will be for a lot of people, so we want to make sure we’re doing our due diligence in getting feedback and resolving major issues during this period. We’re obviously testing this feature as we’re building upon it, but we know that wider testing will expose the feature to more setups, systems, and scenarios, so if you encounter any issues when testing the beta, please let us know so we can continue to improve it.
To Launch Solo Mode Beta:
- From the Main Menu, select "Game Modes"
- Select "Solo Mode Beta" from the Mode Selection Screen
- Select a heist and loadout as you normally would, click "Ready", and heist!
Pricing Changes & Compensation
We’re lowering the price significantly for Year 1’s upcoming DLCs.
In addition, we’re taking a number of cosmetic items formerly intended for sale in the in-game store and adding them to the various editions to bring their value up and compensate for the Syntax Error pricing.
Edition Compensation Item Roll-out
All compensation items will be released to all relevant edition owners over the coming weeks. Details of who gets what can be found here.
Read More about the Pricing Changes & Compensation
Introducing the Gold Pass
In addition, we're introducing an upgrade package for players who do not own the Gold or Collector's Edition - The Gold Pass.
Upgrading to this package will give you everything that the Gold Edition offers, including the compensation items!

Syntax Error Free Weekend (Postponed)
During this weekend, we intended to allow players to try Syntax Error for free on Steam.
Unfortunately we ran into an issue which means we will relocate this free opportunity to a later date in July.
Known Issues
- Heist:

- Solo Mode:
- Players are able to start a solo mode heist while in a co-op lobby. The fact that the player isn't available for co-op won't be communicated to other party members.
- Solo Mode heists will reward double cash rewards. We'll call this one an incentive to help us test the feature.
- The reward screen will display double the amount of bags actually secured in the reward screen.
- The visual confirmation of skill progression after a heist is missing. XP is still rewarded, but the visual element isn't displaying.
- Failing a heist will display a "Text Block"-text in place of the infamy progression.
