A science fiction shooter titled SYNCED, developed by the NExT studio, is published by Level Infinite, a subsidiary under Tencent. The game is offered at no cost to players.
SYNCED blends PvP and PvE gameplay, inviting players to form crews for cooperative missions or to clash with rivals in loot-driven battles. The game emphasizes group play as a core experience, while competitive modes provide high-stakes encounters against other teams.
According to the official description, each match transports players to unusual battlefields where they confront escalating PvE challenges from fallen sectors and tyrannical forces. In these scenarios, teams push through asymmetric environments, destroy threats, and harness strategic advantages to gain the upper hand in combat. PvP bouts then test reflexes, tactic, and teamwork as players vie for valuable loot and superior positioning.
The setting is a post-apocalyptic future where nanotechnology sparked civilizational upheaval. Players assume the role of “runners,” explorers tasked with uncovering long-hidden histories and technologies that could redefine the current world. The narrative thread centers on piecing together clues from the past to influence the fragile present—and perhaps prevent future collapses.
In terms of adversaries, SYNCED features a range of mutated creatures that break apart into crystalline fragments when defeated. These enemies create opportunities for resource gathering and environment-based tactics, encouraging players to exploit terrain and weapon customization for maximum effect.
Among the notable features are nano-satellites, categorized into several types such as Crusher, Guardian, Seer, and Suppressor. These devices can be deployed as combat tools to bolster defense, disrupt opponents, or augment offensive power, adding a layer of strategic depth to engagements.
Players can add SYNCED to their Steam library, and the title is also available on the Epic Games Store, broadening access across PC gaming ecosystems.
