Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus is an updated version of the 2002 original, featuring high-definition graphics, improved performance, and integrated trophy support. Released as part of the Sly Cooper Collection on the PlayStation 3, it retains the core stealth-platformer gameplay while modernising the visual presentation for contemporary standards.
Sly Cooper comes from a long line of master thieves (the Cooper Clan) who only steal from other criminals, thus making them vigilantes. The Cooper family's heirloom, an ancient book by the name The Thievius Raccoonus, records all the secret moves and techniques from every member in the clan. On his 8th birthday, Sly was supposed to inherit the book and learn all of his family's ancient secrets which was supposed to help him become a master thief, however, a group of thugs by the name "The Fiendish Five" (led by Clockwerk, who is the arch-nemesis of the family clan) attack the Cooper household and kills Sly's parents and stole all of the pages from the Thievius Raccoonus. After that, the ruthless gang go their separate ways to commit dastardly crimes around the world. Sly is sent to an orphanage where he meets and teams up and forms a gang with two guys who become his lifelong best friends, Bentley, a technician, inventor and a talented mathematical hacker with encyclopedic knowledge who plays the role as the brains of the gang, and Murray, a huge husky cowardly guy with a ginormous appetite who plays the role as the brawns and the getaway driver of the gang. The three leave the orphanage together at age 16 to start their lives becoming international vigilante criminals together, naming themselves "The Cooper Gang". Sly swears one day to avenge his family and track down the Fiendish Five and steal back the Thievius Raccoonus. Two years later, the Cooper Gang head to Paris, France, to infiltrate Itnerpol (a police headquarters) in order to find the secret police file which stores details and information about the Fiendish Five but during the heist they are ambushed by Inspector Carmelita Fox (towards whom Sly develops a romantic attraction), a police officer who is affiliated with Interpol and is after the Cooper Gang. The gang manage to steal the police file and successfully escapes from her and the rest of the cops. With the secret police file finally in their hands, the Cooper Gang manage to track down the Fiendish Five.

The game offers both single-player and two-player cooperative multiplayer modes as players progress through a series of levels. Featuring six playable characters—Ratchet, Clank, Jak, Daxter, Sly Cooper, and Bentley—the game comprises a total of 50 levels categorized into five "archetypes", five weapon classes, and four environments. These environments include Paris from Sly Cooper & Bentley, Metropolis City on Kerwan from Ratchet & Clank, Haven City from Jak and Daxter, and Planet X, an original game-created environment. Players have the flexibility to choose their character for each level, with each character offering a distinct gameplay style and potential advantages on specific levels. In cooperative play, the second player assumes the role of the first player's sidekick character. For instance, if the first player selects Jak, the second player automatically becomes Daxter. The five weapon classes—Disc, Whip, Bowling, Projectile, and Melee—each bring a unique gameplay element. The Disc is thrown akin to a frisbee, with players controlling its navigation remotely using the Move controller to achieve objectives like hitting moving targets. The Whip is operated via the Move controller with 1-to-1 movement. Bowling functions similarly to the Disc, where players throw a bowling ball and guide it using the Move controller. Projectiles involve various guns and weapons, such as grenade launchers. Melee utilizes each character's distinctive weapons—Sly's cane, Ratchet's wrench, or Jak's gunstaff—to engage enemies in a manner reminiscent of their original games.
