    Payday 3 is the third entry in the always online, one-to-four-player, cooperative heist FPS series from Starbreeze Studios.

    The great escape

    After a disappointing launch and then some brief moments of optimism, it seems like developer Starbreeze is stepping away from the multiplayer heist game PAYDAY 3.

    If it ain't broke...

    We haven't heard much on the PAYDAY 3 front in recent days, but as developer Starbreeze's cooperative shooter approaches its first anniversary, it seems players still much prefer the now decade-old PAYDAY 2. Perhaps in response to this, game director Miodrag Kovačevićas will be stepping away from the role, instead focusing his...

  • News Six Weeks Later, PAYDAY 3 Gets Its First Patch

    And it's a fairly substantial one

    Some six weeks after its chaotic launch, cooperative heist game PAYDAY 3 has gotten its first patch. It weighs in around 2GB and includes more than 200 fixes, tweaks, quality-of-life improvements, and quashed bugs. Whether it will be enough to stem the game's bleeding player count remains to be seen, but it's...

  • News PAYDAY 3 Developer Explains Why First PS5 Patch is Still MIA

    The perfect crime

    PAYDAY 3 has had a rough launch, and communication with the community (or lack thereof) has only exacerbated matters further. And while it seems like some players are at least playing the game, Starbreeze's situation is undesirable, and its first patch is still nowhere to be found more than a month later. In a quick update posted...

  • News PAYDAY 3's Launch Has Been So Rough That an Offline Mode Is Being Considered

    Online requirement might go away

    Heist shooter threequel, PAYDAY 3, has had a very rocky launch. Developer Starbreeze has been putting out fires since launch day, as matchmaking issues and other server-related problems have stopped an eager player base from, well, playing. The game's always-online requirement means it's even affecting those looking...

  • News PAYDAY 3's Chaotic Launch Experience Prompts CEO Apology

    Caught in the act

    Multiplayer heist sim PAYDAY 3's launch has been anything but smooth, with massive numbers of players unable to access the game.

About The Game

PAYDAY 3 is the much anticipated sequel to one of the most popular co-op shooters ever. Since its release, PAYDAY-players have been reveling in the thrill of a perfectly planned and executed heist. That’s what makes PAYDAY a high-octane, co-op FPS experience without equal.
