PAYDAY 3 is slated to score its biggest haul yet, with the high-stakes cooperative heist game coming to PS5 on 24th September. PlayStation players hoping to get in a job or two during the upcoming closed beta session (2nd-7th August) will have to look elsewhere, however, as publisher Deep Silver and developer Starbreeze have announced that only PC and Xbox platforms would be eligible.
No reason is given; the PS5 is just not mentioned, and it's possible another session is slated before launch. If you're interested and have access to either platform, you can request beta access from the game page (Steam example), which will be approved randomly, with more slots opening throughout the week. In PAYDAY 3, players can run missions solo, but the game requires a constant internet connection, a surefire way to annoy a segment of any player base.
Are you looking forward to playing PAYDAY 3? Do you think we will see a PlayStation-specific test in future? Let us know in the comments section below.

Always dumb to skip something like a Beta on a platform.
Reason: MS paid to keep it off PS5 most likely
I'm devastated I don't know if I will be able to sleep tonight 😂
Weird move but MS probably paid for the beta to skip PS5.
@Flaming_Kaiser Seriously, a thing where it's about giving feedback and they keep a system off of it lol
@Nepp67 It's silly and not a good look can you remember the PS1/2 with something as unique as a demo. 😅
For an upcoming game that looks like it’s from the PS2 era, I doubt an open beta would improve anything about it.. it will release eventually, do poorly in sales, and the company will be liquidated.. never to be heard of again 🪦
SuXbox can have it.. I can guarantee that none of us loyal PS5ers will lose an ounce of sleep over it.. especially considering our lineup the next couple months
Removed - unconstructive
It is possible this is a staggered beta scenario.
Tekken 8's Closed Network Test dropped on PlayStation first and then PC and Xbox a week later.
Maybe Starbreeze needs to a little more time between platforms and it didn't make sense to have Sony sign-ups just yet.
@lolwhatno If it was a PS exclusive they would be singing it's praises.
@BeerIsAwesome I played it on PS4 and uninstalled it after thirty minutes as it looked and played like a PS3 game. Proper bobbins!
