Now Playing: Payday 3 Everything To Know
However, earlier today, Starbreeze said, “[W]e’re now confident in saying we’re on our way back to full force.” The co-op shooter sees players working together to pull off heists in New York City this time. Payday 3 released on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S; it also was a day-one launch on Xbox Game Pass. Earlier this week, the developer dropped anti-piracy Denuvo DRM for the game just days before release.
Starbreeze has big plans for Payday 3, with four post-launch DLCs previously announced for the online shooter in its first year. Syntax Error will kick things off this winter for the game as the first add-on. The developer also wants to bring seasonal events, new characters, and updated features to the game in the future.
