Can you play Payday 3 solo?

September 22, 2023 If you're here because of Payday 3 server issues, it might not help. Thanks to Payday 3's always-online system, even invite-only matchmaking may be suffering.

Does Payday 3 have a solo mode? The Payday is all about heisting, and if there's one thing you need in a heist, it's a team. In Payday 3, the playable cast consists of six members, some you might recognize, others you won't. But what about if you want to crack on with a heist on your own?

That said, if you don't play well with others, or Payday 3 servers are down, you might have the option to team up with AI teammates to get the job done. Here's how to do just that as you work through the Payday 3 heists, stick it to the man, and rake in all that cash.
