PAYDAY 3 News

Hello heisters, we hope you're having a wonderful week - and if you're not, we have some cool news for you to dig into when it comes to PAYDAY 3!



We're nearing the launch date on September 21 (Early Access on September 18), but today we wanted to give you a glimpse of what's to come for Year 1 of PAYDAY 3 and its future content.

Besides 4 DLCs, with names yet to be fully determined, we'll also look at seasonal events, playable characters, new enemy, weapons, Unreal Engine 5 upgrade, cosmetics, quality of life improvements, new
features and much more. Let us know in the comments which part you're the most excited for!





Last week you got a first look at the two additional playable characters in PAYDAY 3, Pearl & Joy. Today we're giving you a first-hand look at how they will play and look like. Have at it!

Other than that, we hope you're as hyped as we are for the launch which is only two weeks away!

Anyone up for another beta? You guessed it, this weekend we'll run another technical beta of PAYDAY 3. This time it will be OPEN for you to push our servers to the limit.

Second BETA
As you might’ve heard already, we’re doing a second Technical BETA - in other words, a server stress test. Same build as last time so no new UI or heists for now.

We want to ensure that we have as few issues as possible ahead of our very imminent launch, so this test is meant to do just that. Between september 8th and 11th we’re running an open BETA, just go to our store page, download the build and play.

Server Slam
Since this is a technical test so if you do participate in the BETA, we’d appreciate it if you’d help us put pressure on our servers by logging on and matchmaking all at once on Saturday, 9th Sept 1 AM CEST (Friday 4 PM PT) as well as Sunday, 10th Sept 6 PM CEST (9 AM PT) (check the times for your timezone here) until something breaks.
This is the one time we ask you to help destroy our stuff, so please, take the opportunity!

For more information, the BETA FAQ and a handy time conversion for the server slam, check out the BETA site.

We won, twice! Thanks to everyone that voted for us in the Gamescom Awards.
It really means a lot to us, making a game is a scary venture. You never know what people are going to think, you try your hardest to make something good, and sometimes it just doesn’t land.

Getting these awards is a great way for us to boost our spirits by hearing that our intended players are actually liking what they see and play.

Thank you heisters!
