Payday 3 to have a smaller team, less investment going forward, Starbreeze says

If the last few years of the videogame industry have taught me anything, it's to expect a comeback. CD Projekt Red made sure Cyberpunk 2077 would rise from the ashes, Hello Games continues to support No Man's Sky after almost a decade, and Square Enix's Final Fantasy 14 2.0 turned the MMO into a gargantuan success. I have faith that Payday 3 will join these games, especially after the improvements Starbreeze has made to the co-op FPS in its first year. As we enter the game's next year of content, however, Starbreeze says it'll be lowering investment and using a smaller team - but it's not as bad as it might sound.

Payday 3 just dropped its most important update yet for free

While it's always frustrating when a promising game releases in a less-than-ideal state, I do enjoy seeing one go through a solid redemption arc. Payday 3 is definitely one of those games. It's been steadily honing the co-op FPS into an experience that better captures the magic of its still-popular predecessor, and now that it's pushed live its massive anniversary update full of essential new features and improvements, it's finally starting to look like the experience it should've been from the get-go.

Game-changing Payday 3 update fixes servers, UI, and some of the worst problems

Payday 2 was such a gigantic success, the sequel was always going to suffer by comparison. In the sophomore entry, Starbreeze got it everything right - Payday 2 was precisely what fans of the original heist FPS wanted, and over a decade of incremental updates, community sentiment only became more glowing. Payday 3, as Starbreeze told us directly, was a disaster at launch. But more than a year down the road, and with recent Steam reviews now 'mostly positive' on aggregate, the opportunity for redemption is bigger than ever. Enter the latest Payday 3 update. Marking the shooter's anniversary, it fixes some of the most severe problems players have encountered so far and adds features like server browsing, cross-platform voice chat, and a reimagined interface.
