PAYDAY 3 News

[h3]Hello Heisters![/h3]

This Sunday, August 13th will mark 10 years since the launch of PAYDAY 2. We have a celebration planned with an in-game event, though more details on that will follow next week.

In this announcement, we are inviting you to join the celebratory stream! At 12PM CEST we are hosting a 10-hour stream marathon on the day of the anniversary, Sunday, August 13th.

The first seven hours will be hosted by PAYDAY’s Toast Master, Almir Listo together with Elisabeth and Dennis who will be joined by guests from the development team, playing PAYDAY, answering questions and telling stories from the development of the PAYDAY games.

After that, we’ll turn the stream over to our friends at game studio 10 Chambers, formerly members of OVERKILL Software and part of the original development team of the PAYDAY series. We’re very excited to hear their stories, and hope to see you there as well.

Join us either on Twitch, YouTube or our Steam Store page.

Hello heisters!

While we are sure a lot of you have seen them already, we want to give some spotlight for our PAYDAY 3 Dev Diaries series on YouTube. We've already released 5 episodes, covering topics like platforms, combat, art & animation, and we'll have several more topics to go through before the game releases on the 21st of September.

If you haven't already, make sure to visit our PAYDAY 3 Dev Diaries playlist on YouTube and click Save Playlist, to keep track of when we add new episodes!

In the fifth episode, we take a look at what makes our heists special. We’ll discuss how we go about designing and creating the heists and how they’ll differ between PAYDAY 2 and PAYDAY 3.

You read that right! The PAYDAY 3 Technical BETA is here!

This is a technical test, so we won’t have room for everyone. We want to test our servers and the game’s stability when full of actual heisters rather than just us scant few devs. We’ll be starting off with only 5000 people, and then inviting more as time progresses and our servers allow.

[h3]How do I get in?[/h3]
To sign up to the Steam BETA, just go to the PAYDAY 3 store page using the link below and click the green button that says “request access”.

There’s not much you can do to increase your chances of getting let in, someone with no pre-order has the same chance as someone with the Gold Edition.

[h3]Where can I find more information on the BETA?[/h3]
We put together a short BETA FAQ, you can find it on Steam, our website or via the player support page.
