It's Steam awards season again!

The holidays are fast approaching and it's time for sharing, caring and the all-mighty Steam Awards. We've been nominated for a few Steam Awards over the years and we'd like your help to hopefully win one this year. Therefore we're asking for your vote, in the Labour of Love category for PAYDAY 2.

It has been a labour of love on our part, from not being in active production to changing the way PAYDAY told its stories and adding new, much-requested, customization options, we've done our best to deliver something we hope our community will love.

Keep those helmets flying!

Been itching to find out what happens in the Silk Road chapter? Or maybe you want to experience the trials and tribulations of Vlad from the City of Gold chapter?
Now's the chance! PAYDAY 2 is on sale with up to 83%discount! Starting today November 24th and running until [December 1st].


In continuation of our collaboration with Deep Silver, a fantastic Dallas Mask has been added to Saints Row: The Third Remastered. The mask is available to all saints who also own PAYDAY 2 on Steam. To celebrate this we are reactivating the Criminal Ambition Bundle where you can pick up both games for a discount. And remember that all owners of both games will also get the “Shady Business” mask and “Saints & Sinners” suit in PAYDAY 2.

We got a new release for you all about cosmetics. We are bringing you updates to Infamy, not only the rewards for Infamy rank 100. Some of the lower ranks are also getting a few extra goodies to unlock. And a new addition is also dropping into the game, Starbreeze Account, with some interesting new cosmetic unlocks.

Check them out below.


We are releasing the long-awaited Infamy 100 rewards, a full heisting set up for those that are mad enough to take on this incredible feat of crime. These are the ones that are worthy of this full set of absolute terror to every cop around.

Strap into the “Boardroom Havoc” suit with the “Vile Carny” mask to cover your face. Hang the “Red Drop” weapon charm from your gun painted in the “Chromatic Break” weapon color. And finish the look with the “Digital Pistons” gloves, now you are ready for whatever heat is around the corner.

As you make your way to Infamy rank 100 there are also new rewards to unlock on your path up the ranks. Three weapon charms “Handy Blunderbuss”, “Ben’s Toast”, and “Ancient Peak” have been added to the ranks 44, 54, and 64 respectively. There are also four weapon colors “Dead Rust”, “Splintered”, “Liquid Geode”, and “Line Phased” which have been added to ranks 33, 43, 53, and 63 respectively. If you already passed the associated levels you have access to the rewards right away.
