Now you've got digital downloads that the publisher can revoke at any time, regardless of your cash purchase, and Game Pass titles you can play so long as you keep paying Microsoft your monthly dues. I didn't have Payday 2 launching a subscription service on my 2025 bingo card but, judging the state of the industry, maybe I should have.

PAYDAY 2: 240.7 hotfix

Hello Heisters!

A quick follow-up after yesterday's patch with the most discussed issues.

Size: 4.69MB

[h3]Fixes[/h3]
  • Fixed some items being missing for players who should have them.
  • The piano in the safehouse will now be available even without its room upgrade.


Updates may be incompatible with the mods you may have installed. Even seemingly unrelated mods may cause unexpected issues. If you are experiencing any problems with the game; try removing any mods you may have installed and try again.

If you are having issues with an unmodded game, you can try to verify the integrity of the game files. In the Steam library; right-click on PAYDAY 2. Select "Properties" from the menu. Under the tab "LOCAL FILES" select "VERIFY INTEGRITY OF GAME FILES...".
The process may take some time to finish.
