Payday 3 Devs Address Offline Mode Concerns and Server Issues

Payday 3, developed by Starbreeze, has faced severe online issues since its launch, leading to a negative user review rating. In response to player complaints, the developer is considering adding an offline mode. Starbreeze blames its third-party matchmaking partner for the matchmaking infrastructure's failure to handle the influx of players. The company is evaluating short- and long-term solutions, including finding a new partner for matchmaking services and reducing the game's dependence on online services. Payday 3 has been taken offline temporarily to improve server and matchmaking stability.
