Payday 3 Devs Address Matchmaking, Pranks, and Online Dependency

Payday 3, the popular bank-robbing multiplayer shooter, has been plagued with matchmaking issues, bugs, crashes, and server disconnects since its launch. Starbreeze Studios, the game's developer, attributes the problems to an unforeseen error and a faulty update by a third-party online services partner. The studio is working on short- and long-term fixes, including making the game "less dependent on online services." Players have been requesting an offline mode, but it remains uncertain if that will be implemented. Payday 3 currently has a "mostly negative" rating on Steam.

"Payday 3: Refined Heists and John Wick Crossover?"

Payday 3, set to release on September 21, 2023, is largely a continuation of Payday 2, but with important refinements to keep the game enjoyable for existing and new players alike. The game has shifted over to Unreal Engine 4, which the studio views as an easier platform to continue building on. Payday 3 no longer has the binary stealth fail states that Payday 2 did, and introduces a new ‘negotiation’ phase that sits before the impending Heat–like sieges and firefights the series is infamous for. The game will have 18 months of post-launch content planned, with new characters, heists, and weapons on the table.
