PAYDAY 3 is a 1-to-4 player co-op FPS and the ultimate heist fantasy, set in the most iconic city in the world. Gone without a trace or through a hail of bullets. Either way, you're getting out with the prize.
Not just any city, it's the city. From the financial fortresses of Wall Street to Manhattan penthouses and the streets in between. The city that never sleeps, a playground for the perfect crime.
One moment, a part of the crowd; the next, you are infamous. Build your own heister with custom looks, loadout, and skills, and step into the world's most recognizable crew.
The plan is only perfect until it isn't. The job doesn't end when the alarm sounds; it just gets louder. Cops, SWAT, and Special Units converge to shut you down, and your crew has to fight its way out with the loot.
Coordinate everything with a tight crew, find one along the way. Every role matters when the law pushes back, and a crew that holds its nerve under pressure is the difference between a clean getaway and a very bad day.
Games with the most comparable recorded change in players, and where available Steam reviews and Twitch viewers. This is a data similarity, not a recommendation or an explanation of cause.

Read full update on Steam ↗The Peer-to-Peer update for PAYDAY 3 is now live!What’s new?Peer-to-Peer allows you to host the game yourself without having to wait for a dedicated server. This should improve your overall gameplay experience.What is Peer-to-Peer?Essentially, when you host a game, you act as the server. Anyone who connects to your game joins as a client.What does this mean for your friends?Not much, except they may load in faster, since they’re no longer connecting to a dedicated server that takes time to load.What if you’re playing solo?You’ll be able to jump in much faster. Start your game and begin heisting quicker than before.P.S. If you’re already in-game when the update goes live, you might encounter some UI issues. If that happens, simply restart your game.

Read full update on Steam ↗Hello Heisters!This update makes more meaningful changes to the game, adds damage numbers, and introduces the first version of the Contract system.We have several goals in mind for the Contracts going forward. When we began development, the system started as a new way to convey narrative, tying together heists or objectives, adding text or VO before or after each heist, and then providing a reward at the end.In its current iteration, the Contracts offer four missions, a brief explanation of the premise, and provide a reward at the end. While it’s still early, we want your feedback on the Contracts. Peer-to-peer is included in this build. The game isn’t switching fully just yet; instead, we’re going to announce and run limited tests to ensure quality. Once we’ve confirmed there are no major issues, we’ll flip the switch, taking the game off dedicated servers and on to peer-to-peer.If y...

A lot of you chose to participate, so let’s have a look at what we’ve learned.In summary, we’re thrilled with the results, but see the need to make some improvements before we completely transition to peer-to-peer. Let’s look at the results together!StatisticsWe had mostly positive feedback across the board. Let’s look at the graphs! This is a high priority for us, and you. So having only 9.1% reporting worse ping is a great starting point. We’ll do what we can to ensure these instances are as few as possible.This one is also great. We want there to be as much green or yellow on this one as possible.Also great, while this one is hard to measure anecdotally and over a weekend, these responses give us confidence that there are no major issues.That...

Read full update on Steam ↗Hello heisters!We’ve done work on the skills since last time and thought you might be interested in an update.The new skills are tagged, and the point costs are now defined and added to the tables below.This is likely close to the version we release. We fully expect to have to make adjustments following release, however, so don’t despair. In fact, we’d like to get a feel for what you think already with this fancy form!Once the new skill system is released, we’ll review your feedback in our public channels and, when we determine what to ask, create another form.With this new system, higher tiers are only unlocked once a certain number of skills within the category have been selected.

Read full update on Steam ↗Hey heisters!Summer is winding down, devs are back in their chairs where they belong. We’re in full swing planning, plotting and producing to give the heisting community all the good things they deserve. The next heist is almost upon us! Delivery Charge will be released early September, and things are looking good. The price is aimed at $7.99 (recommended sales price, so pricing may vary per region), well worth it from our perspective – but let’s see what makes it so special.Delivery Charge takes place in a dockside armored transport depot owned and operated by our old frenemies at GenSec — having recently received a major investment by the mob to protect their money from the relentless assault of the Payday Gang. That right there is reason enough to get excited. But the heist also has a ton of options for how to play it, there are multiple points of entry, great randomization and a b...

Read full update on Steam ↗We want to be transparent with you. In the past days of testing for the June 18th update we've encountered a bug which could mess with the Infamy progression for a limited group of players. That's not something we take lightly, and we need more time. This means that there won't be an update today, June 18th. We'll update you as soon as we know more. Game development is a fickle beast, so we hope that you can bear with us as we find a resolution, which will ensure that no one has to have all of their hours and progression into the game wiped.
Read full update on Steam ↗The year was 2023, PAYDAY 3 had just been released, and we had a problem. Several problems, but let’s focus on the one we’re here to talk about, onboarding. Onboarding refers to new player experience in PAYDAY, or how likely a new player is to understand, enjoy, and stick with the game. It’s been on our to-do for the longest time, and it’s been a priority, but one that we’ve unfortunately had to keep delaying for other, higher priorities. Let’s let you guys into the conversation by sharing some of our thoughts—airing out what we think are the core issues we need to resolve in order for PAYDAY 3 to become as popular with the public as it is to our hardcore fans. ComplexityPAYDAY is complex by its very nature. A heist is an intricate series of actions and events that should lead to the heister running away giggling with a dollar-signed burlap sack over their shoulder. For our veteran pl...

Read full update on Steam ↗Originally released in September 2023, there have been plenty of occasions during the last 18 months when it looked like Payday 3 was finished for good. Steep declines in the Steam player count, some middling user reviews, and a couple of misfire updates have all suggested a premature end for Starbreeze's struggling FPS sequel. But Payday 3 fights on. The new update and Party Powder DLC have sent the game's player numbers sharply upward. There's a new heist, a new weapon, and a total transformation of the controversial armor system. GTA 6 might be on the way and realistic shooters like Escape From Tarkov and Delta Force may rule PC right now, but perhaps Payday 3 still has a chance. Read the rest of the story...

Read full update on Steam ↗Howdy doddle heisterinos! We’re trying a new intro, don’t judge. We hope you’ve been well, we certainly have. Between making levels, fixing bugs and all that jazz, we’re preparing for self-publishing the best we can, trying to figure out what needs to be prioritized. Meanwhile summer is making itself known outside, other people seem to like that. We’re indoor devs though, so it’s just glare on the screens. Today’s blog is all about the upcoming heist, Party Powder. We asked level owner Emil Andersson a couple of questions about his experience from its development and he delivered in style! Also, we’ll show the original key art image that got nerfed due to inappropriate content in the logo and on the floor. Looking back, we can see where they’re coming from, but we still get to share it here at least. https://www.paydaythegame.com/ovk-media/2025/05/pd3-pp-orig.jpg Design Process & Crea...
Read full update on Steam ↗Good day heisters! Are you ready for a surprise bonus blog? You better be, cuz you’re getting one! The upcoming update has something we can call a “bonus feature” that one of our coders took it upon himself to create out of nothing more than stubbornness and the kindness of his heart. What is this bonus feature you ask? Well, OVERKILL weapons will no longer plop down listlessly on a random street in full view of overeager snipers and cloakers. Instead they get delivered right to your feet, like a dog in old movies delivering the morning newspaper. Good drone. This absolute beast of a dev had to blaze new trails in order to get this feature done, increasing his own skillset while delivering cool features to the hungry PAYDAY audience (things are getting hot in the kitchen with all the things you want us to cook). So we asked Suat, that’s his name by the way, Suat Kucukgol—nope, we can’...

Read full update on Steam ↗I've got nothing but respect for the effort Starbreeze continues to put into Payday 3. At the tail end of 2023, all seemed lost for the sequel, especially when compared to the ongoing success of Payday 2, but that's slowly been turning around. Starbreeze has spent this year chipping away at some of the shooter's most severe problems while adding fresh content to keep players coming back. Now, Payday 3 is returning to 2011 with a new version of the first game's initial heist, and it's free for all players. Read the rest of the story...

Read full update on Steam ↗While it's always frustrating when a promising game releases in a less-than-ideal state, I do enjoy seeing one go through a solid redemption arc. Payday 3 is definitely one of those games. It's been steadily honing the co-op FPS into an experience that better captures the magic of its still-popular predecessor, and now that it's pushed live its massive anniversary update full of essential new features and improvements, it's finally starting to look like the experience it should've been from the get-go.

Read full update on Steam ↗Payday 2 was such a gigantic success, the sequel was always going to suffer by comparison. In the sophomore entry, Starbreeze got it everything right - Payday 2 was precisely what fans of the original heist FPS wanted, and over a decade of incremental updates, community sentiment only became more glowing. Payday 3, as Starbreeze told us directly, was a disaster at launch. But more than a year down the road, and with recent Steam reviews now 'mostly positive' on aggregate, the opportunity for redemption is bigger than ever. Enter the latest Payday 3 update. Marking the shooter's anniversary, it fixes some of the most severe problems players have encountered so far and adds features like server browsing, cross-platform voice chat, and a reimagined interface.
