The first Payday game was released in 2011, and the sequel followed just two years later. Due to financial struggles, players have had to wait for the third installment much longer. Fortunately, Payday 3 is finally in sight, and we’re learning more and more details about the game.
Release date
The exact premiere date hasn’t been announced yet, but Starbreeze Studios plans to release Payday 3 in 2023. Payday 2 came out on August 13, 2013. We believe that releasing the third installment on the same day in 2023 would be the perfect way to celebrate its 10th anniversary. The game will be available on PC as well as Sony and Microsoft consoles. According to the developer’s representative, all versions of Payday 3 will be exactly the same.
Gameplay
The first two installments in the Payday series are cooperative first-person shooters, and the new game won’t shake up this core gameplay. Therefore, Payday 3 will let players participate in a wide variety of heists. In its predecessors, for example, we rob banks, fix an election, and protect precious cargo. Some missions require stealth techniques and surgical precision, while others allow a more Ramboish approach.
We expect the third entry in the trilogy to offer similar heists. However, Payday 3 will also add some new features stemming from the nature of modern-day crimes. As a result, you can use gadgets related to the mysterious Dark Net or cryptocurrencies. You can join forces with other players or use the help of AI-controlled partners in crime.

The story
The events of Payday 3 are set a few years after the finale of Payday 2. What’s important is that the original gang from Payday: The Heist returns in the new game. As of now, it remains unknown what has forced Dallas, Chains, Hoxton, and Wolf to quit their quiet lives and put on their masks again. We only know that this time the crew that spread terror in Washington DC back in the day, this time will carry out most of their heists in New York.
