Imagine it or not, it’s been nearly a 12 months since Payday 3 got here out. The sport has gone via correct turmoil in these twelve months, and Starbreeze goals to have a good time that it’s lastly on the suitable path with an enormous QoL replace, the spotlight of which is the server browser.
Half 2 of Payday 3‘s huge anniversary replace is now slated to hit the sport on October 30, and it’ll embrace a complete host of enhancements, such because the aforementioned server browser. Whereas this isn’t even remotely as flashy of an addition as Half 1’s new heister, minigun, and various cosmetics, it’s much more necessary for the long-term well being of the sport and an indication of issues to return.
Payday 3 celebrates its first anniversary with a server browser, cross-platform VoIP, UI enhancements, and extra
Payday 3‘s October 30 replace is a celebration of kinds over how the sport is now headed by Starbreeze’s Almir Listo and Andreas Penninger. Principally, it focuses on essential quality-of-life enhancements, however it additionally units the stage for a revamped and reworked 12 months 2 of Payday 3.

Those that haven’t saved up with Payday 3 over the previous 12 months could also be excited about trying into the particular 12 months 1 version of the sport. As its title betrays, it contains nearly the entire premium content material launched for the sport over the previous 12 months, together with the bottom recreation, 4 main DLC bundles, and some minor extras. First rate worth all in all, although I received’t blame you should you’re nonetheless on the fence about this complete enterprise.
Payday 3 is, in spite of everything, but to show that it’s bought the mojo its speedy predecessor had. From my viewpoint, the brand new title enjoys superior baseline gameplay. It has higher potential for long-term growth, however the questionable selections made earlier than its launch and as a part of 12 months 1’s re-christening of the sport are nonetheless a tad contemporary. If all goes effectively with Half 2 of the sport’s first anniversary replace, although, Starbreeze may have firmly stepped onto the suitable observe.
