Hello heisters, we hope you're having a wonderful week - and if you're not, we have some cool news for you to dig into when it comes to Payday 3! This is the much anticipated sequel to one of the most popular co-op shooters ever. Since its release, Payday-players have been reveling in the thrill of a perfectly planned and executed heist. That's what makes Payday a high-octane, co-op FPS experience without equal.

Post Launch Plans
We're nearing the launch date on September 21 (Early Access on September 18), but today we wanted to give you a glimpse of what's to come for Year One of Payday 3 and its future content. Besides 4 DLCs, with names yet to be fully determined, we'll also look at seasonal events, playable characters, new enemy, weapons, Unreal Engine 5 upgrade, cosmetics, quality of life improvements, new features and much more. Let us know in the comments which part you're the most excited for!




Pearl & Joy Trailer
Last week you got a first look at the two additional playable characters in PAYDAY 3, Pearl & Joy. Today we're giving you a first-hand look at how they will play and look like. Have at it!

Listen up gang, we have two additions joining in on your next heists. Joy makes a return to PAYDAY as the groups' hacker, while Pearl brings a new flair of magnificence to the team. Play as either of these heisters at the launch of PAYDAY 3 on September 21.

Payday 1 was amazing and unique.
Payday 2 was great but man did it get hammered with mediocre updates to the point where it alienated me completely.

The problem with this version for me is that it barely looks like anything has been improved, it looks like a game from 15 years ago in just about every single way.

And, but I guess thats a me problem, I loved in payday 2 to be the profesional, stake out the place and sneak, get the loot and leave without a single bullet, that was the art, that was the challenge.

But I guess most want to just shoot like soooo many other games allow you to do....just the focus on the combat in these trailers has me worried for what I want this game to be.

I'll buy the 'Season's Pass' i.e., I'll pass on it for an entire season.

My guess is that they studied the current PC gamers and found out that going low specs on graphics is the best approach to get as many players as they can and that is a better approach than going high specs.

Shaping up to be another Paymeum PC gaming experience.

I played a lot of missions on Payday2 including in Lan mode with my friends. But I have since taken a stance that I will no longer give any of my precious time to broken monetizing scheme games.

Hard pass.

They are showing two seasons pass'es there :| or what they called it, season pass 1 year (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1272080/PAYDAY_3/)

It didn't run exceptionally well in the beta they had a while back, looked pretty much like PD2 but with Unreal Engine's light

Well, PAYDAY 3 got improved visuals. But they are aiming to keep the game playable for everyone, kinda like CS:GO. Which is also the reason why they're selling PAYDAY 2 regularly for 1 buck. DLC is their cashmaker, like CS:GO's cashmaker is DLC skins.

PAYDAY 3's biggest changes compared to the previous titles is actually the combat system & general mechanics. A lot more to think about ingame.
