PAYDAY 3: Dev Update 10

Starbreeze Entertainment and RyseUp Studios are thrilled to announce “The Endless Update”, a feature-packed release that expands on the game’s dynamic gameplay with new modes, mechanics and intense challenges. And in the first half of 2025, the hit indie game is set to launch on <a href="https://store.playstation.com/concept/10010255">PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5</a>!
In celebration of Roboquest’s milestone anniversary, The Endless Update brings highly anticipated features to enhance gameplay and increase replayability. Here’s what’s in store:
Save &amp; Resume Feature for Single-Player Mode With The Endless Update, single-player fans can now take advantage of a Save &amp; Resume feature. Players reaching the end of a level can choose “Save and Quit” to save their progress and exit to the main menu. When they’re ready to jump back in, they simply click “Continue” to resume the run. Players choosing “Basecamp” instead of “Continue” will erase their saved progress, so caution is advised.
Endless Mode: Infinite Challenges Await The all-new Endless Mode unlocks a thrilling new way to play Roboquest. Players can access this feature by purchasing a machine at the Basecamp for 100 Wrenches or by completing the game on Guardian 1 Difficulty or higher. Endless Mode offers a never-ending series of levels that grow harder as players advance, with levels designed to be shorter and action-packed for a pulse-pounding experience.
Mutators: Singularities and Glitches In Endless Mode, each level completed adds either a Singularity (major modifier) or a Glitch (minor modifier) to the current run. These mutators adjust gameplay difficulty and bring a fresh layer of unpredictability, forcing players to adapt as they face new and unique challenges with each level.
New Duo-Boss Battles Adding an extra layer of difficulty, Endless Mode introduces new Duo-Boss encounters. Every three levels, players will face two bosses at once from a rotating pool of Duo-Bosses. These enemies have adapted attack patterns unique to Endless Mode, bringing a high-stakes challenge that will keep players on their toes as they fight to progress.
Coming to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 in 2025 In addition to this update, we’re excited to announce that Roboquest will soon be available on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 in the first half of 2025, inviting even more players to experience the high-speed, roguelite action that’s captivated fans worldwide.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Welcome to part two of &#8220;Meet the Crew&#8221;! The focus of the second instalment is Oliver Zielinski, Technical Designer working (among other things!) on how to make weapons go even more &#8220;brrr&#8221; and &#8220;pew pew&#8221; in PAYDAY™ 3!</h2>



When did you join Starbreeze and what do you work with? I joined Starbreeze as a ‘Technical Designer’ in August of 2023, just before the fun started. So far I’ve worked on implementing and balancing weapons, as well as designing new systems around the heisters’ arsenal.



	Quote – hello from a dynamic block!



	Image Text – hello from a dynamic block!



What do you work on? I’m basically involved with all things “weapons” – from inception and implementation to bug fixing and balancing. With the time left over, I’m looking into all sorts of new heisting gadgets and mechanics as well as making a fool of myself in our Dev Update-videos. 



What do you need to think about when designing a new weapon? We try our best to identify and fill niches in the gameplay that we haven’t explored before. If possible, we also try to find some sort of theme to base a weapon pack around (i.e. ”police station”, “burst fire”, etc.). Resources and technical limitations must be considered, so not all ideas have come to fruition (yet…👀) Besides that though, we have all the creative freedom we need to bring you the newest, coolest, most badass additions to your arsenal, that we can! 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="700" height="395" src="https://starbreeze.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/image-8-700x395.png" alt="" class="wp-image-21384" srcset="https://starbreeze.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/image-8-700x395.png 700w, https://starbreeze.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/image-8-250x141.png 250w, https://starbreeze.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/image-8-768x433.png 768w, https://starbreeze.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/image-8-120x68.png 120w, https://starbreeze.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/image-8.png 1284w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">The venerable &#8216;Blyspruta MX63&#8217;</figcaption></figure>



	Quote – hello from a dynamic block!



What hoops do you need to get through to get it into the game? Through internal playtests and our in-house Quality Assurance team, we take new guns for a spin on the latest heists and do our best to break them and find exploits. Once all the major bugs are fixed, values are adjusted, and everything works as intended – we’re ready to release it. …until players inevitably find numerous new ways of making it OP that we didn’t think to test. And the cycle of rebalance and bug fixing continues, just like Mother Nature intended.



	Featured Video – hello from a dynamic block!



What else are you working on right now? A plethora of cool new things for PAYDAY 3! Besides the obvious (new weapons!) I’m also looking into reworking and/or expanding some base game systems. There’s also unhinged – I mean totally serious – new Dev Update videos and everything in between to elevate players’ PAYDAY-experience even further!

Meet the Crew: Part 02 – Making things that go “brrrr” & “pew pew”

Starbreeze Entertainment is proud to announce that PAYDAY 3 has been awarded  the highest prize, ‘Grand Winner’ in the categories ‘Game Video’ for <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BMGCoD6lPw">‘Follow the Money</a>’, and ‘Game Strategic Campaign’ for ‘<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8jn8Nw1WeY">Do Time to get Time</a>’ at the 2024 NYX Game Awards.
“We are lucky to be working on a title that allows us to make such fun, and engaging content. I’m very happy that the creative efforts and hard work of the team is being recognised by NYX Game Awards.”, says Oscar Wickman, Creative Director of Starbreeze Entertainment.
About the Game Video ‘Follow the Money’ The video’s objective is to enhance the heist fantasy in a cinematic Hollywood style. The more serious tone of the cinematography reflects the more grown-up and serious tone of the new installment of the franchise. Building the lore and adding to the universe is crucial in order to create a deep connection to the franchise and maintain the PAYDAY legacy.
In this live-action representation of what the players experience in gameplay, we focus on greed and how the pursuit of every bill can jeopardize the entire heist.
We follow our four core heisters in a daring coup to rob a bank. As the well-planned heist seems to go without hiccups, they get interrupted by a SWAT team. With furious action, our anti-heroes must fight their way out, their greed not allowing them to leave any loot behind.
About the Strategic Campaign ‘Do Time to get Time’ The Do Time To Get Time competition was designed to reflect the foundation and objectives of the PAYDAY 3 narrative: overcoming a difficult challenge as a team, and getting a reward worth the efforts. The competition aimed to excite fans about the upcoming PAYDAY 3 while offering them an immersive and challenging experience tied to the game’s theme of high-stake heists, with a core pillar: collaboration. We encouraged all PAYDAY 2 players to apply to get a chance of experiencing PAYDAY 3 first, if he or she was worthy enough, based on their statistics and application video. One winner was selected based on just that, and put behind bars. Together with 3 other pre-selected influencers, they all had to work together to complete a PAYDAY 3 challenge, in order to unlock the full version of the game. If they failed, they got sent back to their cells. Essentially, offering players a chance to prove themselves worthy of experiencing PAYDAY 3 first, while at the same time paying for their crimes from PAYDAY 2: by putting them in prison. So they could do the time, to earn the time.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Welcome to &#8220;Meet the Crew&#8221;, the first instalment in an ongoing series that aims to shine the light on some of the people that make up the Starbreeze Crew! Today&#8217;s talk is with Martin Waern, Lead Gameplay Programmer and manger of the PAYDAY™ 3 gameplay team!</h2>



When did you join Starbreeze and what do you work with? I joined Starbreeze in 2010. I was part of of Overkill, the original creators of the PAYDAY franchise, that merged into Starbreeze. I’m currently the Lead Gameplay Programmer (GPP in short) and manager of the PAYDAY 3 gameplay team

What motivated you to stay with the same company for 14 years? Great question. I think that over time no company will ever stay the same, so there’s always something new. It means that there will be both&nbsp;good times and hard times&nbsp;but also always something new to learn, obstacles to master as well as opportunities to grow. I like to stick through tough times and be there when it’s time to build the foundation for the good times.



	Image Text – hello from a dynamic block!



What advice would you give someone starting out as a gameplay programmer? Play games and be curious about what makes them tick! What features&nbsp;resonate&nbsp;with you as a player? Then start testing your ideas. There are many good engines to program in that are free to use. And on that note –&nbsp;get&nbsp;into programming! Any programming language is good to start with, but eventually you’ll want to master C++ or C#. Both&nbsp;are&nbsp;popular among the bigger game engines and are usually a requirement to get hired.



How many times have you been featured in a Starbreeze game?&nbsp; I think I’ve been featured, in-game, twice. In &#8216;PAYDAY: The Heist’ and in ‘PAYDAY 2’ I play the character “Bobblehead Bob”. We look alike, but that’s all we have in common. I’m not in PAYDAY 3&nbsp;yet, but I featured in the ‘Houston Breakout’-trailer as a TV newscaster for our tie-in news conglomerate “The Gateway Report”!

What’s your favorite game ever, and why? The Sid Meier’s ‘Civilization’-series. I’ve played all of them, all the way back to the original&nbsp;(Ed’s Note: launched in 1991).&nbsp;I have an unhealthy number of hours spent with Civilization VI. I think it is because every playthrough is different; each civilization plays in a unique way and the map generation always keeps things fresh and interesting to&nbsp;explore!

As the company’s longest tenured employee, there are quite a few emojis on the internal Slack of you?&nbsp; Ouff, yeah. I think there might be five of them? I’m not sure, but I’m most proud of the “:wise-man:” one.

In this beta, the sections of the game previously hosted on PAYDAY servers are now hosted on players&#8217; devices.

This is the first step to support a full offline option in the future.
In PAYDAY 3: Chapter 2 – Boys in Blue, the Gang continues to unravel the web of betrayal surrounding former Murkywater CEO John Concord. The gang is tasked with enacting revenge on behalf of their old friend Vlad, breaking into a secure holding facility of the NYPD. In return, they’ll get a piece of the loot and access to private correspondence between a corrupt police captain and Concord.

PAYDAY™ 3: “Chapter II: Boys in Blue” Out Now

PAYDAY 3: Dev Update 06

Continuing from its 1.0 release in May 2024, the strategy and base-builder game ’The Tribe Must Survive’ today released a new patch that includes a new community requested game mode that allows for a more casual experience as well as 15 new achievements designed to challenge the core community to tackle “Impossible Strategies”.
Exploring a Lovecraftian Stone Age &#8211; at your own pace The Tribe Must Survive divides its gameplay into two modes: Survival Mode and Explorer Mode. Survival Mode remains the core experience, featuring all five Disasters, inner conflicts and other challenging modifiers. The new Explorer Mode provides a relaxed gameplay experience with no Disasters or Inner Conflicts, allowing players to delve into the game&#8217;s core mechanics at their own pace. This mode, with a Tribe Population cap of 300, offers reduced XP gain and does not support Achievements, yet still requires strategic decision-making to ensure the Tribe thrives.
Master the Impossible In addition to the Explorer mode, a new array of achievements have been added to the game’s Survival Mode. The 15 completely new achievements are inspired by what the community has named the “Impossible Strategies”, ways of completing a play session that require extreme skill, knowledge and a pinch of luck to pull off.
In addition, the update includes a number of minor features, Quality of Life improvements, and general fixes.
The Tribe Must Survive There’s no single way to survive, and each run will have different advantages and troubles for the player to solve driven by the Tribe Members&#8217; behaviors. The game is made to be a challenge, though each failure only serves to bring players closer to the next success.

PAYDAY™ 3 launches “Operation Medic Bag” with comprehensive roadmap of upcoming improvements

Today marks a significant milestone for developer Walking Tree Games GmbH and publisher Starbreeze Entertainment as they announce the Early Access launch of &#8220;The Tribe Must Survive” on Steam. Prepare for the start of an immersive journey as the game makes its debut on February 22nd. Combining the strategic depth of tribe building with the thrill of survival and rogue-like elements, this Lovecraftian stone age adventure is set to challenge gamers worldwide.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" alt="" height="332" src="https://mb.cision.com/Public/14632/3910925/aed4c14389e99c81_800x800ar.png" width="592">
In &#8220;The Tribe Must Survive,&#8221; players are transported to a mystical Stone Age world where survival is not only a test of skill but a journey into the unknown. Developer Walking Tree Games GmbH and publisher Starbreeze Entertainment have meticulously crafted an experience that seamlessly blends strategy, survival, and the eerie allure of Lovecraftian horror. The game will be launched in Early Access on Steam® on February 22nd, retailing for $19.99, and is available to be wishlisted today!
Why Early Access?
The Tribe Must Survive will spend its first three months in early access, and this time will be used to fine-tune the game balance as well as act on community feedback received during that period. This will lead to the best possible version of the game in Q2, along with some additional planned content.
The Importance of Community:
Starbreeze “build community by making games” &#8211; and for The Tribe Must Survive this is a key driver of the Early Access period. Building a strong community will serve as a superpower for content creation, game direction, creating the right atmosphere, and building a tribe around the game to support the full release.
Early Access is more than just a phase for &#8220;The Tribe Must Survive”. The aim is to foster a collaborative partnership between players and the developers at Walking Tree Games that continues beyond the full release. With the valuable feedback from the community on gameplay mechanics and balance, as well as other improvements, this will contribute to the best possible version of the game for its final release &#8211; which is the top priority!
The Tribe Must Survive 
There’s no single way to survive, and each tribe will have different advantages and troubles for the player to solve driven by the tribe members&#8217; behaviors. The game is made to be a challenge, though each failure only serves to bring you closer to the next success.

Chapter 1 &#8211; Syntax Error, the first DLC Expansion for the ultimate heist shooter fantasy, is out now on all available platforms. Players will unravel a web of conspiracies in a high-tech heist with the suspenseful atmosphere the series is known for. Watch the trailer for Syntax Error <a href="https://t.paydaythegame.com/c/1ofj6h">here</a>!
Syntax Error unfolds a high-tech heist with the suspenseful atmosphere the series is known for. The PAYDAY Gang needs to prevail against an enemy AI called “SINS”, wittily setting traps and causing confusion. Every move counts because the ultimate computing power is always one step ahead.
DLC overview Syntax Error is now accessible to Season Pass owners and available to buy separately on PC, Xbox Series S|X and PlayStation 5. The DLC consists of:
●        The Heist Pack: with PAYDAY 3: Chapter 1 &#8211; Syntax Error

In PAYDAY 3: Chapter 1 &#8211; Syntax Error, the Gang is thrust back into action following a mysterious conspiracy, just to unravel a bigger web of betrayal spinning around John Concord, the former CEO of Murkywater. Players will execute high-tech heists and ultimately face a hidden enemy empowered by an AI called “SINS”. They have to leverage the art of heisting to execute their revenge on the CEO of Scry Digital, the guy that tried to kill the Gang. As they enter the building, the heist intensifies and they expose a cutting-edge drone system. These remote-controlled objects provide intel about John Concord’s scheme.

PAYDAY 3: Dev Update 01

Developer RyseUp Studios and publisher Starbreeze Entertainment today announce that Roboquest (<a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/692890/Roboquest/" rel="nofollow">https://store.steampowered.com/app/692890/Roboquest/</a>) version 1.0 is now live and available on Steam®, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox Game Pass and Epic Games Store, retailing at $24.99. Cross-platform is enabled across all platforms.
During its 3 year run in Early Access, Roboquest has managed to maintain a 94 percent positive rating and recently reached an overwhelmingly positive rating of 98 percent on Steam – just in time for release! Roboquest is releasing with a celebratory launch discount and there’s even a demo available on Steam so players can test out the game for themselves.
Roboquest is a lightning-fast FPS with roguelite mechanics, playable in single-player or two-player co-op, so players can team up with a brobot and take down enemies together. With an array of handcrafted weapons and unique upgrades, players will have to find powerful synergies to remain a relevant and powerful guardian throughout their runs. Unlock powerful technology to help player’s blaze through canyons, energy factories and sci-fi cities. Customize your character and playstyle as you get further into the run and upgrade your base to unlock permanent upgrades.
The Roboquest launch version will include:
●          Slick Controls &amp; Polished Game Feel
●          Classes – up to 6 different classes with unique abilities and upgrades, slash up, dash in, rocketing, stealth in, drone up and more
●          Diverse Arsenal – over 70 unique weapons ranging from your regular rifles and snipers to crossbows, bolters, gauntlets and much more for players to use as they blast their way through hordes of killer robots!
●          Difficulty Levels &#8211; Levels of difficulty for everyone, even people not accustomed to FPS games. Ranging from “Discovery” to “Hard” and then way harder difficulty levels that you can unlock while playing the game
●          Specialize your Gameplay &#8211; In-run upgrades to further customize your playstyle and find unique and powerful combinations
●          Pesky Evilbots – over 70 enemies to dismantle and 10 big bad bosses guarding the way
●          Quests and Secrets &#8211; Diversify your run objectives by exploring the levels and finding friendly robots and hidden secrets to unlock new movement capabilities and other unique upgrades
●          Basecamp &#8211; Upgrade your basecamp and unlock permanent rewards to help you push further into the game each run
●          Levels &#8211; Over 15 different levels, each with a dedicated banger track and visuals, and some with unique twists to them
●          Comic-style Cinematics &#8211; Non gameplay-intrusive yet colorful and joyful cinematics to live your progression in the game and the story
●          Data-Logs &#8211; Scour the levels and find pieces of lore about the world of Roboquest
●          Achievements &#8211; Over 70 achievements
●          Collect Enemies &amp; Weapon cards &#8211; Takedown enemies and collect cards for both enemies and weapons to complete the in-game Museum
●          Banger Soundtrack &#8211; Crafted with passion and dedication from the music composer Noisecream, a complete banger of a soundtrack will accompany you in your Roboquest
How will Roboquest evolve after release? 
The game will continuously be updated. RyseUp Studios and Starbreeze Entertainment have plans, but no concrete roadmap to share yet… stay tuned!
The first major update is tentatively planned for early 2024 and will focus on major balance improvements depending on player feedback and data. The team will continue listening and supporting players just like in Early Access and will address some things asked for during EA that haven’t yet been added to the game yet, such as “Save during run” (that one is unlikely to make it into the January update though!).

Starbreeze will support Melbot Studios with funding for the game’s development, marketing, community management and release management.

Choose your God, unlock their powers and weapons, and venture solo or in teams into an edgy and irreverent new universe. It’s not all slaughter &amp; laughter though &#8211; show off your style and swag to earn the favor of the Gods… and your followers. Because in this show, real online viewers can impact the fate of the players. Are you ready to chase megastardom?
GodsTV is being developed by Melbot Studios, previously known for the Melbits™ IP and a seasoned team forged from both indie and AAA titles like Rise of the Tomb Raider, Fallout 4, Apex Legends, Evil Dead, Endling and Gris.
Starbreeze Entertainment will publish the game and support GodsTV and Melbot Studios with development funding, release management, marketing, community management, data management and analytics.
“Meeting the Melbot team is like being slapped by pure creative drive, and GodsTV is where their punk style and ambition really comes out to play. GodsTV is one of the strongest pitches I’ve ever seen, and I can’t wait to share this game with the world &#8211; it’s going to rock”, says Gustav Nisser, Head of Third Party Publishing,  Starbreeze Entertainment.
“Since we met the team at Starbreeze we felt we got something big, they identified what makes this game special and pushed us to be ambitious and bold and ridiculous. In a landscape where publishers are afraid to dare, Starbreeze double dared us to be ourselves, and that *bleep*ing matters. ”, Josema Roig, Co-founder of Melbot Studios.

PAYDAY 3 | Dev Diary | Episode 9: Game Launch

Yesterday,  PAYDAY 3 officially launched in global Early Access at 17.00 CEST. During its first 18 hours, close to 150,000 unique players (DAU) began planning and executing the perfect heists together with their friends.
Several hundreds of thousands of heists were performed in both Loud and Stealth by players, with “No Rest for the Wicked” in Loud being the most popular heist. In total, close to 150,000 unique players (DAU)  across Early Access platforms, excluding Playstation®5, played the game. Starbreeze Nebula currently stands at over 1.6 million registered users.
The Starbreeze Nebula website experienced a brief outage once initial traffic overwhelmed the server, an issue that was resolved within minutes. Several minor improvements for server performance and matchmaking were rolled out during the first day to ensure player experience. An issue persisted for Sony Playstation®5, which was resolved by Sony early Tuesday local time.
Starbreeze Entertainment looks forward to welcoming more heisters from around the world as the game launches officially on Thursday, September 21st, Day-1 on Xbox Game Pass, on Xbox Series X|S, Playstation®5, Epic Games Store, Steam® and GeForce NOW.

PAYDAY 3 | Dev Diary | Episode 8: Narrative & Sounds

Starbreeze Entertainment – in collaboration with Bam-Bam and Okar Style Suits – becomes the first game company ever to present in-game fashion physically at New York Fashion Week. The outfits, designed for heisters and showcased by Dallas and Pearl, were shown at New York’s premiere Fashion Week runway event at Runway 7, Times Square. The outfits will be made available as in-game cosmetics in PAYDAY 3 during  2024.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" alt="" height="395" src="https://mb.cision.com/Public/14632/3833780/aeecaf9234eb8485_800x800ar.jpeg" width="592">
The PAYDAY gang has always been a crew of bank robbers dressed to the teeth for mayhem. Each team member has their own iconic suit, look and feel, distinguishing them from each other while also reflecting their professional attitude to a life of crime. Since the first Tailor Pack DLC was introduced years ago, millions of players from around the world have dressed their characters in unique ways, showcasing their own personal styles. This project marks the first time external fashion designers have been tasked to bring their unique vision to the iconic characters.
“Individual expression as a means of immersion has been core to the PAYDAY-experience for more than a decade. This is the next step in bridging the digital and physical worlds and merging fantasy with reality. PAYDAY has always been on the forefront of genre-defying partnerships and we continue to explore collaborations that add value for our players, communities, cosplayers, partners and the PAYDAY-universe as a whole.”, says Petra Takeva, VP Franchise, Starbreeze Entertainment. 
“Our brand ethos is centered around creating opportunities for others and our designs are created with the intention of&nbsp; fostering self-expression and individuality. With PAYDAY I want players to feel they can fearlessly express themselves through these items, immersing them in the universe even further. There has always been a strong sense of theatricality to our designs, built on strong characters, individuality and the feeling of wearable art. This collaboration gives us those bold characters to build on, and an opportunity to expand our mission of ‘Fashion for The Good, The Bad and The Beautiful’ to millions of PAYDAY players around the world”, says Bam-Bam, the designer and founder of Bam-Bam.
With a focus on personal freedom and sustainability, Bam-Bam advocates for fun and a future where fashion serves as a medium for positive change.&nbsp;&nbsp; Bam-Bam’s aesthetic embodies a desire to revitalize spaces and surfaces with vivid patterns and designs.&nbsp;&nbsp; Bam-Bam’s designs, created from original hand-drawn illustrations, encourage individuals to fearlessly express themselves through fashion and the lens of self-expression and fantasy.&nbsp; Through Bam-Bam’s brand the wearer can become the character they want to be, which is why this transition to in-game fashion came so naturally.
Okar Style Suits&nbsp; is based on ideas of self expression, personality and individuality through the expression of wearing unique suits. “Nice to be nice” has become a known tagline for the brand. Okar Style suits originated from two contrasting fashion scenes of Stockholm and Bali, each with their own tendencies toward safe and conventional choices. Inspired by the tropical setting of Bali, the designs feature a spectrum of colors and patterns, whilst keeping the formal nature of suit wearing, adding color, spice and attitude to the aesthetic.

PAYDAY™ 3 is the ‘Best PC Game’ and ‘Most Entertaining Game’

Starbreeze Entertainment today releases a cinematic live action trailer for the highly anticipated PAYDAY 3, coming on September 21st, 2023. The high-octane trailer features musical compositions by the world-renowned Vienna Symphony and introduces American actor and rapper Ice-T to the PAYDAY-universe. The live action trailer leads into PAYDAY 3s presence at Gamescom 2023 in Cologne, Germany.
<a href="https://youtu.be/3BMGCoD6lPw">Watch the trailer here</a>
Ice-T comments on the collaboration: “As a fan of the game, joining the universe was a no-brainer. My knowledge of  both sides of the law – both personally and professionally – gives me a unique insight into what ’the art of heisting’ really means. I look forward to robbing more banks on September 21st, and to what this collaboration has in store for the future.”
Ice-T joins the ranks of actor luminaries who have appeared in the PAYDAY-franchise over the years, including Giancarlo Esposito, John Cleese, Bokeem Woodbine, Lance Reddick and Ron Perlman.
“We have a history of delivering action-packed cinematic trailers for our titles, and PAYDAY 3 is no exception. The story, action and gameplay elements of the PAYDAY IP lends itself to live-action in ways few others can match. The collaboration between our internal creative team, led by Oscar Wickman, and external partners, shows off the adrenaline-fueled world of PAYDAY like never before”, says Petra Takeva, VP Franchise, Starbreeze Entertainment.
Oscar Wickman, Creative Director, Starbreeze Entertainment, continues: “We follow one slippery stack of money and its journey from deposit to withdrawal. The core of the film is greed, and how it’s contagious not only to the PAYDAY-gang, but to everyone it touches. The collaboration between Starbreeze’ creative team, Thirsty Film and director Stefan Pflug has resulted in a film that I truly believe will be the fastest 5 minutes our viewers will ever experience.”
The high-paced trailer offers a glimpse into the adrenaline-fueled world of PAYDAY 3 – showcasing a meticulously designed heist, explosive action sequences and a highly immersive atmosphere. The game will be available Day-1 on Xbox Game Pass, on Xbox Series X|S, Playstation®5, Epic Games Store, Steam® and GeForce NOW. Pre-order PAYDAY 3 <a href="https://www.paydaythegame.com/">here</a>!

We know we’re in good hands now.”, says Milen Ivanov, Co-Founder &amp; CEO, RyseUp Studios. 
“Out of the hundreds of games that we have reviewed, Roboquest is a standout title. Its combination of nonstop action, tight movement and combat, replayability, and co-op gameplay makes it a perfect fit with our game pillars as well as the types of players we have most experience with. Importantly, RyseUp Studios have proven themselves &#8211; in talent, in passion, in continuously listening to their community, and in building a positive and healthy internal culture. We look forward to working with RyseUp to continue the development of Roboquest beyond 1.0 by giving the community more of what they love, and introducing new players to a great game.”, says Gustav Nisser, Head of Third-Party Publishing, Starbreeze Entertainment.
Starbreeze Entertainment will be publisher by name and support Roboquest and RyseUp Studios with its expertise in release management, marketing, community management, live service operations, continued development, and data management and analytics.
”Our strategy is to find and publish games that are not only great in and of themselves, but that fit with Starbreeze’ game cornerstones and the community that we have built over the past decade. Our strengths as a publisher, combined with a community connected through Starbreeze Nebula will enable us and our published games to reach new audiences and grow our community even wider.”, says Staffan Nyström, VP Publishing, Starbreeze Entertainment.

Keegan sends us to her company&#8217;s main office and tasks us to find dirt on her shady dealings. In addition, we’re tasked with stealing a green energy prototype, the loss of which will strike a critical blow to SERA Inc.
The choices are in your hands on how to tackle this heist. Completing different objectives in different order will create various effects around the heist, such as electrifying areas, causing walls to be blown up and much more. Play the heist and discover what you can make happen!
Hostile Takeover Bundle
Gun runner Gemma McShay invited us to Texas and directed the Gang to the Midland Ranch in order to find intel to use against her biggest rival, and get away with some powerful new weaponry.
While Gemma combed through the intel. We raided a train yard in order to liberate some valuable printing plates on their way to a mint facility. Completing the Lost in Transit finally gained us the trust of the man behind our Texas misadventures.

A new DLC and Bundle for PAYDAY 2™ – Street Smart Tailor Pack & Hostile Takeover Bundle

<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" alt="" height="312" src="https://mb.cision.com/Public/14632/3654942/a7e9b4861c9dfbef_800x800ar.png" width="624">
Starbreeze Studios and OVERKILL deliver the fourth and final DLC of the Lost in Transit bundle, the heist that gave the bundle its name, the Lost in Transit heist.
The Lost in Transit Bundle and the High Octane Tailor Pack were released on Steam July 13th, followed by the Tijuana Music Pack on August 31st and McShay Weapon Pack 2 released September 21st. The bundle is completed with the Lost in Transit Heist released, October 25th. 
&nbsp;
Lost in Transit Heist
Deep among the well guarded trains awaiting departure, there are many valuables lying hidden in the traincar vaults. None carry more potential for future wealth than the printing plates being carefully moved 
The Lost in Transit heist takes the players to a Texas train yard. Hidden in vaults among the train cars are the valuable printing plates that our client is after.
The heist is available in both stealth and loud.
Lost in Transit Bundle
This bundle contains 4 DLC’s released over the course of 3 months.

A new DLC for PAYDAY 2™ – The Tijuana Music Pack DLC as part of the Lost in Transit Bundle is released today

<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" alt="" height="208" src="https://mb.cision.com/Public/14632/3612769/abc5a7cd709ca598_800x800ar.png" width="624">

Today, the 11th of August 2022, PAYDAY 2™ celebrates 9 amazing years of PAYDAY 2. The highlights of this event is the new community event where the community works together to unlock cosmetic rewards. In addition to the event and rewards, OVERKILL_Almir is hosting a stream this afternoon at 17:00 CEST on the paydaythegame <a href="https://www.twitch.tv/paydaythegame">Twitch Channel</a>. 
It’s been 9 years since PAYDAY 2 first released. Ever since, PAYDAY 2 has been at the forefront of co-op and heisting games and has often sat as one of the most played titles on Steam.Over the years, images from PAYDAY 2 have been referenced in several popular games and even in big title movies. The PAYDAY 2 team is incredibly grateful to its community and fans for all the support they have shown over these past 9 years and hopes to see everyone for years to come.
Over the course of our anniversary celebration the event centers around a golden pig. Players collect valuables, put them in the piggy and the piggy grows larger. Once the pig is fed to bursting, rewards are unlocked. An individual can’t unlock these items, but needs to work with the rest of the community by filling up the meter on our <a href="https://pd2.link/PD2NinthNW">event website</a>.
&nbsp;
A crowd favorite, the cash blaster, returns for the second time. Last year the PAYDAY 2 community used the Cash Blaster to &#8220;make contributions to the police retirement fund&#8221;. This year the Cash Blaster is back with a renewed purpose, to feed a golden pig. Using the Cash Blaster will be one of the best ways of progressing the community event filling the pig and progressing both personal and community challenges.

The Midland Bundle and the Southbound Tailor Pack were released on Steam April 20th, followed by the McShay Weapon Pack on May 11th. With the release of the Midland Ranch Heist, the Midland Bundle is complete! The Texas Heat campaign will continue! Stay tuned to see what new misdeeds await in Texas.
&nbsp;
Midland Ranch Heist
Blaine Keegan, Texan, crook and family man. He is looking to turn a new leaf in his older days, and wants to leave a legacy for his family, a legal one. That legacy being all of Texas. And so, he’s set his sight on the highly lucrative, but cutthroat oil industry. Keegan wants nothing more than to go legit and hand over his criminal empire to his right hand, and family arms-dealer, Gemma McShay. She contacts the Payday Gang with an offer they can’t refuse…
The Midland Ranch heist takes place at a closed-off Texas ranch, instead of the usual fare of cattle, horses or tourists however. The only thing running through this ranch though are guns and soon, criminals.
Midland Bundle
We’ve changed how we package our DLC’s. This bundle contains 3 DLC’s released over a few weeks. This serves not only to give the best price to those who invest in us early, but also gives our team the time they need to finish every piece of content without a huge release deadline of having everything released at once looming in the distance. 
The Midland bundle is set as a static bundle, meaning it’s giftable through Steam, it does mean however that players are unable to ‘top up’ as is possible with some of our other bundles, it also means that purchasing one DLC outside of the Bundle will prevent you from getting the Bundle afterwards.

The City of Gold story
The City of Gold saga takes us from the iconic streets of San Francisco to the middle of the pacific ocean and back again, crossing the triads every step of the way. 
Starting with the Dragon heist, we start with a tip from Jiu Feng, leading us to a golden dragon, hidden away in an innocent looking tea shop.
The Triad doesn’t take kindly to being robbed however and quickly strike back against Vlad himself, kidnapping him and putting him through grueling torture in order to find the identity of the clown masked robbers that stole their precious gold dragon. 
Our heisters set out and save Vlad from an unpleasant fate, and prepare to strike back, in the first step they board the Black Cat which not only makes the Triad a tidy profit, but also acts as a floating bank for much of the Triad’s finances.
Having crippled their finances, the Gang returns to San Francisco where, with the help of triad insider Shayu the Gang seeks to invade the Triads US base of operations and put an end to Yufu Wang, the triad leader.
This Bundle contains all the DLC’s released during the City of Gold campaign. Any DLC you already own will be discounted from the total cost of this bundle.

PAYDAY 2™: SILK ROAD – Cartel Business out NOW

The below is an announcement posted to the PAYDAY 2 community on the <a href="http://www.overkillsoftware.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.overkillsoftware.com</a> website:
Hey Heisters,
I’m back for another update, but first of all I’d like to kick off by saying a big and heartfelt&nbsp;thank you&nbsp;on behalf of the crew and myself. Since we posted the first “<a href="https://www.starbreeze.com/2019/10/payday-2-community-update-the-winds-of-change/">Winds of Change</a>” update we’ve been closely monitoring, listening to and discussing your feedback. We feel overwhelmed by your understanding, and at the same time accept and acknowledge some of the hesitation you’ve expressed. We’d like to reiterate that the changes we’ve made were not an easy decision, but we hope that we can continue delivering exciting and fun experiences for you, that feels like time well spent in PAYDAY 2.&nbsp;
Many of our console players have been asking for updates, we’ve asked you to have patience with us and here’s finally an update for you:
<h3>TL;DR</h3>
<ul>
<li>Update 1.5 for XboxOne and PlayStation 4 is live NOW-ish (we’re waiting for the update to appear across both platforms) and is available as a free update</li>
<li>PC and consoles will unfortunately have disparity going forward</li>
<li>We would like to set the proper expectations at this time. Should we find the opportunity to revisit and solve the disparity in the future, we will do so.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
<h3>Preface</h3>
I know that we have not delivered on the Consoles as we should have, or even promised at one point. Where we are right now, I know that we still can’t. I want to change that for the future, but in all honesty, we won’t be able to do that for PAYDAY 2. We are however making the changes needed, so we can do it right for the next one from the get go.&nbsp;
Consoles has always been something of an Achilles heel in our production pipeline and while we’ve made several efforts through the years to strengthen the team and effectivising the PC production to better align to consoles, it hasn&#8217;t been enough. As of April 2019, the PAYDAY 2: Crime Wave Edition with its DLC’s is almost caught up to PC, but not quite.&nbsp;
We’ve had to look at the future console updates from our situation as it looks today, with the limitations that we have, rather than looking back at what has been said and done before and make choices accordingly, even though they might not be what we wish them to. We simply have too many constraints in available manpower to be able to fix the situation in the short term. We see this as an opportunity to, at least, be as forthcoming as we can be regarding the road map ahead.
To be clear as can be, we will out of necessity, at this time, have to accept disparity between the PC and Consoles versions for PAYDAY 2 going forward.&nbsp;
<h3>Updates for Playstation 4 and Xbox One</h3>
We’ve previously mentioned that we would like to attempt to achieve parity for PC and Consoles, at this time however, it will not be possible. We will release Console update 1.5 &#8211; for free &#8211; which will soon be hitting a console near you and will bring the console version of the game slightly closer to the current Legacy collection on PC.&nbsp;
Some of the remaining heists, together with the Safe House-feature, unfortunately have too high requirements in terms of optimization to be viable to port at this time. The primary heists and features most likely to be excluded from consoles are:
<ul>
<li>Shacklethorne Auction Heist (part of Icebreaker Campaign)</li>
<li>Reservoir Dogs Heist</li>
<li>Hells Island Heist (part of Breaking News Campaign)</li>
<li>No Mercy Heist (part of Breaking News Campaign)</li>
<li>The White House Heist (part of Breaking News Campaign)</li>
<li>The Safe House feature</li>
</ul>
The above mentioned campaigns all had masks, weapons or mods attached to them, we are currently still investigating if we can release those separately. Some additional content has licensing and collaboration restrictions attached to them, which unfortunately will make them challenging to release.
For you story buffs out there, we are aware that this will make the final “The Secret”- storyline unavailable to you at this time, which is highly unfortunate. Without making any promises, we will keep this in mind for the future, should we have the opportunity to revisit this content.&nbsp;
<h3>New Content anno 2019 and forward</h3>
So will the Silk Road Campaign see the light of day on consoles? The most straight up response we can give is: “we’re looking into it” and can not at this time provide a solid answer nor a timeline. When we know more, we will communicate accordingly.&nbsp;
<h3>PAYDAY 2 for Nintendo Switch</h3>
We’re very sad to announce that PAYDAY 2 for Nintendo Switch will be very unlikely to see further updates, despite what our initial ambitions were on the contrary. As per above, we’ve been forced to make many hard decisions along the road, and this is yet another. To put the Switch version separately into context, the transfer of the game over to the Switch-platform was not made in-house and would require significant further investments to happen.
We are very aware that this was undesired news, but we’d rather be clear to set the expectations now.&nbsp;
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
If you’ve made it this far, you might be present to the fact that we have chosen to word several things above as “highly unlikely”, “very challenging” or similar. To reiterate: This is by design to give everyone the proper set of expectations, to be as clear as we can be in our communication going forward, without future promises or timelines. We are, however, very unwilling to close the door completely on some of these issues, and will keep our previous promises in mind as we continue working to secure our business. Should we find the opportunity to revisit these challenges, we will do so.
