PAYDAY 3 will be available for free to claim and keep for PlayStation Plus members starting February 4. This is the perfect opportunity to get your friends onboard and kickstart your new life of crime together. February also marks the return of a fan-favourite heister – Jacket – known for his iconic chicken mask, voice recorder, and unrelenting penchant for ruthless violence, making his triumphant return to the PAYDAY universe on February 3.
To celebrate Jacket’s return and give fans a taste of the chaos to come, watch this brand-new trailer showcasing the unique flair only Jacket can bring – watch the trailer here. In addition to the trailer, Starbreeze has created a mini-game to celebrate the upcoming launch of Jacket and PAYDAY´S legacy. ‘Don´t be a Hero’ is a stealth take on the iconic Hotline Miami franchise, the home of Jacket.
Don´t be a Hero
Don’t Be a Hero is a stealth-focused homage to the Hotline Miami franchise. The mini-game is created by Vincent Hellberg, a Graphic Designer on the Starbreeze marketing team, who also makes his own games and is known for his memorable appearances as Robert Banks in the Gateway Live lore video.
Flipping the script, players step into the role of Milton, a bank teller obsessed with the PAYDAY gang. Instead of being the predator, you play as a survivor trying to outmaneuver the gang, save colleagues, and grab some cash along the way.
Embrace the chaos, grab your bat, and unleash your inner psychopath—because Jacket is back. Play the game here!
