The creators of the PAYDAY Series

OVERKILL Software was founded in September 2009 by a group of hardened industry veterans.

As time passed, loads of cool members joined up to execute on the PAYDAY plan. In 2012, OVERKILL joined forces with Starbreeze Studios.

Being a part of the new parent company, OVERKILL relocated to the Starbreeze offices in the heart of Stockholm and joined up with the rest of the Starbreeze team, gathering two great teams with rich and knowledgeable histories of how to make awesome First Person Shooter games.

OVERKILL Software was responsible for the hit PAYDAY Series of games – PAYDAY: The Heist, PAYDAY 2, and most recently PAYDAY 3.

While the branding of OVERKILL has been used less and less over time, the OVERKILL spirit still burns brightly in the Starbreeze Alumni!
