Payday 3
Payday 3 is this cool cooperative first-person shooter game, you know? It's made by Starbreeze Studios and brought to us by Deep Silver. Think of it as the next big thing after Payday 2, the third part in the Payday series. They dropped it on September 21, 2023, and you can play it on PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S.
Now, here's the twist – it didn't exactly hit the bullseye with the critics, getting a mix of good and not-so-great reviews. Even Embracer Group, the big boss behind it all, didn't quite hit the jackpot in terms of sales. It's got Gustavo Coutinho rocking the composition, and they built the whole thing on Unreal Engine 4. Plus, you can dive into the action either solo or team up for some multiplayer fun. So, that's Payday 3 in a nutshell!

Payday 3 Gameplay
Payday 3 builds on the heist action gameplay from its earlier versions. It kicks off with eight major heists, from hitting banks to taking on skyscrapers and ports. Compared to the 12 maps in Payday 2's launch, it's a bit fewer, but these heists look beefier and more detailed than before.
Just like in the trailer, Payday 3 lets players choose between sneaky tactics or going full-throttle with guns blazing when the cops show up. The trailers hint at different kinds of enemies, like shield-wielding ones and sneaky types. Similar to before, the heists are all about teaming up with four players, each taking on a unique character with their own skills and styles. You can jazz up these characters with cool looks and abilities.
Here's the kicker: in Payday 3, you can grab hostages and use them to bargain with the bad guys. It's not crystal clear if this helps finish missions, but it might buy time while your buddies figure out the escape plan. Anyway, we're pretty stoked to dive in with pals and see how this new game rolls!
Payday 3 Setting
Payday 3 picks up the story after Payday 2's ending where the Payday Gang split up and tried leaving their criminal lives behind. But, a nasty double-cross leaves them broke, pushing the gang back into the world of crime they wanted to ditch.
The OG crew, like "Dallas," "Chains," "Wolf," and "Hoxton" from Payday: The Heist, are making a comeback alongside two more heisters: "Joy" from Payday 2 and a fresh face called "Pearl." They're setting their heists mainly in New York, with teaser images hinting at a mission at the "Gold & Sharke Incorporated" bank. This time around, the game's landing smack dab in the 2020s, diving deeper into the gang's crimes. Expect new challenges with high-tech surveillance and the whole buzz around cryptocurrency shaking things up in the gameplay.
