- Payday 3
- Year 1 Pass
Step out of retirement back into the life of crime in the shoes of the Payday Gang, the envy of their peers and the nightmare of law-enforcement wherever they go. Several years after the crew’s reign of terror over Washington DC has ended, they assemble once again to deal with the threat that roused them out of early retirement.



The legendary Payday Crew, dreaded by the law and underworld alike, is back. Ripped from their peaceful retirement to rejoin the criminal world by a new threat, one born from the chaos the Crew left in their wake.

In order to identify and crush this new threat, the Crew is leaving their Washington DC roots behind them and moving to New York City. A new location will bring with it new challenges, but also new opportunities for a heister with a plan.



Give outlet to your greed and let loose in PAYDAY 3. In addition to gold, cash and jewelry and any other valuables they might come across, you’ll be able to build a sizable collection of weapons, cosmetics and accolades.

It won’t be as simple as showing up and gaining goodies. You’ll have to work hard and plan smart to get away with as much loot as possible. Gain experience, unlock new skills and gain proficiency in weapons to steadily grow your power to handle the tougher challenges.



A professional heister knows it takes planning, hard work and a good amount of luck in order to execute a successful heist. In PAYDAY 3 the choice is put in the hands of the players, deciding how to tackle the heist, whether you sneak or go in guns blazing, whether you let your hostages go or keep them around as pawns, whether you go at it alone or bring friends. The choices are endless and in your hands, they will vastly change how the game plays.



Not just anyone is worthy of standing at your side for something as important as a heist. Likewise, PAYDAY 3 is best enjoyed with close friends in mind, whether you bring them from your childhood or make them along the road.

The PAYDAY-series has always valued the bonds made through hardship and tries to reflect that in the actions and words of our heisters while in the game, and through our community while on the outside.

Saved around $20 dollars purchasing it here instead of Steam. Can't think of a time that saving money on a digital product would be a bad thing.

Random line of text to meet recommended character limit.
  • Good Price
Very bad game, servers are trash and the game is glitchy. Not really much added since the last game, the maps are not really good either.

Might aswell play Payday 2 if you want to play something like this.
If I could even log-in to the game and play it I'd love to give it a fair review, until then. This is such a massive let down, all you had to do was take what payday2 did and make it a little better..
  • The menu looks nice
  • Music in the menu sounds nice
  • Game seems to load fast into the menu
  • Servers are 100% offline all the time
  • I can't log in
  • Im getting sick of looking at the menu
Payday 3 Review

Payday 3 is a solid first-person shooter with a focus on cooperative gameplay. It features a variety of heists to complete, each with its own unique challenges and rewards. The game also has a deep customization system, allowing players to tailor their playstyles to their liking.

However, Payday 3 is not without its flaws. The game's launch was plagued by technical issues, and its content can feel a bit lacking at times. Additionally, the game's progression system is heavily grindy, which can discourage some players.

Overall, Payday 3 is a fun and challenging cooperative shooter. However, it is important to be aware of its flaws before purchasing.

Score: 7/10
  • Solid first-person shooter gameplay
  • Focus on cooperative gameplay
  • Variety of heists to complete
  • Technical issues at launch
  • Lacking content
  • Grindy progression system
Not a bad game, missing a lot of features from PAYDAY 2 which i hope they will patch in at some point but still i haven't even been able to play the game until very recently and even then, the servers keep being really laggy and the matchmaking crashes in the middle of matches or when just trying to find one, so i wouldn't recommend buying this and instead to hold off until they update the game in like a year, as with every game nowadays
  • Fun gameplay, vastly improved from PAYDAY 2
  • Graphics are fine, a bit generic maybe
  • Heists are fun and stealth has been drastically improved
  • Unstable servers, and broken matchmaking
  • Not much content but might improve in the future
  • Awful progression
Progression based on challenges (lmao), weapons feels weak, no hideout no real planning, nothing that made payday 2 a decent game.

Horrible lauch due to poor planning from the devs, that's what you get when you go from peer-to-peer to a client server infrastructure without the mean to maintain and scale it properly.

I know it's impossible but I wish instant gaming would refund me the key
Ive been playing PD3 for a few hours now, though i've only been in gameplay for roughly 40 minutes. The rest of the time has been in lobbies trying to find a match. Even if you play SOLO you still need to wait for a match for some odd reason. I feel so bad for the gamers who had preordered the silver and gold editions only to wait on a match. The devs seriously need to do some work on the server side of the game. Although i would say that the gameplay is very fun.
  • Good gameplay
  • Long waiting time between matches

Ahhhhhhhhhhh, i neeeed a medic bag !!!

  • no more cool lines from Dallas
  • everything else about the game
> Can't complete any challenges as they're bugged preventing me from levelling up

> ''Online only'' to stop hackers yet I've seen several already and not to mention the horrific launch with Nebula I just don't understand why we couldn't have just stuck to peer to peer (if it ain't broke don't fix it)

> Tired of waiting for a day 1 patch that seems to keep being pushed further and further back

(For reference Payday 2 had roughly 11 patches in the 1st few months Payday 3 has not even had 1 yet and it's been almost a month)

> 2 of the heists in game are unbeatable the nightclub in stealth still won't allow me or my team to pick up the crypto wallet in stealth and the Art heist despite picking up the correct paintings softlocks afterwards making it unbeatable

> Devs are doing streams to take questions but the're honestly pointless as the info we get is always blunt ''we don't know'' ''bare with us'' or ''we're looking into it''

> No health or Armour Regen effectively meaning that once you're out of both the game becomes stupidly tedious at least let us regen 1 slot of health or armour

> No option to search for loud or stealth meaning people get toxic or rage quit

> The god awful XP system forcing you to play how the game wants you to play or guess what you can 0 xp regardless how difficult a heist was which is honestly one of the worst changes i've witnessed in a videogame tbh

And this isn't even half the issues with this game

I mean I could go on but i'm tired.

I love this franchise but to see it end up like this is depressing for now don't give this company anymore money till they get their act together

I have been playing this game for a while now, and overall I think it's a great game. At first, it had a rough start, with several bugs and glitches that made the game almost unplayable. However, the developers have done a great job of fixing many of these issues, and the game is now much more stable and enjoyable to play.

One of the things I love about this game is the variety of heists that you can play. Each mission feels unique, and there are many different ways to approach each one. However, I do feel that there are too few heists to play. After a while, the missions can start to feel repetitive, and it would be great to see more added in future updates.

Another issue I have with the game is that stealth doesn't feel rewarding. While it's fun to try and complete a mission without alerting any guards, there's no real incentive to do so. You don't get any bonuses for going stealth, and in fact, it can sometimes be more difficult than just going in guns blazing. I think it would be great if the developers could add some kind of reward for players who successfully complete a heist without being detected.

The graphics in this game are fantastic, and the attention to detail is impressive. However, I do think that they could be a little bit more optimized. Even on high-end machines, there are sometimes framerate drops and other performance issues that can be distracting.

Finally, the lack of ammo in this game is a problem. It can be frustrating to run out of ammo in the middle of a heist, especially if you're playing solo. It would be great if the developers could add more ammo drops or some other way to help players manage their ammo more effectively.

Overall, I think this is a great game with a lot of potential. With a few tweaks and updates, it could be even better. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys heist games or first-person shooters.
I say wait till 2025 to buy this game

I NEED MORE AMMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Top game like part 2.

If you can't play stealth, it's more your fault than the game's. So far i have done every job stealth alone or with frinds.

You don't like the key assignment? then change it ! very simple ..

Why is the game bad because the body bags or in the lobby this planning map is missing? i don't know anyone who has ever used the map.

We only drew / wrote sh*t on it in the second part ^^.

I wouldn't have needed body bags until now, so something unnecessary has been removed. that's good.

Yes, the skill system looks confusing at first look. At the "FIRST LOOK".

Who does not understand it ... yes no idea ... leave the game but then please do not buy other games that have a skill system or talent tree that could confuse you just as !

Sometimes the servers are down. But you have to expect that at release time. Is also not a big developer ... like ... blizzard for example ... ah so they never make it either.

The number of missions for release are too few for you ? Dude ... You're pretty spoiled brats...

The game itself is perfect! It has a lot of new features and is really appealing from the graphics! The only con were the server issues at the launch of the game but for 30€ you cant be mad! Try it yourself!
  • New features!
  • Server issues
Dont buy this game yet! IT IS NOT PLAYABLE AT THE MOMENT!
