Year 1 Edition includes
- Payday 3
- Year 1 Pass

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.

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

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

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

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

So good with friends
- Real fun feeling
- Not as much material as Payday 2 but he's just starting

Payday 3 is pure chaos, and I love it! The heists are intense, the guns feel awesome, and sneaking around like a pro is so satisfying. Playing with friends is where it’s at—nothing beats yelling at your crew while the cops swarm in.
But yeah, it’s not perfect. The game launched with fewer maps than I expected, and there are some annoying bugs and server issues. Also, the microtransactions? Not cool.
Still, if you’re into chaotic co-op action and don’t mind a rough start, Payday 3 is a blast. Just maybe wait for a sale or some updates if you’re on the fence. 7/10, would rob again! ??
