In perhaps a not particularly surprising move, Starbreeze is reducing the size of the team working on Payday 3.
]]>Everyone pretty much already knew that Payday 3 had a really terrible launch, and in a recent interview developer Starbreeze has admitted as such, even as it makes some hopeful promises.
]]>You’d be forgiven for entirely forgetting Payday 3 even came out, but it was, in fact, released last year. The game is coming up on its one year anniversary on September 21, and a lot has changed since that disastrous launch.
]]>Double Fine's Psychonauts 2 documentary PsychOdyssey just got one final episode, wrapping up the game's years-long journey.

Payday 3 continues to be in a rough spot, with many players opting for its predecessor instead, though the heist shooter has recently received a hefty patch.
]]>Supermassive Games, the developer of horror hits Until Dawn and The Quarry, is reportedly planning to lay off 90 workers, with 150 having been informed that they’re at risk of redundancy.
]]>Payday 3 had a rough launch, and its player base is dwindling, which developer Starbreeze has acknowledged - but it's dead set on a comeback.
]]>Things just never get un-spooky for poor Alan Wake, who’s now set to arrive in Dead By Daylight on January 30 as the game’s latest crossover survivor, following all that fun he had in Alan Wake 2 late last year.
]]>Payday 3 isn't the explosive hit many of us where expecting. As of writing, it has a 24-hour Steam peak of 1,489 players. That obviously doesn't take into account those enjoying it on consoles, the Epic Game Store or Game Pass, but, when compared to the 27,099 24-hour peak that serves as Payday 2's high watermark, it paints quite the picture. It's clear to everyone that if the game will ever reach the heights of its predeccesor, it has a long way to go.
]]>Another year of the video games, another three hour long event just before Christmas that tells us all about the video games, The Game Awards 2023 has officially finished washing over us all.

]]>The next serial killer coming to Dead by Daylight is Chucky, the murderous doll from the Child's Play slasher series. While he might be a bit on the short side, as you know, it doesn't hinder him in the slightest.
]]>Overkill and Starbreeze have released the first patch for Payday 3 and it features some balancing and fixes technical issues.
]]>Payday 3 is firmly in its rough patch era. The game's popularity has dwindled to a worrying degree, at least from what we can see on Steam. The heist simulator only came out on September 21, so it's been a little over a month since launch.
]]>While servers might be stable now, Payday 3 developer Starbreeze Entertainment still isn't having a smooth time, as the game's latest patch has been delayed.
]]>It looks like Payday 3 is finally starting to turn a corner. After weeks of server instability that even had developer Starbreeze consider implementing an offline mode for solo players, things have finally started to stabilise.
]]>After a very rocky launch, it looks like Payday 3 might finally be free of its server issues, at least according to developer Starbreeze.
]]>It is no secret at this point that Payday 3 has had one of the most turbulent launches for a live game in recent memory. The game suffered from constant connectivity issues, matchmaking problems, and various other stability issues that rendered it unplayable for most players over the weekend.
]]>Payday 3 officially launched last Thursday, September 21, following an early access period for owners of the Silver and Gold editions of the game. While server stability during the early access launch was rocky, things took a turn for the worse when the floodgates opened on the full launch day.
]]>We're coming towards the end of September, so Xbox has revealed the next batch of games that will be coming to Game Pass throughout the rest of the month.
]]>Rejoice, Denuvo haters, as Payday 3 developer Starbreeze has confirmed the controversial DRM system will no longer be in the upcoming heist shooter.
]]>There’s something quite poetic about Payday 3. The story of the game follows veteran heisters getting the gang back together for one last job – a retirement plan they really didn’t see coming. But, in the eyes of Almir Listo, global brand director and head of community at Starbreeze Entertainment, that narrative also works as a clean and tidy analogy for the studio. And the players, as well, actually.
]]>Payday 3 will include two more playable characters at launch, the female gang members Pearl and Joy. They will join the original gang of clown-masked criminals for a total of six heisters.
]]>Deep Silver and Starbreeze have announced an open Technical Beta for Payday 3, set to kick off this weekend.

]]>Deep Silver and Starbreeze have announced a closed beta for Payday 3, and you can sign up for your chance to participate now.
]]>The upcoming heist shooter Payday 3 is the latest casualty from the continuing trend of games being always online.
In recent years, more and more games that have a focus on online multiplayer are requiring you constantly have an internet connection just to play the game. It turns out that Payday 3 is the next game to opt for players needing to be always-online, which isn't entirely unsurprising considering it is an online multiplayer title (thanks, Eurogamer). This comes from a recent Payday 2 livestream hosted by Almir Listo, the global brand director at the game's developer Starbreeze, which you can check out below.
During the livestream, some viewers asked if it will have "an offline mode, like playing solo," with Listo responding, "No. You will be able to play it by yourself, but I do believe you will have to have a connection in order to play because it's made in the Unreal Engine, it's using cross-progression, [and] cross-play. I do believe we need you to be online."
At first glance, you might not see the problem with a multiplayer title requiring a constant internet connection, but the concern is less to do with the game itself, and more to do with mods. One player on the Payday subreddit, ShrekDamage, noted how Payday 2 "will live forever [because] of mods, [Payday 3] will live for a few months until Starbreeze goes out of business."
Other fans on the subreddit are suggesting that those who have pre-ordered the game should cancel their orders to try and get Starbreeze to "listen to the community," though with the game due out in September, it's unlikely something as complicated as this could be changed so easily.
Starbreeze shared a look at some Payday 3 gameplay for the first time last month, where it also revealed the game's September 21 release date. If you're not too fussed about the always-online thing, you'll also probably be happy to hear it will be a day one Xbox Game Pass title too.
]]>Some new Payday 3 gameplay has been uploaded online early, totally uncut for our viewing pleasure.
]]>The gameplay reveal of Payday 3 during the Xbox Showcase was definitely one of the show's biggest surprises. Payday is a popular series, particularly on PC, but it doesn't often get the limelight in the mainstream.

]]>Starbreeze's heist shooter, Payday, is to be developed for film or TV.
]]>Halloween is right around the corner, and I don’t know about any of you, but it’s definitely one of my favourite holidays of the year. Mainly because, unlike Christmas (in which I rarely get to relax, let alone boot up a game), it’s the perfect excuse for me to kick back and chill out with my favourite genre of game, and that’s horror.
]]>If you’re looking to scare yourself silly with some of the best horror games of all time, then you’re in the right place. Halloween has been and gone, but it's always an appropriate time to get cosy and play something spine-tingling. Whether you’re looking to lose sleep for fear of what lurks in the shadows, or you simply want some fear-fuelled laughs, there are an abundance of tremendously terrifying video games out there to try.
]]>It's been a while since we've heard about upcoming Starbreeze game, Payday 3, but in a celebratory livestream the developer spilled the beans on what we can expect from the highly-anticipated heist-shooter that's set to launch in 2023.
]]>Behaviour Interactive issues Dead by Daylight codes on a fairly regular basis, and that’s a good thing. Dead by Daylight codes usually give you free Bloodpoints. You’ll use these to unlock nodes on character Bloodwebs, which opens perk slots and more. The Bloodpoints they offer are perfect for building new characters and they work on every platform.
