Payday 3 Gets Release Date, is Headed to Game Pass

Payday 3 officially has a release date, and it’s headed to Game Pass on September 21.

During today’s Xbox Games Showcase, Starbreeze Studios showed off another look at the action-packed Payday 3 and announced its day one release on Game Pass. The trailer shows off more of the series’ classic action-packed co-op FPS gameplay, with the original Payday crew (and their masks) returning once more to the franchise.

Revealed at the end of 2022, Payday 3 is set in a “living, enormous” New York City. Compared to Payday 2, released 10 years ago, Payday 3 also features quite a few new topics, with cryptocurrency, mass surveillance, and even the dark web all playing a role. At the end of 2022, the CEO of Starbreeze said the game was “coming along really well.”
