Hey Heisters,

We have an update on pricing across PAYDAY The Heist, PAYDAY 2, and PAYDAY 3.

Starting on April 14th on Steam, with other PC and console platforms to follow, we are introducing a new global pricing structure designed to make PAYDAY more accessible, more consistent, and easier to understand for players around the world.

As part of this update, we have adjusted regional pricing to better reflect local currencies and how prices differ across regions. This means that many players in regions such as Brazil, Indonesia, Mexico, India, South Korea, Latin America, and the CIS will see meaningful price reductions in their local currency.

Over time, pricing across PAYDAY content has become overly complex, with different packs priced in different ways depending on when and how they were released. While that made sense at the time, it has made the catalogue harder to navigate than it should be.

With this update, we are introducing clear pricing tiers across content types so you always know what to expect:

• PAYDAY The Heist: $9.99 (previously $14.99)

• PAYDAY 2 and PAYDAY 3 Heists: $4.99

• PAYDAY 2 and PAYDAY 3 Tailor Packs: $2.99

• PAYDAY 2 Weapon Packs: $2.99

• PAYDAY 2 Character DLCs: $1.99

• PAYDAY 3 Weapon Packs: $3.99

This creates a more transparent and predictable structure across all PAYDAY content.

As part of this change, several popular PAYDAY 2 heist DLCs, including Crude Awakening, Hostile Takeover, and Buluc's Mansion, are being reduced from $6.99 to $4.99. A small number of older items, such as Hotline Miami, Scarface Heist, and Armored Transport, are being adjusted slightly upward to align with the same structure.

PAYDAY continues to grow as one of the most content-rich co-op experiences in gaming. We are focused on improving PAYDAY 3 for current players while making it easier for new players to jump in. At the same time, with Sidetrack Games continuing to support PAYDAY 2, the franchise will keep expanding with new content.

This new pricing structure lays the foundation for what comes next. A more consistent, more transparent, and more accessible PAYDAY.

New heists, new gear, and more reasons to get back in the van are on the way.

Thanks for being part of the crew. We will see you on the job.

Hey Heisters!

We are kicking off a Steam playtest from Thursday to Monday to test some fresh under-the-hood improvements to the Peer-2-Peer matchmaking!

Feel free to jump into the Open Beta Branch on Steam!

The playtest will be running on a separate branch on Steam. To switch branch, you need to right click on PAYDAY 3 in your Steam Library and select "Properties".

In the window that pops up, navigate to the "Game Versions & Beta" tab. Select the Open Beta in the list you see here.

Then launch the game as normal!

As this Playtest runs on a different backend than the regular live version of PAYDAY 3, your progress WILL NOT CARRY OVER. You will be starting from the beginning in terms of progression in the playtest build. We recommend playing the Crowd Control Tutorial before you start playtesting, to quickly gain 150 levels and millions in cash.

Your progression in PAYDAY 3 will not be affected by what happens on the playtest branch. You'll have your regular level and weapons/loadouts once you're back to the normal version.
