Still trash.

Why should the PS5 version be any better than the PC version? It’s the same ♥♥♥♥♥♥ game with the same bugs and server issues. Move on with something worth playing.

You didn't play since Launch in September 2023? Well you will find many changes have happened since then. My suggestion would be to try it out and check how things are now... I know many Steam friends that are back and having fun.

Talking just about content you got double the heists (with the 2024 ones being considered superior to the release ones), double the weapons (and Overkill weapons + Overskills) some extra skill lines, 3 new heisters.

About other stuff added there was Crimenet + Progression Overhaul, an armor which is an hybrid style from the Payday 3 release and the older Payday 1 and 2 (with another armor overhaul to come in March/April that adds modularity to it and brings back a third armor type which is THE Payday 1 and 2 one, which fully regenerates).

This is not all of course, there are other QOL stuff and cosmetics added

Some of this stuff was free, some other was paid. If you check it out remember to claim free dlcs on the Store! (like the Houston character pack)

The game still suffers from soft locks regardless of the version of it.

We're still QA testing this for them from the looks of it.

The game is fine, do, if you can, give it another go. It's definitely worth playing again (and buying/getting if it's on sale or on GP or PSPlus for "Free") because it's in a far better state than it was at launch but it's still flawed and does sadly have a theoretical shelf life.

the game is well optimzed for me.
Played 40 hours now and no crashes, sometimes , very rare server lags,

better than Payday 2 with random crashes sometimes.

always PC > Consoles

Console players are still their own special breed, especially since now PD3 is free to keep with PS+.

The swarm of level 1s joining Overkill difficulties and people who OBVIOUSLY skipped the tutorials is astounding.

Nothing has changed, if anything things are bound to get worse since its now common knowledge (unless you like to live in payday denial) that they barely have a skeleton crew working on this game while the majority of devs have moved on. If you thought updates were slow last year hoo boy buckle up cause youll be lucky if you get more than three this year. Id move on, they will almost certainly be pulling the plug on this game anytime soon.
