Game dead ?

[It's Adam Lazlow]

We've got a pretty good few hundred daily count. After the halloween update and the wave defense game mode, it's gotten a little higher.

But the playerbase is divided between the singleplayer campaign, and the multiplayer stuff. Right now because of the halloween gamemode, there are more players in multiplayer, and just overall.

The game is still being supported and the developers have plans for 2025 for new characters, weapons, tools, and heists.

+Not everyone plays with open lobbies, FYI.

game is single player/coop so it doesnt die it just loses players over time learn what the word dead really means

I always do quickplay and nobody ever joins or I don't join anyone. Yet there is plenty of sessions out there. I think the issue is that the ping is always really high and quickplay filters them out. I've never played with good ping with anyone. Unless it's extremely bad, it usually feels pretty normal to play even with high ping.

Completely agree with this take, the game has offline single player content(which is also the best part in my opinion) so won't really "die" even if it loses players, always tiring to see these posts everywhere-_-

The game is also still actively being developed which there is pretty clear evidence of by looking at the patch history and roadmap.

Personally I think the game is a lot of fun although would ideally like to see more mission types/content overall. I was surprised how much I liked the new wave defense mode and think it's a great addition although think the multiplayer side of things could certainly use some love as it's a bit shallow compared to singleplayer experience in my view.

You don't need a whole lot of people to be able to play the singleplayer campaign or the 4 player co-op multiplayer mode. Both of which can be played alone with AI teammates that aren't glorified bulletsponges but help you do the objective, securing valueables and moving loot bags, ziptieing civilians in both stealth and loud.

If you want to directly jump into heists then the MP mode is for you. If you want a narrative driven story with a resource managing territory control mode with heists, then you got the campaign. Playing either will level up your account and you will make progress and unlock things for both gamemodes.

I personally want another big campaign expansion like Gold Cup or Cagnali's Orders was, no confirmation on that yet, but we are getting more heists for multiplayer in 2025, so the game is not yet dead. Up to you how you percieve this situation.

quick play is slow, even you got a full lobby, the game still want you wait 120sec when every one is ready, and quick play has less reward too.

Do not use Quickplay

Go to the Sessions tab and look for a lobby with
Good ping > Prefered difficulty > Player Count > Heist played
Don't be picky, we got 3 digit numbers at most times, there are lobbies for you to join but you gotta take what you have, every time I play I'm able to find people on Expert, doing one of the big heists or Rockay Rumble

only 231 players right now and 171 player increase since Humble choice. No one is playing this game. I might skip this month's hb choice.

its a roguelite, not a roguelike
meaning as you complete runs you get permanent bonuses, making future runs easier

as for payday being more fun...debatable
both games are focusing on diffrent things

that is standard roguelite stuff, not sure what you expected

got it in bundle but i'm probably already done with it. quick match never finds any players and the gameplay just makes me want to play payday 2 instead
