Starbreeze Studios has said that the issues that have been disruptingPayday 3since the game launched have now been fixed.
On September 26,Payday 3was temporarily taken offline in order to “improve server and matchmaking stability” after the game was experiencing matchmaking issues across all platforms.
The problem has been prevalent ever since the game was released on September 21, and has resulted inplayers being unable to play online. However, in a newblog postshared today (October 2), Starbreeze stated that the maintenance carried out last week has fixed the initial matchmaking issues.
“Matchmaking has been stable and has had good performance after the completed maintenance,” the developer said.
Starbreeze said that it will now “intensify the commercial activities aroundPayday 3” and will release the first update for the game early this month. As for the coming months, the developer shared an outline of its planned updates up until the end of the year. These will offer new content, add 200+ quality-of-life improvements, implement bug fixes, and new functionality.
A newDLC named “Syntax Error"is also set for a Winter release, which will be included in the Silver and Gold Editions of the game.
Starbreeze CEO Tobias Sjögren also shared a statement on the recent problems saying, “First and foremost, I would like to thank our players for the patience they have shown us. Our community is the engine that drives both our games and our company forward.

In our three-starPayday 3review, Jake Tucker said that the game is competently made and provides a fairly polished experience, explaining that “…while stealth gets an upgrade, the shooting is the same as its decade-old predecessor.Hitman-esque levels provide a nice distraction, but this feels like a foundation forPayday 3as a live service game rather than a total product.”
