Payday 3 is a fantasy co-op shooter game. To celebrate its upcoming anniversary, it will be released as an update for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S|X, and PC on October 30, 2024.
Based on the Payday game news page, this update has two updates for the 30th. One is Payday 3 Anniversary Update: Part 2 and the other is Payday 3 Year 1 Edition Pass.
It has been stated that free updates will improve the heisting experience compared to before. The way it will do this is by:
- Server browser: the much sought-after server browser returns. Pick freely with or without filters and dive straight into the action with the perfect crew.
- Cross-platform VoIP and text chat: communication is key to any successful heist. Whether it’s the panicked cries of your team being gunned down, the sweet sound of coordination, or the heroic rescue, you’ll hear it all.
- UI update: Payday 3 now has a revamped UI to complement the brand-new content and features released in the past year.
- Lobby kick: manage your lobby and control exactly who you want in your heist.
- Twitch drops: Watch Payday 3 streams on Twitch to receive in-game cosmetics for free.
- New masks: Get spooky with a new Halloween mask or freshen up your heisting attire with two new Masks of the Week.
