Starbreeze has revealed that the server issues that have been plaguing PayDay 3 since launch are now fixed, having previously blamed the issue on third-party matchmaking software, which “encountered an unforeseen error, which made it unable to handle the massive influx of players.”
Speaking in a statement, Tobias Sjogren, commented:
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. I don’t really need to repeat that this was not the start we wanted, but at the same time, our business model is a marathon and not a sprint and we will tirelessly continue to build Payday 3 bigger and better to deliver the greatest possible value for our players.
The studio added that it “now intensify the commercial activities around Payday 3, after partially pausing these during the previous week”. In addition, the game’s first major update will drop later this month, and includes “200+ quality-of-life improvements for all platforms.”
PayDay 3 was released for PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S on September 21, 2023.
