The release date for Payday 3 was just revealed by a prominent leaker, and it seems that gamers may get access to the title in just a few months. The Payday series has some of the most famous heist-based first-person shooter games ever, and Payday 3 will probably be an excellent pick for people who love heist-based games like GTA 5.Originally released in 2011, Payday was already focused on heists before GTA 5 made them so popular. Payday 2 is considered one of the most popular co-op shooters of all time, and many fans were begging for a sequel, as the title was released ten years ago. Soon, in Payday 3, gamers will be able to play as the Payday Gang once more, whose members are stepping out of retirement to pull off a few more heists. However, even with the official announcement of Payday 3 a few months ago, fans didn’t have any idea of the possible release date until recently.Now, it seems that Payday 3 already has a release date: September 21, 2023. This information comes from Aggiornamenti Lumia on Twitter, who discovered this possible leak and shared it on social media. It’s still unclear, however, if this release will be simultaneous on all platforms, as the game has been previously confirmed to be in development for at least PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
While all non-official information should be taken with a grain of salt, Aggiornamenti Lumia has a pretty good track record when it comes to leaks. Previously, they have leaked information like Immortals Fenyx Rising going to Xbox Game Pass, and the release date for Lords of the Fallen, for example. So, it’s fair to say that this is a decent source of information about Payday 3’s release date.
According to previously revealed information about the game, Payday 3 will be set in New York and have a modern focus. Some time ago, the developers talked about dealing with how security technology has changed in the last few years, and how this will impact the title’s gameplay. The game will offer a vast range of gadgets that could be used during heists, and players could, for instance, use the money they robbed to buy cryptocurrencies and get more weapons in the black market without being tracked by the police. Still, it remains to be seen if these changes will help the new entry in the franchise to become as popular as Payday 2 was, especially as it has more competition around than the previous game had in 2013.
Payday 3 is currently slated to be released in 2023 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
