The game was presented at the Xbox Games Showcase, and although it’s available on PlayStation, Xbox users have the advantage of access to it on Xbox Game Pass from day one. An upgrade to Unreal Engine 5 is planned post-launch. PayDay 3 abandons Diesel Engine in favor of Unreal Engine 4. However, some critics suggest that its graphics are more reminiscent of high-end PS3 games than current-generation consoles. Visually, the game has benefited from improvements in lighting, textures and level design.

In terms of gameplay, the game retains the basic mechanics, but introduces more weapons, gadgets and heist strategies. Two new playable characters will be introduced, details of which will be revealed at a later date.

The story of “Payday 3” continues years after its predecessor, reuniting the original gang – Dallas, Hoxton, Wolf and Chains – in New York after an unexpected event. Overkill, the game’s developer, faced financial challenges, particularly after the lukewarm reception of their game “The Walking Dead”.

Announced in 2016, the development of Payday 3 has been tumultuous.
