PAYDAY 3 is set to come ten years after the second game was released, with it given a release date of September 21. Originally, we only knew a release year for the game, but this was recently made more exact at the Xbox Showcase 2023.

PAYDAY 3 trailers

The first teaser trailer for PAYDAY 3 arrived on May 8, 2023, and doesn't give a lot away. Still, it does confirm a gameplay reveal is coming in Summer 2023.

Then came the Xbox Showcase gameplay trailer, which can be seen above. This saw our first look at combat for our mask-wearing heisters.

As we begin to approach the release of the game, more and more information has been released about what we will be getting up to this September. PAYDAY 3 is not a reinvention of what we have seen before, once again focusing on four players trying to execute a heist as part of a team.

Every heist will act as its own unique puzzle that you and your buddies will have to solve, and at launch, these will all be set in New York City. You can read even more about what to expect from PAYDAY 3 in our hands-on preview, where we also got to talk to the Brand Director about the game.

What platforms will PAYDAY 3 be on?

  • PC
  • PlayStation 5
  • Xbox Series X|S
