Step out of retirement back into the life of crime in the shoes of the Payday Gang, the envy of their peers and the nightmare of law-enforcement wherever they go. Several years after the crew’s reign of terror over Washington DC has ended, they assemble once again to deal with the threat that roused them out of early retirement.

Payday 3 takes players to the city of unlimited possibilities - New York City.

The Payday Gang, consisting of Dallas, Hoxton, Wolf and Chains return from retirement, and find themselves in the Big Apple after an unknown threat appears, shattering the illusion of peacefully living on the “right” side of the law. As they say, “Leopards can’t change their spots”, and thanks to years of experience and a mysterious new player in the criminal underworld, they quickly get their hands on the first lucrative heists and leave their explosive calling card with the city's security and police forces.

Players will discover new ways to pull off the perfect heist thanks to new skills, gadgets and weapons while the Payday 3 storyline will continuously expand with new content and challenges.

Get ready to pull off the ultimate score. Payday 3 Anniversary Update: Part 2 is the latest free content drop for the fantasy co-op heist shooter, arriving on October 30, 2024.

Loaded with enhancements, new features, and community driven requests, this expansive update will ensure your next heist is the smoothest getaway yet.

In addition, Payday 3 is rolling out the Year 1 Edition and Year 1 Pass – your all access tickets for those serious about mastering the art of the heist.

The definitive Year 1 Edition is the perfect entry point for newcomers, offering the base game along with every piece of paid and free content released since launch. For existing heisters, the Year 1 Pass ensures access to all the latest content, including the four gripping expansions - Syntax Error, Boys in Blue, Houston Breakout, and Fear & Greed.  

As a bonus for fans, a Legacy Heist will return later this year for free, allowing all players to relive one of the game’s most popular challenges.

Additionally, a brand-new paid character pack will be released, offering heisters and operators the tools they need to stay ahead of the law.
