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.

Publisher Deep Silver and developer Starbreeze announced that Payday 3's second DLC Expansion, Chapter 2 - Boys in Blue, will launch on PC and consoles June 27.

Following the events in Chapter 1 - Syntax Error, the gang is taking their next heist directly to a police station, capturing the essence of PAYDAY, where every stolen gold bar is a statement against authority.

Boys in Blue DLC

Boys in Blue is accessible to Silver Edition, Gold Edition, and Gold Pass owners of PAYDAY 3 and is available to buy separately on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. The DLC consists of:

• The Heist Pack: with PAYDAY 3: Chapter 2 - Boys in Blue
• The Weapon Pack with three new weapons, 26 mods, and 2 cosmetics
• The Tailor Pack with four new masks, four new suits, and four new gloves

Payday 3’s second DLC Expansion also comes with a major free update. The Boys in Blue free update will be available for all players and includes:

• Solo Mode Beta (on all platforms)
• New heister Clover, originally introduced to the PAYDAY series in 2014, including a gun and weapon charm 
• New Primary weapon – LMG
• Loadout renaming
• Nvidia DLSS 3.0 Ready, offering a boost to performance for anyone with a recent Nvidia graphics card

Solo Mode Beta

The Boys in Blue update introduces a Solo Mode Beta, addressing community feedback received since the game's release. 

In this beta, sections of the game previously hosted on Payday servers are now hosted on players' devices. This skips the matchmaking step, meaning players still must log in and have access to the internet, but only for initial identification and start up. This is the first step to support a full offline option in the future. 

Key Features:

• The Tightest Crew - The legendary Payday Crew, feared by the law and underworld alike, is back. New York City has a lot of opportunities for a heister with a plan. 
• Give in to your greed - Give outlet to your greed and let loose in Payday 3. Claim any valuables you might come across in order to build a private arsenal of weapons, cosmetics and accolades. 
• The Art of Heisting - In Payday 3 the choice is in the hands of the players. Choose your equipment, your skills and your approach. Each heist will play differently depending on the choices you make. 
• Thrive in Co-op - play heists with elegance, as in Ocean's Eleven, or go toe-to-toe with the security services, as in HEAT. Each playthrough is unique and full of action and tension!

Payday 3 is available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam / Epic Games Store) at $39.99.
