'Payday 3' Plans To Release Operation Medic Bag Updates At An Accelerated Pace Over the Summer

Set in New York City, Payday 3 is a high-octane, first-person co-op shooter game that lets players live out the fantasy of being a world-class career criminal and master the art of heisting.

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 over the coming months they intend to increase the pace of both content and feature updates to Payday 3.

Since January, five updates have been released under the 'Operation Medic Bag' initiative, including the successful launch of the 'Boys in Blue' DLC as well as the first version of Solo mode. Two more major DLCs, along with a series of updates such as VOIP, server browser and CrimeNet, are scheduled for release in the coming months.

'Operation Medic Bag' is a focused effort that aims to continuously roll out requested functionality, enhancements, new technology and content to Payday 3 with the aim of realizing both Starbreeze’ and the player community’s vision for the game. During the summer, activity will increase further, with more content and functionality updates.

“The Payday team has worked tirelessly over the past few months to realize both our and the players' vision for Payday 3. The updates during the spring have laid a solid foundation to accelerate our roadmap. Most recently, we launched our second major DLC, as well as a large amount of free content for all players, including a long-awaited single player mode. We are already seeing an improvement in both activity and sentiment among our players, which is very positive.”, says Mats Juhl, acting CEO, Starbreeze.

"In the coming months, we will continue to be active with two more DLCs and more updates within 'Operation Medic Bag', up until the one-year anniversary of Payday 3's launch in September," continues Mats Juhl.

Planned DLCs until September 2024 are “Land of the Free” and “Fear and Greed”. Within the 'Operation Medic Bag' initiative, updates are expected for matchmaking, CrimeNet, improvements for Solo mode, new user interface and more.
