Why is the game always online?
When looking at what worked and what didn’t with PAYDAY 2, we wanted to find a way to both avoid negative aspects like rampant cheating and add capabilities for the game to be more engaging and rewarding for our players base.
We also wanted to ensure we kept our commitments to the console community and maintaining one PAYDAY across all platforms. To deliver on that, and adding cross progressions, leaderboards and more, we need to ensure that every player is on the same version of the game. With that said, we are always looking for the best possible solution to improve player experience, and while we have not started on an offline mode as of today, it’s definitely on the table. Multiple paths are currently being evaluated both from an experience and implementation perspective and we’ll share more information when we have a clearer commitment.
When does the first post-launch heist come out?
We're aiming for Q4 for the first post-launch heist in PAYDAY 3.
While our primary focus is to ensure the stablity of the game, the production of new heists and content are largely unaffected as they are made by a different team with different expertise.
Where can I leave feedback about the game?
We have a feature upvote page! It's the best way to help us collect and sort communtiy suggestions, either make your own post or upvote someone elses: https://payday3.featureupvote.com/
Are you making an offline mode?
We have not started working on an offline mode as of today. That said we haven't ruled it out as a possible safeguard to ensure PAYDAY 3 will remain always playable. We'll update you as soon as we have a more certain answer.
Can I use KB/M on Console?
The use of keyboard and mouse on consoles is not currently supported on either Xbox or PlayStation. We have seen your suggestions and are looking into adding support in the future.
Will there be any official modding in PD3?
No official modding support has been announced so far for PAYDAY 3. We are aware that our modding community is too commited to be stopped by that mere fact however, and we're looking how we can support modding.
If I buy a DLC on one platform, can I play it on the other platforms I own the game on?
PAYDAY 3 does not support cross-commerce of DLC content. This means that if you own the Gold Edition on Xbox and the Standard Edition on PC, you'll only be able to access the content of each respective version on the platform where you own it.
Are you considering text or voice chat in the pre-game lobby?
Pre-game lobby text chat is being worked on, we haven't started working on a pre-game lobby voice chat. We'll update you as soon as we have a more certain answer.
