Unlike its predecessors
Payday 3looked pretty similar to its predecessorswhen shownduring last month’s Xbox Games Showcase. Almir Listo, global brand director at developers Starbreeze, confirmed one way the heist ‘em up sequel would differ during a recent livestream: it’s ‘always online’ and so will require an internet connection even when you’re playing solo.

Payday 1 and 2 both also allowed you to play solo, taking on its various robbers vs. cops heists with AI at your side, but it was also playable while offline.
I like first-person shooters where I can crack them open like an egg and cook what’s inside however I please. Perhaps Payday 3 and developers Overkill don’t deserve to be called out in particular for a route many developers have taken, but I do think this is useful information to have before making a purchsasing decision.
Payday 3 will launch on September 21st.
