![]() Not only do players get all the previous console missions, but Payday 2 on the Switch also introduces one brand new playable character: a 22-year-old Japanese hacker named Joy. Speaking of content and additions, the Switch version is in my opinion, the ultimate way of playing Payday 2 in a console. While these additions bring me hope as to what can be done with the Switch’s HD rumble in the future, I just wish that developer OVERKILL implemented it better with Payday 2’s content to fully utilize the hardware. In my experience, HD rumble only added a small touch of realism to the overall experience, by offering distinct levels of vibrations depending on whether I was firing my gun, or lock picking a bank’s vault. New to the Switch is its use of HD rumble through the joy-cons. Beyond that, however, I would say that for anyone that was worried about performance, Payday 2 on the Switch is no slouch. While this was solved with a simple reload of the mission, it left me worried that it could ruin the first time experience for many newcomers. Most notably, the game’s stealth tutorial gave me frames that were sometimes in the single digits. ![]() The PlayStation 4, and Xbox One missions were no slouch either, but I did notice that the Switch had a tougher time keeping a steady framerate on those occasions. To my surprise, it handled the original content from its PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 releases quite well. Overkill states that this is due to the game being created using the Unreal Engine.Payday 2 (Switch) – image for this review provided by Starbreeze.įor most, myself included, picking up Payday 2 on the Switch is a question of how the platform can handle it. Console versions also will be the same version as the game on PC platforms, unlike its predecessor. On January 1, 2023, a teaser trailer titled A New Criminal Dawn was released, revealing its logo. Payday 3 will be developed using Unreal Engine. ![]() In March 2021, Koch Media committed to pay €50 million to assist in the game's development and marketing, including more than 18 months of post-launch support using the games as a service model. ![]() Publisher Prime Matter announced in May 2016 that Payday 3 was in development at Overkill Software, after Starbreeze acquired the rights to the intellectual property for around US$30 million. Payday 3 will take place in the 2020s, intended to add more depth to the Payday Gang's crimes with game-changing differences like more advanced surveillance or the rise of cryptocurrency. From teaser images, one of the missions will take place at the "Gold & Sharke Incorporated" bank. The original crew of characters originating from Payday: The Heist ("Dallas", "Chains", "Wolf", and "Hoxton") will appear in Payday 3, and the game will take place mainly in New York. The game will take place after the ending of Payday 2 where the heisters went separate ways and left their lives of crime, but something re-motivates the Payday Gang to continue the life of crime. Payday 3 (stylised as PAYDAY 3) is an upcoming first-person shooter game developed by Overkill Software and Starbreeze Studios and published by Prime Matter, as a trilogy to Payday The Heist from the same series.
