First Update for PAYDAY 3 Delayed Again
Almost a month after the launch of PAYDAY 3, the highly anticipated first update, which promises over 200 improvements, has been delayed once again. A new release date has yet to be announced.
"We have identified some issues that need to be resolved before we can release the update," explained Elisabeth Elvestad, Community and Influencer Manager at Starbreeze, on the game's Discord server. "This is currently our top priority."
Player Reactions and Criticism of the Situation
The news of the additional delay has caused unrest among players. "They really messed up the launch," commented one Reddit user in reference to the game developer Starbreeze.
The Issues with PAYDAY 3
Players are still facing numerous issues, including matchmaking errors, empty lobbies, and a frustrating progression system. While some of the major bugs have been fixed through early server maintenance, many still consider the game to be lacking compared to PAYDAY 2.
Future Plans and Player Hopes
Despite the delays, players are hopeful for future updates. If PAYDAY 3's roadmap is followed, players can expect another quality of life improvement update and the first DLC, Syntax Error, in November.
The Current State of PAYDAY 3
On Steam, 60% of user reviews for PAYDAY 3 are negative. Meanwhile, PAYDAY 2 continues to enjoy great popularity and has reclaimed its spot in the top 50 most played games on Steam.
