The Payday 3 roadmap for the remainder of 2023 and the majority of 2024 has been revealed. After about a week of severe matchmaking issues due to the servers being incapable of handling the high number of players during launch, Starbreeze has not only resolved the problems but has revealed their plans for patches and fixes for the rest of the year. Combining this with their prior reveal for the game’s DLC schedule, we have quite a lot of heists and other content scheduled for Year 1. Here’s what to expect in the roadmap for Payday 3 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
