Unfortunately, this is becoming a common trend for multiplayer games, and as such should have been expected, but it remains to be seen how much of a deal breaker this is for fans.
Payday 3 is set for release on the PS5, Xbox Series, and PC on September 21st, 2023. It will also be a day-one title on Game Pass for console and PC.
