Payday 3 Appoints New Creative Leaders After Challenging First Year

Miodrag Kovačević steps down as game director, with Almir Listo and Andreas Häll Penninger taking over to address community concerns.

Payday 3 has struggled with player retention and satisfaction since its release, leading to a leadership change.
Former game director Miodrag Kovačević will now focus on design aspects of the project.
Almir Listo and Andreas Häll Penninger, both familiar figures to the Payday community, will lead the game's creative direction.
Payday 3's player base remains significantly lower than its predecessor, Payday 2, which still enjoys a strong following.
Starbreeze aims to turn the game's fortunes around with new updates and content under the new leadership.
