Payday 3 Developers Admit to 'Disastrous' Launch, Seek Redemption

Starbreeze acknowledges the unfinished state of Payday 3 at launch and outlines plans for improvement.

Payday 3 launched with severe technical issues, making the game nearly unplayable for weeks.
Starbreeze's leadership changes included the departure of CEO Tobias Sjögren amid unmet sales expectations.
Developers admitted to overconfidence from Payday 2's success, leading to hasty decisions and a product that didn't resonate with players.
Current player numbers for Payday 3 are significantly lower compared to its predecessor, Payday 2.
Starbreeze aims to refocus on core gameplay elements to recapture the success of Payday 2 in a modern context.
