Starbreeze Announces Major Updates for Payday 3 Following Poor Performance

In response to underwhelming sales and player engagement, Payday 3 will receive significant updates including an offline mode and gameplay improvements.

Starbreeze acknowledges Payday 3's sales and player numbers are significantly lower than expected, committing to major updates.
A new offline mode and changes to the progression system are among the updates aimed at improving player experience.
The updates, part of 'Operation Medic Bag,' include overhauling matchmaking, UI improvements, and adding a server browser.
Despite the challenges, Starbreeze remains optimistic about Payday 3's long-term success, drawing parallels with other games that rebounded after a rough start.
