It’s not unusual nowadays for a AAA recreation to launch, get met with backlash on account of many points, and the studio runs round attempting to make things better. That is true of Payday 3, which noticed matchmaking errors and an absence of offline options leading to less-than-favorable scores for the sport. Happily, developer Starbreeze is on the case, although its subsequent replace will take a bit longer than anticipated.

Initially intending to start out rolling out this week, a Twitter put up from the studio says the group is having to delay the sorely wanted Payday 3 patch. The rationale cited is the replace “wants some adjustments that might require us to undergo console certification once more.” That, and the group needs to “guarantee its stability.”

Heisters. We’re extraordinarily sorry for this, however we have chosen to delay at present’s deliberate patch to make sure its stability. The patch wants some adjustments that might require us to undergo console certification once more. We hope to be able to ship this one for mid-October.

Sadly, we now don’t have any launch date for it, however the put up goes on to say the developer ought to have the ability to ship it out mid-October.

Tuning the heist

Starbreeze did apologize for having to delay the replace, with a second put up beneath saying that the PS5 bonus content material “will stay unredeemable till this patch is prepared.”

On the plus aspect, there’s going to be some extra server upkeep, so quickly after those that occurred final weekend. An extra tweet from the official Payday 3 account says this upkeep can be going forward between “8am-11am CEST on the sixth and tenth of October,” and can hopefully “not be noticeable.”

Whereas it’s very simple guilty the studios themselves when video games are launched in poor states, there are at all times better components to contemplate. From what Starbreeze has mentioned, it sounds just like the group is scrambling to get issues sorted. It’s a disgrace we’re having to attend a bit longer for the replace, however hopefully it simply means a extra substantial and secure patch.
