Payday 3 release TIME, launch date, pre-load and PlayStation delay

Payday 3 has a September 21 release date (Image: STARBREEZE) Payday 3 fans are counting down to the release of the first-person heist game on PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC. Already available in early access for Premium Edition owners, the third game in the Payday series has a September 21 release date and 4pm BST UK launch time for Standard Edition users. To ensure you can jump in the moment the game goes live, pre-order customers can actually pre-load Payday 3 on PlayStation and Xbox ahead of launch. With Payday 3 weighing in at more than 40GB, it’s worth downloading early in order to avoid issues. Unfortunately, however, the launch of Payday 3 isn’t without issues, especially on PlayStation. According to developer Starbreeze, the release of Payday 3 cosmetics have been delayed on PS5. Gold and Silver customers won’t receive their bonus skins and items until around October 5. Starbreeze explains more: “The launch of PAYDAY 3 is the biggest thing we’ve done as a studio so far. And since we don’t do releases of this scale often, we have run into technical issues with cosmetic DLCs on PlayStation 5. “As a consequence of this, PS5 players will not have access to their bonus cosmetics, which includes the Gold/Silver version specific items, the pre order bonus items, and also the Collector’s Edition bonus items on launch day.” Fortunately, the delayed cosmetics won’t affect progression or the overall gameplay experience on PS5. The Payday sequel shifts the action to New York, where players can attempt heists using stealth or going in guns blazing. “In Payday 3 the choice is put in the hands of the players, deciding how to tackle the heist, whether you sneak or go in guns blazing, whether you let your hostages go or keep them around as pawns, whether you go at it alone or bring friends. “The choices are endless and in your hands, they will vastly change how the game plays.”
