The highly anticipated first major patch for Payday 3 has finally been deployed, and it’s a game-changer. Starbreeze Studios has rolled out update 1.01, addressing a “massive” number of issues that have been affecting the cooperative heist shooter since its launch. This update is a significant step towards stabilizing the game’s performance and enhancing the overall player experience.
Patch 1.01: What’s New?
The update brings a slew of changes, including the addition of pre-order and edition-specific items for all players, a fix for the “Cleanin’ It Out” achievement, and updates to aim assist on PlayStation 5. Players can now also turn the camera during the full tased effect, a small but significant quality-of-life improvement.
Addressing Launch Issues
Payday 3’s launch was far from smooth, with server issues that led to public apologies from Starbreeze CEO Tobias Sjögren. The studio has been working diligently to rectify these issues, and this patch is a testament to their commitment to improving the game. The patch notes, available on Steam and other platforms, detail the extensive list of fixes and adjustments made.
Player Base and Future Expectations
Despite boasting 3.1 million players shortly after launch, Payday 3 has seen a decline in its player base, with more gamers currently playing Payday 2. This update is crucial for Starbreeze to regain the trust of their players and build momentum for Payday 3.
With this update, Starbreeze Studios aims to rectify the rocky start of Payday 3 and provide a more stable and enjoyable gaming experience. The comprehensive list of fixes in patch 1.01 reflects the developer’s dedication to their community and the future of the Payday franchise.
