Payday 3’s release date has seemingly leaked
Starbreeze’s long-awaited sequel could arrive in September
Payday 3 is seemingly targeting a September release date.
That’s according to highly reliable leaker Aggiornamenti Lumia, a dataminer who regularly reports on listings added to the Xbox and Windows stores before they’re made public, such as product release dates.
“PAYDAY 3 | Release Date: September 21, 2023,” they tweeted on Tuesday.

It’s possible Payday 3’s release date will be confirmed over the coming weeks as part of Summer Game Fest, perhaps during its live kick-off show on Thursday.
Developed by Starbreeze Studios, Payday 3 will officially be published by Plaion’s Prime Matter label this year for PC, Xbox and PlayStation consoles.
Taking place in contemporary New York, the cooperative heist shooter will see the original gang – Dallas, Hoxton, Wolf and Chains – coming out of retirement in a world that has further transitioned into the digital age.
Starbreeze has said software giants, cryptocurrencies, mass surveillance and the Dark Web will play a role in the game, and they will be reflected in updated gadgetry that the gang uses.
The company claimed in January that 2013’s Payday 2 had sold over 40 million copies and boasted the largest community on Steam with over eight million players.
