Step out of retirement and dive back into a life of crime as part of the Payday Gang, feared by law enforcement and envied by fellow criminals wherever they go. Years after their reign of terror over Washington DC ended, the crew is forced out of early retirement by a new, ominous threat. The legendary Payday Crew, dreaded by both the law and the criminal underworld, is back. Torn from their peaceful retirement, they return to the world of crime to confront a menace born from the chaos they once created.

To identify and eliminate this new threat, the Crew relocates from Washington DC to New York City. A new city means new challenges and new opportunities for a mastermind with a plan. Indulge your greed and go wild in PAYDAY 3. Besides gold, cash, and jewelry, you'll have the chance to amass an impressive collection of weapons, cosmetics, and accolades.

However, it's not as simple as just showing up and grabbing the loot. You'll need to work hard and plan meticulously to escape with as much as you can. Gain experience, unlock new skills, and master various weapons to tackle increasingly difficult challenges.

A successful heister knows that planning, hard work, and a bit of luck are essential for a successful heist. In PAYDAY 3, players have the freedom to decide how to execute their heist—whether through stealth or a full-on assault, whether to release hostages or use them as leverage, and whether to go solo or bring friends along. The choices are limitless and will significantly alter the gameplay.

Not just anyone is fit to stand by your side for a heist. PAYDAY 3 is best enjoyed with close friends, whether old or new. The PAYDAY series has always valued the bonds formed through adversity and aims to reflect that in the actions and dialogues of our heisters within the game, and through our community outside of it.
