Payday 3’s release and sales expectations have been discussed by both developer Starbreeze and Embracer, owner of Plaion which co-published the game.
As part of the studio’s interim report, Starbreeze called Payday 3’s launch a “milestone” for the company, adding that “both interest in the game and initial sales exceeded [its] expectations”. It then went on to address the reception Payday 3 has since received.
As previously reported, the game was plagued with matchmaking issues at launch and online-only requirements. Meanwhile, its first promised ‘big’ patch received several delays, before finally going live earlier this month.
