PayDay 3 Closed Beta Coming Next Week, But Not For All Platforms

The closed beta for PayDay 3 has been announced; it is arriving sooner than you think. Over on Twitter (or X, or whatever we’re calling it now), the game’s official account posted the news along with a link. However, the beta won’t be available on all platforms.

Steam users and XBOX Series S|X owners can check out the upcoming PayDay sequel starting August 2nd. To join the preview, you must either request access from the game’s Steam page or enter via the XBOX Insider portal.

The closed beta will run until August 7th. The full game will be released on multiple platforms on September 21st, 2023.

Heisters! We are thrilled to announce that PAYDAY 3 is hosting a technical Closed Beta from August 2nd to August 7th. Players can sign-up for a chance to play the game on Steam and Xbox Series S|X. Go to https://t.co/SUXnmlMZpL for more information 👊😎 pic.twitter.com/45wnExDz3n

Thankfully, PayDay 3 isn’t trying any of that $70 bullcrap. The base game is $39.99. A Silver Edition is $69.99, and Gold is $89.99. Check out the differences in the versions below.

Are you looking to see if you can run PayDay 3 on PC? The requirements are not too taxing, according to Steam:

If you’re new to the PayDay franchise, it’s a game about heists. A team of four players gears up and attempts to rob or burgle. It can be done via stealth or with wonton violence.

Getting in may be the easy part. However, often you’ll end up having to shoot your way out as the local cops and SWAT show up to make sure you’re not going anywhere with your ill-gotten gains.

PayDay 2 is available on nearly every platform from the past two generations of consoles and is quite affordable. If you want to see if the gameplay is to your liking, I’d suggest picking up that version. It is available for $9.99 on Steam.
