Payday 3 Early Access release date and time for all regions

Payday 3 recently concluded a successful beta phase and showed off a number of stats to hint at the shooter’s possible success upon public release. The game itself is slated to go live for all supported platforms on September 21, 2023, but a percentage of players will get to enjoy it earlier than others due to different editions being available.

Deep Silver’s upcoming heist-shooter title was developed on newer engines to bring in a better gameplay experience with higher graphics quality. Payday 3 went live with its servers in the beta phase and provided the community free access to try the game out, which helped the developers tick all the boxes required for the title’s release.

This article will highlight the date and time for Early Access to Payday 3 across all regions.

What’s included in the Season Pass?

The developers are following the popular trend of locking certain playable content behind a paywall. Players with a Season Pass (Silver or Gold) will be able to participate and enjoy more content after the game launches.

Although the base game would come with a list of different heists and adventurous maps, the Season Pass would allow developers to expand it even further and promote some microtransactions on the side.
