Due to adisastrous launch, Starbreeze has issued astatementblaming the large quantities of players trying to get into the game being too much for its matchmaking software.

“We are disappointed in the issues our playerbase has faced during our launch weekend, but we are confident in our core product and the quality of Payday 3—and all available metrics point to it,” Starbreeze CEO Tobias Sjögren said. “We have a lot of diligent and consistent work ahead of us to regain community trust, but we will work hard to do it.”
As a result, the team are now “looking at [the] possibility to add some sort of offline mode.” This would be a good addition for those who wish to playPayday 3solo as the game will become “less dependent on online services.” Starbreeze also reveals it is currently looking into a new matchmaking services partner for the title.
This may be another reminder to developers that requiring a constant online connection is not always the best idea. The mistake was also brought up earlier this year with the release of Arkane Studio’sRedfallin May. HopefullyPayday 3will be fixed sooner rather than later.
