The launch of Payday 3 faced significant challenges, primarily due to server issues that plagued the launch day and extended throughout the opening weekend. This has obviously angered the player base, and in response, Starbreeze Studios apologized, and assured the community they are actively addressing the issue, with the Payday 3 first patch originally set to be released at the start of October.
While the game’s first post-release update was originally set to be released during its first week, the developer announced a delay, pushing the update to sometime in “mid-October.” Well, we’re past here in mid-October already and there’s still nothing.
Starbreeze has finally given an update on the situation over on Twitter, where the devs apologized for the lack of communication, and confirmed that the patch hasn’t been released due to some issues tied to it that needs to be addressed first.
Heisters, we’re sorry for the lack of communication regarding the first patch. We have identified some issues that need to be fixed before we can bring it to you, but rest assured that this is the main priority for our teams. https://t.co/IBDPctk0ce

We're spending additional time revamping our patching process to ensure that we can have a steady cadence and momentum with patches going forward. We are careful with giving you an ETA right now, as we want to make sure we can deliver before we do so.

We, like many other Payday 3 fans, are eagerly awaiting this update to drop so that we can get back to our heists. Let’s hope that the wait won’t be too long now.
If you haven’t played the game yet, go read our review right here where we state, “Payday 3 is history repeating, a game that is lacking at launch, setting up the foundations for something that may end up being extremely good in a couple of years. This is not how things should go, but it is how it turns out sometimes, and Starbreeze just needs to listen to the players and react accordingly.”
