Are you running into an issue where your Payday 3 voucher is not working? If you were one of the players who bought the Silver, Gold, or Collector’s Edition, worry not: your Payday 3 Special Edition content should be accessible in just a few short hours as part of the latest patch. That being said, we’ve got some clarification on how these bonuses will be added to your game and the timing of said bonuses if you’re in the Asia or Japan region.

According to the official Payday 3 Twitter/X page, EU and NA Collector’s Edition owners should be able to start redeeming their voucher codes. For digital purchases, items should start granting to your account within the next 24 hours:
Heisters! Regarding DLC entitlements: EU and NA Collector Edition voucher codes work right now. Digital purchases will update over time, you should start seeing entitlements granted within 24 hours depending on your region. Asia and Japan will work soon, most likely Monday.

As noted in the tweet, it might take a little longer if you’re in the Asia or Japan regions. Those entitlements could take until Monday to properly fulfill, so players in those regions hoping to get their hands on pre-order content this weekend might be out of luck. This also applies to content from Gold and Silver edition purchases:
Gold and Silver Digital purchases will update over time, you should start seeing entitlements granted within 24 hours depending on your region. Asia and Japan will work in the coming days, most likely Monday. https://t.co/e7lWPW7tTh

One last thing to note, players who purchased the regular or Silver edition will not be able to upgrade in order to receive another edition’s benefits. This was also confirmed via the Payday 3 account this morning:
Currently there is no way to upgrade. https://t.co/O1DxTF14VL

Including the word “currently” could mean that they might eventually implement a way for players to upgrade which edition they own, but for the time being, we wouldn’t count on it. Make sure that if you’re going to buy the game, you buy the version you really want.
We’re still waiting on the planned changes to progression that the devs discussed last month. Hopefully this content is enough to hold players over in the meantime.
We’ll be sure to let our readers know as soon as there are more updates.
