Payday 3 is launching this September, 10 years after its predecessor. Fans of the series are excited about it, but there is some cause for frustration over certain design choices. Critical among them is the revelation that the game will be always online, even when playing the single-player mode.
Speaking during a live stream, brand director Almir Listo says, “You will be able to play by yourself, but I do believe you will have to have a connection in order to play.” They say this is “because it’s made in Unreal Engine and cross-progression and cross-play, I do believe we need you to be online.”
