Payday 3 Dev Apologizes Profusely For Poor Launch, Discusses Potential Offline Mode
1 min read
The highly anticipated co-op heist game Payday 3 just released across console and PC, and while the game’s launch numbers were massive, the game’s debut was not without issue. Widespread server issues marred the launch and caused frustration among the playerbase. Even Starbreeze’s CEO responded to and apologized for the server issues at launch. Now, global brand director Almir Listo and lead producer Andreas Häll Penninger have responded to the issues in a Twitch stream where they confirmed Payday 3 could get an offline mode some day.
“This launch did not go as expected. We understand that many of you are extremely frustrated and angry, and we are too,” Penniger said. Listo and Penniger apologized again and again during the hour-long live Q&A with fans on Twitch.
As for an offline mode, Listo said, “We cannot give a clear yes or no answer on this topic because it’s [been] four days since launch. We did not foresee the incredible difficulties you’ve had logging on.”
