PAYDAY: The Heist celebrates 1 year of heists!

PAYDAY: The Heist has been out for 1 year! During the year we have robbed banks, run away from the cops, been ambushed by thugs, saved inmates, dropped CEO’s from sky-high, disrupted money transports, stolen blood, interrupted pool parties and interrogated taxmen with gloves of silk. More than 700,000 ordinary citizens have donned their masks and started climbing the ladder to become master career criminals.

To commemorate this great day we want to give our community a real payday. We will host another Play-for-Free weekend, where players will be able to play PAYDAY: The Heist for free for a full weekend! In connection with the anniversary, the mask ideas of the community have haunted us. We will release spooky anniversary masks for all our players – for free.

For those of you who like to rock, we release the PAYDAY: The Heist Game Soundtrack on Steam and Bandcamp.com for €5. It will contain:

All 17 tracks in high quality MP3 format (198 kbps)
All 17 tracks in superior quality Wave format (48 kHz, 24 bit)
Additional sound effect free versions of the tracks that have sound effects
Exclusively for the Steam buyers, an all-new Venetian mask pack – if you have both PAYDAY and its soundtrack on your Steam account you get four new and unique in-game masks!
Exclusively for the Bandcamp.com buyers, a package of PAYDAY themed answering machine messages, ring tones and text message signals!
Music remix material for seven of the tracks, so that you can make your own remixes of select PAYDAY tracks!
