​

The Desync Beta goes into the next round. Besides all the new animations and fixes, this week we added new sound effects as well. Stay close to your crew members and listen to the beautiful sounds of a reloading weapon!

Next thursday we plan to update the CrimeSpree! The Update will include new modifiers, new cosmetics, tweaked Heist suggestions, and much more! Sadly this will mean, that your ongoing Crime Spree will be ended therefore we advice everyone to cash out before!

Stay tuned,

If you haven't been in the loop, PAYDAY 2: Ultimate Edition is one big pack with all DLC for PAYDAY 2. You will get the base game and all the content that goes with it. In short, there now are two new options on the store page: The PAYDAY 2: Ultimate Edition game, and the PAYDAY 2: Ultimate Edition upgrade

Instead of paying a bit over $200 for everything like you had to before if you wanted all the DLC we’re selling the Ultimate Edition upgrade for about $44.99. If you’ve bought PAYDAY 2 at some point in the past, you will get a 10$ discount on the Ultimate Edition upgrade. Any DLC you have purchased in the price will automatically be deducted from the upgrade price based on the DLC you own.

This is the next step for PAYDAY. One big step, where we make it easier for all players to get their hands on the biggest game we’ve ever done.

I would like remind you that any DLC going forward (besides the Ethan and Hila Character Pack) for PAYDAY 2 is going to be 100% free. Like we have said in the past we will continue to support PAYDAY 2 with more updates, heists, weapons and other fun stuff.












One last thing. As we broke our all time high record for players online, we are giving all community members a Golden Dallas Mask. Why? Because every heister loves gold, of course. We wanted to highlight this amazing feat done by our community of loyal players robbing banks like never before. Thank you all! We salute you.

That’s all for now, now go throw them granadas!
