PAYDAY 3 is one of the most anticipated cooperative titles of this 2023 that will allow us to enjoy alone or accompanied by friends (or other players) a lot

The official Steam page for Deep Silver and Starbreeze’s PAYDAY 3 game has been updated to show the use of this ever-controversial third-party DRM.

If past Payday games are anything to go by, you can play offline with just bots.

You wouldn’t want to, given the choice, and it’s not the point of the game, but you can.

Well, you can play “offline with bots”, but, unless something has changed since last I checked, it’ll be always online, which means that even if you want to play offline you need a constant connection to their servers anyway.

Almost feels like they’re going out of their way to see how many features that harm users they can add and still be able to sell well…

Last I checked, Payday 2 has had actual offline play since launch. It is Payday 3 that won’t have a proper offline mode.

Unless this got silently changed somewhere?

I was talking about Payday 3, probably should’ve made that more obvious. PDTH and PD2 both work completely offline as far as I’m aware.

Ahh I see, apologies for the confusion. Yeah I totally don’t get the regression in that regard
