Those who always had the perfect heist plan can gather their friends to make it happen in the third installment of the PAYDAY franchise. PAYDAY 3 is a co-op game that will put you and your gang in several heist situations.

What is in the PAYDAY 3 closed beta?

Deep Silver and Starbreeze will randomly choose a number of players to participate in the technical closed beta for six days, from Aug. 2 to 7. Those interested can sign-up to play the game on either Steam or Xbox Series S|X.

If you are one of the lucky ones selected to play in the closed beta, you’ll be able to play as a member of the original gang—Dallas, Hoxton, Chains, and Wolf—each with their own unique skill set. Fans will recognize them as the famous characters who wore the clow-masks from the original PAYDAY.

You’ll also be able to play the No Rest For The Wicked heist. All difficulties will be playable, the level cap is Infamy Level 22 and Weapon Level Progression is at eight. Although there is only one available heist in the closed beta, most weaponry and cosmetics will be included.
