Payday 3 has been released, but the initial launch was so problematic that the developers are now suggesting the possibility of adding an offline mode.

Payday 3 has at last made its debut on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. However, players have expressed their discontent with the always-online multiplayer aspect, prompting the developers to contemplate introducing an offline mode.
Payday 3 is an immensely popular first-person heist-shooter developed by Starbreeze Studios and Overkill Software. However, the developers’ choice to make it exclusively online has led to server problems, including persistent lag and disconnections, making it challenging for players to participate in or finish missions.
The online problems have caused the game to receive a “Mostly Negative” rating on Steam in the first few days, with over 22,000 negative reviews as opposed to only 10,000 positive ones.
The matchmaking problems have seen Starbreeze CEO Tobias Sjögren release a statement via their website saying, “Payday 3 matchmaking infrastructure has not performed as tested and expected. Matchmaking software encountered an unforeseen error, which made it unable to handle the massive influx of players. The issue caused an unrecoverable situation for Starbreeze’s third-party matchmaking partner.”
In the same statement, the company says, “In the short-term, this means Starbreeze’s focus is to ensure the player experience. In the long-term, this means evaluating a new partner for matchmaking services and making Payday 3 less dependent on online services.”
So, we may not have an exact answer, but Tobias Sjögren said on Twitter, now X, that those wishing to try the game should check it out on Xbox Game Pass and that “jokes aside,” the team is “looking at the possibility to add some sort of offline mode.”
