Payday 3 promised players an offline mode 20 months ago, now Starbreeze says it’s “not feasible”

Payday 3, launched in 2023 by Starbreeze, faces challenges in stabilizing its core mechanics and improving player experience. The game struggles to attract players, with Steam statistics showing Payday 2 consistently exceeding 30,000 daily players, while Payday 3 fails to reach significant numbers. The anticipated offline mode, promised in February 2024 as part of Operation Medic Bag, has not materialized nearly 20 months later, and general manager Jonas Skantz indicated it is no longer feasible due to resource constraints. Player sentiment reflects disappointment over the slow progress and low priority of the offline mode, especially since Payday 2 supports offline play. Starbreeze is focusing on enhancing core mechanics and engine upgrades for Payday 3, but the offline mode remains sidelined for now. Players are encouraged to explore other crime-themed games or engage with the Payday community on Discord.
