There’s a new Payday game in the works, but it’s not quite what I expected

The Payday franchise includes the original game and its sequel, Payday 2, which became popular on PC. Payday 3 had a disappointing release, leading to the development of a spin-off titled Payday: Aces High. This new game requires a VR headset for gameplay and focuses on cooperative heists, allowing players to use physical movements to aim and shoot. Players can team up with up to three friends, avoid alarms, and escape with loot to earn cash rewards for better equipment and character development. The game will be released on Steam and the Meta Quest storefront in 2026.
