As of September 21st, Payday 3 has been officially released after many years of waiting. But now that the game has launched, it is receiving a rather lukewarm response by fans of the franchise.
Currently, there have been a few server issues that have plagued Payday 3 causing many gamers to wait for long periods of time just to get in missions, if they can even gain access at all.
What Are The Reasons For Server Issues For Payday 3?
At the moment, there has only been a small amount of information provided by the Payday 3 Twitter/X account regarding their server issues.
The information is that currently servers are being overloaded by the amount of players attempting to log into the game and load the different heists that are available.
Due to the servers being overloaded, there are only a limited set of responses the developers can make to fix this issue.
They are currently attempting to expand the servers, so as to make room for more gamers, but this poses a separate problem. Every time the server is shut down and restarted more players are attempting to load in, which overloads the system once again.
Until the servers are expanded to the point that they can tolerate a large amount of players at one time, there will be constant server issues. However, at the moment the developers are actively working on this problem and keeping players in the loop as they make changes.
It is important to those at Starbreeze Studios to ensure players have a smooth gameplay experience with Payday 3.

How Are Fans of the Payday Franchise Responding to These Issues?
When it comes to issues like these in video games, there will be many complaints from gamers, especially when a game first releases.
Many gamers hope that once a game launches it will be ready to enjoy, but so far this hasn’t been the case. Payday 3 is already struggling to handle the players that are attempting to heist, at this moment in time.
Whilst the developers have been working on this issue for Payday 3, many of the fanbase have taken to Twitter/X to display their anger towards these problems.
The main comment that many players have brought up is the fact that they have paid a lot of money to play this game and it hasn’t worked properly for nearly three days.
Depending on what version players ordered will have dictated how much they paid for the game. Those who bought the biggest bundle, which cost up to $90 will likely be the most annoyed with the server issues.
These players had early access, which also had a few server problems, and that has caused them up to six days worth of server issues in total.
