In a quick but drastic shift, Starbreeze has declared it will continue development on 2013’s PAYDAY 2 through both free and paid content, which is in direct contrast to their previous ideology of winding down support for the title and providing any future content for free as part of their “Ultimate Edition” of the game.
In a move that proves developer Overkill lives up to their name, Payday 2 received MORE content as part of the recent “Spring Break” event (why they didn’t title it ‘Spring Break-In’ is beyond me). In the Henry’s Rock Heist, players will be able to break into a giant storage facility and steal some giant gold boxes. It seems right that the heist is named after Mr. Jones (his name is actually Henry, Indiana was the dog) but, unfortunately, this event appears to only be available on PC.
If Insane Clown Posse taught us anything, it's to be wary of clowns wielding axes. PAYDAY 2 went just a little bit further to showcase that axe-clowns are nothing compared to the sheer police-murdering power of clowns armed with shotguns. Now you can finally relieve the bureaucracy of their possessions on the go as a full four-player PAYDAY 2 lands on the Switch.
If there's a new console on the market, you can almost guarantee that the folks at Overkill Software are already hard at work porting a version of PAYDAY 2 to it. The Nintendo Switch is no different, and, as announced during April's Nintendo Direct, the first person heisting experience is on its way to the console this winter.
To celebrate E3 and just to be all around "nice guys," publisher 505 Games is giving away 5 million copies of PayDay 2 on Steam. Yes, it's limited. But 5 million? There's a good chance to snag the four player co-op shooter that we reviewed back in 2013 and gave a solid 4.5 out of 5 to.
PayDay 2 saw a release last year on consoles with an edition dubbed "Crimewave" - the game included a ton of content from the PC version all bundled up into a nice package for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 player. Consistent support for the game came in update after update, so much so, we've gone to update twelve.
Last Friday's Internet outage meant we're a little behind with some news stories from last week, so pardon us as we get caught up with a few things here. First up, the latest DLC for PAYDAY 2 adds some content from everyone's favorite new action hero, John Wick.
Despite its ups and downs, PAYDAY 2 has weathered the storm and is still going strong. When the console version, PAYDAY 2: Crimewave Edition was first released last year, the promise of the same content (both paid and free) that the PC players were enjoying would be coming. Last month, it finally arrived as "The Big Score."
Initially released in 2013, PAYDAY 2 has gone through quite a few changes over the years. Some have been good, and others...not so much. But one thing’s for certain, the Payday 2 train is still chugging along with no immediate signs of slowing down. One good reason for that is the currently-ongoing Housewarming Community Event.
A little over a year after its release, the console version of PAYDAY 2 for the PlayStation 4 is getting a bulk of the content that's been available on the PC for the past few years. The good news for everyone that owns the Crimewave Edition is that most of the content will be free.
The latest paid DLC for PAYDAY 2 has arrived, the "Wolf Pack" DLC. Fans of the original PAYDAY: The Heist may recall this particular bit of content as it is a reworking/revamp of the same. The good news here is that if you already bought that content, you're getting this updated one for free.
That latest DLC pack for PAYDAY 2 arrives bearing goats. Developer Overkill has teamed up with Coffee Stain Studios, the developers behind the bizarre Goat Simulator, to bring the Goat Simulator Heist. In addition to a new goat themed two-day heist, the DLC includes a new shotgun, four new farm-themed melee weapons, four new masks, and new patterns and materials.
