Payday 2 was such a gigantic success, the sequel was always going to suffer by comparison. In the sophomore entry, Starbreeze got it everything right - Payday 2 was precisely what fans of the original heist FPS wanted, and over a decade of incremental updates, community sentiment only became more glowing. Payday 3, as Starbreeze told us directly, was a disaster at launch. But more than a year down the road, and with recent Steam reviews now 'mostly positive' on aggregate, the opportunity for redemption is bigger than ever. Enter the latest Payday 3 update. Marking the shooter's anniversary, it fixes some of the most severe problems players have encountered so far and adds features like server browsing, cross-platform voice chat, and a reimagined interface.
