We're familiar with the engine and the pitfalls that come with it and are doing our best to make PAYDAY 2 on PC a smooth experience.It has to be said, we can't focus on every single aspect of the game at once, and that some fixes will take time to implement and test thoroughly - The last thing anyone wants is to make things worse, so don't fret if something is not immediately fixed!~Sidetrack Games :dallas:PAYDAY 2: Update 241 ChangelogUpdate Size: 33.9 MBGameplayReduced the interaction timers on upgrading drills/saws/thermal lance from 10 seconds to 3 secondsFixed carried lootbags being consumed when the player fails an interactionFixed floating hands being visible while looking through camerasFixed enemy flashbang detonation timers being too long on higher diffi...

Starbreeze passes Payday 2 over to a new developer, but it couldn't be in better hands

by editor@pcgamesn.com

I feel my bones creaking as I say this, but Payday 2 is 12 years old. Ugh. Despite its age, it's still going strong - even some of the biggest names on our best co-op games list would kill for the kind of longevity it's enjoyed. It's going so strong, in fact, that it's continually embarrassing its successor, Payday 3, which is still struggling to reach the same heights despite dozens of updates, major reworks, and plenty of new heists. Knowing that something needs to change, Starbreeze has decided to put even more behind Payday 3 in order to turn the ship around, but to do so, it's passing Payday 2 over to a new studio. However, it couldn't be in safer hands. Read the rest of the story...

Payday 2 launches DLC subscription service three weeks after raising prices

by editor@pcgamesn.com

25/09/2025 Update: Starbreeze head of commerical, Gustav Nisser has told Game Developer that the DLC price hike was "completely unrelated" to the launch of the subscription service. Remember owning things? Back in the day when you'd buy a cartridge for your Game Boy Color and it was yours? Now you've got digital downloads that the publisher can revoke at any time, regardless of your cash purchase, and Game Pass titles you can play so long as you keep paying Microsoft your monthly dues. I didn't have Payday 2 launching a subscription service on my 2025 bingo card but, judging the state of the industry, maybe I should have. Read the rest of the story...
