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...
