Payday 3 will require a permanent internet connection

 

We recently learned that Payday 3 is coming in September 2023. But it seems that there is bad news for those waiting for this game.

The Payday 3 Community Manager confirmed that the game would require an internet connection at all times to play, which made players unhappy and even caused some to cancel their pre-bookings in protest.

This is not the only game in 2023 that forces us to be constantly connected, as it happened previously with Redfall and it was also announced that Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will need to connect to the Internet. And each time, the audience's reaction to the issue is absolutely negative. Something the team behind Payday 3 has become painfully familiar with.

Yesterday, Almir Listo, Payday Community Manager, made a broadcast while playing Payday 2 and answered the players' questions at the same time, Listo was asked if Payday 3 has an offline play feature, which Listo denied having, and said that this is because of the gameplay systems The joint and the joint progression in the game.

You will be able to play on your own, but I think you must have a connection in order to play because the game is developed in Unreal Engine, and it is a game that uses cross-play and progression, and I believe that you will need to be connected to the Internet to play.

The Payday subreddit is currently filled with posts about the requirement to always be online. Some have repeated the same complaints made towards other always-online games, such as the possibility that the game may someday become unplayable if the servers are offline, losing game progress if the connection is lost, and being a harsh gaming experience for anyone outside of their hometown.

Some players have even taken action against the publisher and developer by canceling pre-bookings, saying that this "may be the only way the developer will listen to the community."

We knew that PAYDAY 3 would be upgraded to Unreal Engine 5 after launch.
