When Payday 3 was released on September 21, the game received countless expectations from gamers. But gradually over time, support gradually disappeared. Instead, there was almost immediate backlash from the majority of players due to technical and performance issues that made Payday 3 almost impossible to experience smoothly. Server issues along with the online-only requirement disappointed players, and it’s not surprising that Payday 3’s overall reviews were largely negative on Steam shortly after its release.
Despite the game having a peak user base of 69,112 during its first weekend of launch, Payday 3 saw a significant drop in player numbers. The evidence is that in the past 7 days, the average number of gamers logging into the game was only 1,595 people – a very disappointing number and a decrease of more than 40 times compared to the first week. Notably, Payday 2 – the predecessor version of Payday 3 even saw the highest number of players in the past 7 days, up to 46,138. This makes many people wonder if Payday 3 is dead.
And indeed, there are signs that Payday 3 is gradually approaching its end. On forums, many gamers bitterly admit the fact that the number of players has decreased too quickly and there are too few left, causing the matchmaking process, although no longer having technical errors like before, still takes a long time because Almost no one plays. This also stems from the fact that Payday 3 failed miserably in the first 1-2 weeks since its launch, thereby burning most of the confidence and patience of gamers.
Payday 3’s last chance probably lies in the fact that a major update is coming soon, this November as revealed by developer Starbreeze Studios. There’s still a long way to go and only time can tell whether Payday 3 is truly dead, or will revive strongly like Cyberpunk 2077 did in the past.
