upcoming looter shooter payday 3 is the latest casualty of the ongoing trend of games being always online.
In recent years, more and more games focused on online multiplayer have required you to have an internet connection at all times in order to play. It turns out that Payday 3 is the next game for players who need to be always online, which isn’t entirely surprising considering it’s an online multiplayer game (thanks Eurogamer). Here’s a recent Payday 2 livestream hosted by game developer Starbreeze’s Global Brand Director, Almir Listo, which you can check out below.
During the live stream, some viewers asked if there would be an “offline mode, such as playing solo,” to which Listo replied, “No. You can play by yourself, but I believe you must have an internet connection.” Sequential play because It’s made in Unreal Engine, which uses cross-processing, [and] cross play. I do believe we need you online. ”
At first glance, you might not see a problem with multiplayer games that require a constant internet connection, but the problem has less to do with the game itself and more to do with the mod. ShrekDamage, a player on the Payday subreddit on Reddit, noted that Payday 2 “will be around forever” [because] module, [Payday 3] Will survive for a few months until Starbreeze goes out of business. ”
Other fans on the Reddit subreddit suggested that those who already pre-ordered the game should cancel their orders to try and get Starbreeze to “listen to the community,” though the game will launch in September, so things are unlikely to be as complicated as they are now. It’s that easy to change.
Starbreeze shared some gameplay for Payday 3 for the first time last month, revealing the game’s September 21st release date. If you’re not too bothered about the always-on thing, you’ll probably be happy to hear it’s also going to be a Day 1 game on Xbox Game Pass.
