The release of PAYDAY 3 is imminent, and then the whole world will be free to commit heists all over New York City. While the official release date is set for September 21, 2023, the truth is likely to be more nuanced, as is the case with many contemporary live-service games.
Starbreeze, the game’s developer, has announced that a “Play Early” beta will give select gamers access to the game up to three days before the official release. Detailed instructions on how to participate in the game’s early access period and release dates for different regions are provided below.

How long till the PAYDAY 3 Early Access begins, and when does it begin?
There is currently just one way to gain access to the game before its official release. Players who have not yet purchased the game can do so only if they have pre-ordered either the Silver or Gold editions. If you’ve already pre-ordered the game but want to jump in right away, you can upgrade your edition and get instant access to the game on the platform you originally purchased it for.
