How to Download Payday 3 Open Beta

Out of seemingly nowhere, Starbreeze Studio revealed Payday 3 open beta, slated to be available from September 8 to September 11.

In recent news, Starbreeze Studio revealed that they’ll be running a Payday 3 open beta. For those unaware, the Payday 3 open beta is only available for Xbox Series X|S and PC via Steam.

What is the Payday 3 open beta?

The Payday 3 open beta is for players to “push their servers to the limit.”

According to IGN, here’s what the open beta offers:

• The original gang: Dallas, Hoxton, Chains and Wolf. The iconic clown-masked characters that made the Payday franchise infamous are all playable.
• No rest for the wicked is a Payday 3 bank heist, that charges the players with relieving a small bank of the cash cluttering up their vault. It’s their own choice to go stealth without anyone noticing how the cash evaporated or go loud to really experience that NYC robbery feeling.
• All difficulties will be playable, level cap is Infamy Level 22 and Weapon Level Progression is at eight.

“Since this is a technical test so if you do participate in the BETA, we’d appreciate it if you’d help us put pressure on our servers by logging on and matchmaking all at once on Sunday, September 10th at 01:00 CEST as well as 18:00 CEST (check the times for your timezone here) until something breaks.

This is the one time we ask you to help destroy our stuff, so please, take the opportunity!”

Considering it’s only available for around four days, make the most of the experience before the official release date on September 21.
