PAYDAY 2 - 7 year Anniversary!

Dear heisters,

Today is a very special day, as we celebrate the 7th anniversary of PAYDAY 2. Since its release, the game and its player base has grown spectacularly. Even now, seven years down the line, we are seeing incredible numbers in terms of how many of you are playing the game each day.

We are immensely grateful to you, the players. Whether you’re a PAYDAY 2 veteran who’s been with us all the time, or a relatively new player that’s only just discovered us this year, we extend to you a heartfelt THANK YOU.

Our player community is one of the strongest in the world for any game, and the engagement and support we feel from all of you is a great motivator for us going forward.

At the studio, we’re always working hard to produce new content, and along with the latest DLCs we’ve also worked on a gift for you, the 7th Anniversary Update, released today!

For more details about the content of the update, see here. Full patch notes can be found below.

We’ve also produced a new piece of art to celebrate the occasion. You can find it on our campaign site linked above.

All of us here at OVERKILL are feeling very good about heading into the PAYDAY future along with you, our community. We hope you feel the same!

Keep those helmets flying,

Almir
