We salute you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Payday 3 launched in September 2023 to strong player numbers that quickly withered away, due to server issues that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/payday-3-devs-ceo-apologizes-for-server-issues-at-launch\">forced then Starbreeze CEO Tobias Sj\u00f6gren to apologize<\/a>. &#8220;We are so sorry that the infrastructure didn&#8217;t hold up as expected, and although it&#8217;s impossible to prepare for every scenario \u2014 we should be able to do better,&#8221; he said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/starbreeze-ceo-out-after-payday-3-disaster\">before leaving the company<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/payday-3-dev-apologises-for-lack-of-communication-as-mid-october-first-patch-still-a-no-show\">Almost a month after its launch and Starbreeze apologized again<\/a> for its lack of communication, and then just a week later <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/payday-3-dev-apologises-for-radio-silence-explains-mia-first-patch\">said sorry one more time for not delivering a promised patch<\/a> and again going quiet.

According to <a href=\"https:\/\/steamdb.info\/app\/218620\/charts\/\">SteamDB<\/a>, Payday 3 has a 24-hour peak of just 794 compared to Payday 2&#8217;s 11,868, despite the latter launching over a decade ago.<\/p>\n<p><em>Ryan Dinsdale is an IGN freelance reporter.
