Looks like the Payday 3 update has been delayed…again

It’s not been a great launch for Payday 3. As well as experiencing issues with matchmaking, the new entry in the bank-robbing FPS has also had its first major patch delayed. Now, the developer has issued yet another apology, saying that the anticipated update needs “additional time.”

Over on Twitter, the official Payday 3 account apologized to fans for the “lack of communication regarding the first patch.”. Starbreeze Studios says it’s found more issues to rectify before the patch launches.

An additional post underneath notes due to the additional time needed to tend to the game, the studio can’t provide an ETA on when fixes will launch just yet. A third tweet adds a suffix to this apology, saying that both the patch and some more news are inbound. We just don’t know when.

Maybe it’ll be worth it in the end

While the studio did do some maintenance to make Payday 3‘s matchmaking better, one of the major criticisms with the game is the always-online feature. This means that even if you want to play a solo campaign, you’re still required to connect to the server.

However, there is a possibility that an offline mode could come to the game. In a previous , the team said that, because of server issues at launch, “we are discussing every option available to us, including offline mode.”

Hopefully, Payday 3 will eventually become the game fans want it to be. At the moment, it has a “Mixed” review score on , with more than a few unhappy customers. Starbreeze has a chance to turn things around, though.
