The original Payday is a downloadable title that gathered somewhat of a cult following and proved to be a digital download success. So with the sequel, Overkill Software wanted to top what they had achieved, by simply being Bigger and Better. To do this it was not only time for Payday 2 to evolve its gameplay and in-game content, it was time for the franchise to move into the world of retail, as well as remain in the digital world.
GB: "Of course, Payday 2 has had its fair share of ups and downs as well, in spite of the success that it has enjoyed. For starters, the disparity between the game’s PC and console versions is a major issue that plagued the game for years on end, thanks to the frustrating optimization issues across platforms brought about by the Diesel Engine, which the game was developed on."
Payday 2 launched 10 years ago today, and a constant stream of updates still makes it worth playing ahead of Payday 3.
Starting today, Payday 2 is free at Epic Games Store. The free game offer runs until June 15. Once you claim it, it's yours to keep.
