PAYDAY 2: The Next Chapter

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hello heisters,

We’re excited to announce that we’re partnering with Sidetrack Games to support the PC-versions of PAYDAY 2 with quality-of-life improvements and general game fixes.



Sidetrack (formerly known as the M.U.G. Team) is a talented team with deep roots in the PAYDAY modding community. Their work on RAID: World War II showed that they have the skill and perseverance to deliver quality updates over a long time. They know the PAYDAY 2 engine inside and out, and they’ve already gotten started.

The first update goes live this Thursday, October 23, and is focused on the stability of the game and improving the overall player experience.

Collaborating with Sidetrack Games allows Starbreeze to maintain full focus on PAYDAY 3, while PAYDAY 2 continues to deliver value for all players with the dedicated, expert support they deserve.



Join us for a livestream on October 23, where we’ll talk with Sidetrack about the patch in more detail, what comes next, and how you can help shape future improvements.

See you in the safe house.
– Starbreeze
