Publisher Deep Silver and developer Starbreeze haveannounced the upcoming technical beta forPayday 3. The co-op heist shooter will be available to everyone from September 8-11. According to Starbreeze, the test will serve as a stress test of sorts for thePayday 3servers ahead of its September 21 launch.
Because it is open to all, the technical open beta will not require a key to gain access. Instead, anyone can download and join the test. If you played the recent closed beta test, the content in this open test will be the same. Apparently, it’s based on an April 2023 build and not a final representation ofPayday 3.
It’s a great chance to check out the gameplay ofPayday 3ahead of its release later this month.
One heist, but all difficulties
Even though only one heist is available during the beta, all original characters and all difficulties will be available. The Infamy level cap for the beta will be 22 while the Weapon level cap is 8. Also, the beta will include the following features:
