PAYDAY 3 is launching on Sept. 21, but you can start your life of crime in New York with the PAYDAY crew three days early with early access if you pre-purchase one of the special versions of the game.
With early access, you can start playing PAYDAY 3 on Sept. 18. The third installment in the series will bring the original clown-masked gang members out of retirement and new heists for you and your friends to plan out and get all the goodies you can.
Which versions of PAYDAY 3 get early access?
The Silver and Gold editions of PAYDAY 3 give three-day early access to players who pre-purchase either of those editions. You can only buy them in the digital format, so if you prefer to have a physical copy, you’ll have to wait for the Sept. 21 release.
The Collector edition comes with additional content but it doesn’t grant early access as it’s only sold in the physical form. All editions include the Trifecta Lootbag if pre-ordered, but each edition features different additional content.
