By now, you should know that Payday 3 will release on PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5. Those on PC and Xbox Series X/S console with an Xbox Game Pass subscription will have access to the game as soon as it launches.

Unfortunately, it appears that those with an Xbox One console are out of luck. This is a current-gen title, so there are no virtual heists on PS4 or Xbox One consoles or Nintendo Switch, in case you were wondering. We do think it is a bit odd, considering the game's rather low PC system requirements.
