The release date and time countdown for when Payday 3 early access will come out and start is finally here! However, if you wish to play with friends entirely for free, you must wait a few more days for the Xbox Game Pass release date.
Payday 3 is the ultimate bank-robbing simulator. It allows gamers to live out the fantasy of robbing their local bank without the consequences of getting mobbed by the police and locked behind bars for years. It’s a fan-favorite series because of its multiplayer madness, and everyone can recreate the opening to The Dark Knight entirely for free by waiting for the Xbox Game Pass release date.
Payday 3 early access release date
The early access release date for Payday 3 is September 18th.
It is coming to PlayStation, PC, and Xbox. Alas, it is next-gen only, meaning it is not on PS4 or Xbox One, and is therefore restricted to current-gen consoles, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
Over on PC, you can play through either Steam or the Epic Games store. Either that or Windows where you can play for free if you are subscribed to Xbox Game Pass.
If you have opted for early access, then the time for putting on your clown mask and bagging millions of dollars is here.

September has been a fantastic month for Xbox Game Pass members. The release date for Lies of P on Game Pass is imminent, and it’s been dubbed the spiritual successor to Bloodborne.
