Payday 3 has DLC confirmed for its first year, with post-launch support in the form of free and paid content coming throughout 2023 and 2024. Here’s everything that has been revealed so far.

Payday 3 may have got off to a rocky start with its lack of updates during the launch period, but Starbreeze is now committing to more regular updates following last month’s Update 1.0.2.

And considering the amount of post-launch support Payday 2 received, making it one of the best co-op games you can play right now, you may be wondering if its successor is also getting any paid content.

So what DLC has been confirmed for Payday 3 so far, and when can we expect to play it?

  • DLC 2 – Boys in Blue (Releasing Spring 2024, free to owners of the Gold & Silver Editions)
  • DLC 3 – The Land of the Free (Releasing Summer 2024, free to owners of the Gold Edition)
  • DLC 4 – Fear and Greed (Releasing Fall 2024, free to owners of the Gold Edition)

These expansions introduce new heists, weapons, and cosmetics to the game to expand the growing list of content.

Additionally, the pre-order bonus Trifecta Lootbag has also been made available to purchase separately. It includes the Venomous Verdigris mask, Cotton Stripes gloves, and Obsidian Glitz suit.

Can you play Payday 3 paid DLC without owning the DLC?

With the launch of Syntax Error, you will be able to play Payday 3’s DLC with friends without owning the DLC yourself.

To do this, you need to join a lobby hosted by a player who currently owns the DLC. They will be able to start matchmaking for a game on one of the DLC maps, allowing the three other players to join even if they don’t own the maps.
