PayDay2 Will No Longer Be Supported on PS3 and Xbox 360

July 8, 2015 by Ian Miles Cheong

The developers explain why they aren’t supporting the game.

As we reported a few days ago, Overkill Software no longer intends to support PayDay 2 on last-gen consoles. 

Today, they made an official announcement, where they expressed their regret over the impossibility of providing further support for the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the game. 

The reason for their inability to support the older version of the game is due to an increased prioritization of the newly out Crimewave Edition of the game, which was released last month for the PS4 and Xbox One. 

Overkill Software made the announcement in a Steam community post, where they said that they would be discontinuing support for the last-gen versions of the game. This means that there are no plans to release DLC or updates for the game on those platforms. 

Here's what they wrote:

In connection with this, we have decided to retire the PayDay 2 update development on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. We wish we could provide more updates. For a long time, we’ve been looking at how we could add more updates from a technical standpoint. Sadly, we now understand that it’s impossible to continue doing so.

We are confident that we have done everything we could cramming as much content we possibly could on both of the platforms. There are several technical reason as to why. For one, please understand that from a technical perspective, some of these consoles are almost a decade old. While trying to understand why we couldn’t develop more content, we learnt that they don’t have the fire power or memory to deal with 50 additional content updates that we have been developing for PAYDAY 2 after its release.

For those of you who play Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 and have been looking forward to new updates, you’ll be pissed when you hear this. We hate this too, because there’s nothing we can do about it.

Owners of the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game are understandably dissatisfied by the studio's stance and have been hammering them on social media. Given the company's position, it might be a good idea for them to stop selling the game for older platforms.
