Payday 3 shows signs of life: Boys in Blue update boosts attendance to the failed shooter several times over

Starbreeze studio is trying hard to revive its failed co-operative shooter Payday 3 and released a major update Boys in Blue.

Here's What We Know

In Boys in Blue update gamemakers added an operation of infiltration into the police station, which can be completed without making a fuss, dressing up as a police officer, or you can make a big commotion with the help of explosives and firearms.

In addition to the new mission, Payday 3 has additional cosmetic items, costumes, masks, trinkets, three new weapons and other. In addition, the game introduced the heroine Clover from Payday 2, as well as added a beta version of the offline mode, which gamers have long asked for.

It's not clear which of the innovations played a role, but in the last 24 hours the peak online Payday 3 in Steam was 3,286 people. That figure isn't impressive at all, especially when compared to other games, including Payday 2, but while Payday 3 previously averaged around 500 people, that number has increased sixfold with the release of Boys in Blue.

Unfortunately, at the time of writing, the number of players has dropped again, but even 1,600 is better than 500. Figures, of course, terrible for the developer, but the slight positive dynamics allows us to hope that a few more successful updates and the situation with Payday 3 will begin to improve. Recall, earlier Starbreeze noted that it plans to release three more DLC for Payday 3 before the beginning of September.
