Nope! Payday 3 is the same on console and PC, thanks to Unreal Engine. All versions of Payday 3 will receive updates and DLC simultaneously, with full crossplay support.

This will be music to the ears of console players, as Payday 2 was significantly limited compared to its PC counterpart. This was due to Payday 2 running on the Diesel Engine, which made it incredibly difficult to port PC updates to Xbox One, PS4, and Nintendo Switch.

Payday 3 runs in Unreal Engine 4, with plans to transition to Unreal Engine 5 in the future. This means that Starbreeze can seamlessly deliver the same content to all players — and feature far fancier graphics and physics to boot.

Is Payday 3 coming to Xbox One, PS4, or Nintendo Switch?

There are no plans to bring Payday 3 to Xbox One, PlayStation 4, or Nintendo Switch. Due to the graphical and gameplay updates between Payday 2 and 3, Starbreeze would have to make substantial downgrades for the game to run on previous-generation hardware. Judging by the state of Mortal Kombat 1 on the Switch, I’d say they made a good call.

Payday 3 is available on Steam, Epic Games, Windows Store, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5.
