Starbreeze takes over Payday 3 rights from Plaion to speed up the development of new content
Released in September 2023, Payday 3 never really took off. Many gamers ended up going back to the second entry, as its sequel lacked content and polish. But Starbreeze has no intention of giving up.
In a press release, the Swedish company announced that it has purchased the publishing rights to the game from Plaion (formerly known as Koch Media) for around 3 million euros.
"This agreement enables Starbreeze to fully acquire the publishing rights to PAYDAY 3 from Plaion, significantly accelerate our content development roadmap, and pursue broader strategic opportunities for the PAYDAY franchise as a whole."
"We appreciate PLAION’s support, which underscores their confidence in Starbreeze’ future and strengthens our strategic alignment with major global industry players."
