Get ready to set up some heists.

Payday 2 was announced for the Nintendo Switch today during the Nintendo Direct livestream.

The game, which is all about setting up big heists, is set for a Fall release with four player co-op action.

It was originally released in 2013 on PC, with versions arriving on modern consoles two years later.

Man I watch my brother play this on Steam ALL the time! I can't wait to play it for myself!

Careful, past console versions have been handled pretty badly. Besides the lack of updates compared to the PC (they've revamped most parts of the game multiple times over the years) they've had serious technical problems that didn't get fixed very quickly.


The Crime Wave Edition was already many months behind in content when it released and didn't get any content updates AFAIK. Meanwhile the PC version just got a new game mode and some more ports of PD1 maps this week plus they've deployed a huge revamp of the bot system to beta.

What KDR_11k said.  Only context that might make this more acceptable is if


1) You have no access to PC version and wont feel burned if the Switch version has less.
2) From my understanding, they've stated they're almost done supporting/updating the PC version?  So depending on how the developers approached this version, it COULD possibly have most of the stuff in it.


Another caveat - AI partners are dumb as a box of rocks, so hope you have friends to play this with or are ok with partnering up online.  Guess this'll be another test of how good the online interface is for Nintendo.

They're changing the bots so you can make them give you buffs (to make up for the lack of players) and give them specific weapons now, it'll still suck to get downed in a location without bot waypoints though. If the bot revamp is good enough it might make the game viable for solo play.


Support for the game was supposed to run out 2 years ago, then they extended it. Just because the currently planned support period is ending soon doesn't mean it'll actually stop being supported. Probably depends on whether the players are still there and how successful The Raid ends up being.
