Ever since Payday 3 launched in September 2023, players have been complaining about the lack of a solo offline mode. After nearly nine months, the anticipated offline solo mode is finally coming, but with one condition: You still need to be online to use this mode…
Why does Payday 3’s offline mode still require online?
Since the release of Payday 3, server problems, bad matchmaking, bugs and performance problems have been among the complaints of players. Since then, the developers at Starbreeze have continued to update and fix the game, improve its online play, and add new content. However, the game’s always-online requirement and lack of a true solo mode remain unchanged to this day.
shiftdelete.netWith the new Payday 3 update arriving on June 27, players will finally have access to a solo offline mode. However, you will still need to be connected to the game’s servers for this mod to work. In the developer update, the game’s global brand manager Almir Listo talked about the newly added heist and the much-requested offline solo mode. However, he noted that you must be connected to the game’s servers to access the solo mode, and that you must connect to the servers again before closing Payday 3 for your progress to be saved.
Listo, “This feature is not exactly what we wanted it to be. For now, we will release it as a beta to test how it works.” said. He also noted that the game’s performance in solo mode may be affected, as some parts rendered on Payday 3’s servers will now run locally on your PC. However, the developers say that the beta mode works and you can make progress provided you reconnect to the online servers.
There is even Payday 3: Good news for a 2500 TL game for Xbox Game Pass!
The games that will be added to the Xbox Game Pass library in the coming weeks have been announced. Payday 3, Lies of P and Gotham Knights attract attention.
People are naturally wondering why they introduced an offline mode that requires online access. According to Starbreeze, such a decision was made because they wanted to test that this feature worked and build on it. In fact, Listo stated that what will be released on June 27 is not a true offline mode. Listo, “This is not an offline mode, it’s a solo mode where the parts of the game hosted on our servers are hosted on your device. This is a stepping stone for a future feature, not something we’ve released and completed.” said.
For now, you still need to be online to be able to play solo and in offline mode. What are you thinking? Please don’t forget to share your thoughts with us in the comments section below.
