Overkill Software, the game developer, and Deep Silver, the game publisher, have just announced the removal of a controversial feature from Payday 3. This decision comes just six days before the game’s launch on PC, PS5, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X.

If you’re a console player, this news doesn’t affect you because this feature was exclusive to the PC version of the game. The feature in question is Denuvo DRM technology, which was intended to prevent piracy through online checks and other measures.

However, over the years, it has faced criticism for its potential impact on game performance. Initially, it was planned to be included in Payday 3, but the developer and publisher have now changed their minds and decided to exclude it.

The news comes from Payday 3’s official Twitter account. They haven’t provided an explanation for this decision, but the comments suggest that people are not too concerned about it. If you check the comments below the post, you’ll see that PC users are quite pleased with the news and aren’t raising any questions.

Hello heisters,

We want to inform you that Denuvo is no longer in PAYDAY 3.

We look forward to seeing you in New York City!

Happy heisting! 👊😎 pic.twitter.com/729ezTJm6K

We’ll tell you if we learn more, but it looks like this is all we know for now. It’s unlikely that the game will introduce this technology later, mainly because it’s designed for game releases when most game sales happen and when piracy is most common.

Payday 3 Release Date

Payday 3 is coming out on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC this Thursday, September 21st, at 8 AM PT / 11 AM ET / 4 PM BST. But if you can’t wait, you can get early access on Monday, September 18th.
