The highly anticipated heist game, Payday 3, is set to be released in 2023 with mixed reviews and sales performance (average review score of 66/100, with the second installment scoring 79/100). However, the game is riddled with numerous issues such as gameplay glitches and unstable servers.
The problems surrounding Payday 3 have ultimately led to the CEO of parent company Starbreeze, Tobias Sjögren, being ousted. The board of directors has appointed Juergen Goeldner as the interim CEO while the search for a new CEO is underway.
Founded in 1998, Starbreeze is a Swedish game company currently listed on the Stockholm stock exchange. Known for past hits like The Chronicles of Riddick and Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, their most successful title to date is Payday 2. Currently, the company is developing a new game set in the Dungeons & Dragons universe under the codename Project Baxter.
