Payday 3 may require an always-online internet connection, even for single-player, according to a developer. Speaking during a livestream, global brand director Almir Listo suggested both multiplayer and single-player need you to be online in order to play.
“You will be able to play by yourself, but I do believe you will have to have a connection in order to play because it’s made in Unreal Engine, it’s using cross-progression [and] cross-play, I do believe we need you to be online,” Payday 3 global brand director Almir Listo said in a Payday 2 stream.
We have reached out to Starbreeze for clarification on Payday 3’s potential always-online requirement and will update this post when we hear back from the studio.
