On August 20 2026, we announced that we would be retiring all Paid Heist DLCs from PAYDAY 3, and in the September Update, all heists, past and future, will be part of the PAYDAY 3 Base Game!
On August 25 2026, all Paid Heist DLCs will be delisted from all Storefronts.
Existing owners of these DLCs will not lose access to any content after this date.
The following DLCs will be delisted on August 25 2026:
- Syntax Error Heist
- Boys in Blue Heist
- Houston Breakout Heist
- Fear & Greed Heist
- Party Powder Heist
- Delivery Charge Heist
- Shopping Spree Heist
The following bundles will also be delisted at the same time, which contain one or more of the heist DLCs listed above:
- Chapter 1 – Syntax Error Bundle
- Chapter 2 – Boys in Blue Bundle
- Chapter 3 – Houston Breakout Bundle
- Chapter 4 – Fear & Greed Bundle
- Year 1 Edition / Year 1 Pass
- 2nd Anniversary Bundle
The Weapon Pack DLCs, Tailor Pack DLCs and Character Pack DLCs are unaffected by these changes and will remain available for purchase.
All PAYDAY 3 players will be able to play these previously paid Heists after the release of the September Update.
