Payday 3\u2019s <\/em>player count has plummeted to all-new lows as Payday 2<\/em> sees a resurgence. The long-awaited sequel\u2019s catastrophically poor launch has driven its player base back to its roots.<\/p>
The second title in the franchise has eclipsed Payday 3\u2019s<\/em> concurrent player count. Payday 2\u2019s<\/em> peak sat just over 150 players shy of cracking 40,000 concurrents this week alone, according to SteamCharts<\/a>.<\/p>
During Payday 3\u2019s<\/em> first week, players were met with clogged servers. This led to gamers sitting in queues for hours<\/a>, waiting for their chance to have a crack at the multiplayer, heist experience.\u00a0<\/p>
Payday 3\u2019s <\/em>player count dropped dramatically<\/a> only a month after release, and a tsunami of poor reviews flooded Steam<\/a> shortly after.

As time has gone on, Payday 3\u2019s<\/em> Steam rating has increased. It currently sports a six out of 10 on Steam, with negative reviews still rolling in today<\/a>. <\/p>
