It has been seven years since Payday 2 launched and it’s still getting post-launch support. The game just received Update 202 which adds some minor changes to the game. The previously active holiday event is now finished and the XP event bonuses are no longer available.
The holiday-themed main menu and audio have been reverted back and all the heists with the Christmas theme are back to normal. The update added a new crime spree that contains six new heists. All these are added into the rotation and can be enjoyed by anyone.
- Breaking Feds
- Shacklethorne Auction
- Boiling Point
- San Martín Bank
- The Alesso Heist
- Breakfast in Tijuana
Developers of the game, Overkill Software, also claimed that new heists, weapons, and more are already planned and will release sometime this year. The update brought some bug fixes too. You can read all about them below.

There is still no word about Payday 3 . It has been three years since the sequel was announced with little to no information. We just hope that the development of the game isn’t hindered by the never-ending post-launch support of Payday 2.
So, what do you think? Are you still playing Payday 2? Or are you done with the game and now waiting for the sequel? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
