After being framed by business titan Warren Jupiter, players team up to take revenge through the signature chaos of a PAYDAY heist. Design your own unique loadout, mixing weapons, gadgets and skills to become the ultimate, high-caliber heister. Infiltrate banks, museums, and even a luxury penthouse apartment, surveying each scene before choosing the perfect moment to go loud and secure your payday.
“For the past 15 years, we’ve admired how PAYDAY lets players jump into scenarios straight out of the wildest Hollywood crime movies and take heists into their own hands,” said Erik Odeldahl, Chief Creative Officer and Co-Founder at Fast Travel Games. “We’re kicking things up to the next level this year with PAYDAY: Aces High – get ready to lock-and-load with up to three other heisters, in the immersion that only VR can bring!”
“PAYDAY is one of the most iconic franchises in gaming, with more than 50 million players worldwide,” said Adolf Kristjansson, CEO of Starbreeze Entertainment. “Fast Travel Games is a globally respected VR studio with over a decade of VR experience. They are the ideal partner to bring PAYDAY to this platform. With Aces High, we are expanding the PAYDAY universe and inviting players to plan and execute heists together in a fully immersive experience. Under their leadership, Aces High is not just an adaptation. It is a true PAYDAY game built from the ground up for this medium.”
PAYDAY: Aces High Key Features:
The Rush Of The Score: Roll out with up to three partners in crime. Plan the job, stack your tools, and execute with precision. Every alarm you dodge, every bag you haul, every trigger you pull pushes you closer to that flawless payday… or the kind of heat that burns cities to the ground.
Guns, Gadgets, Getting Even: Gear up and hit the score with an arsenal that keeps growing – ARs, SMGs, shotguns, pistols, plus gadgets like grapple and sentry guns. Spend your hard-earned cash and rep to unlock the skills, gear, and toys that crank your heisting game to the next level.
Four Aces To Choose From:
- Ace of Hearts: The Mastermind – The brain behind the chaos. Lines up every angle, every fallback, every escape.
- Ace of Clubs: The Ghost – Silent, surgical, gone before anyone knows they’ve been fooled.
- Ace of Diamonds: The Technician – Gadget freak. Orchestrating the theater of destruction.
- Ace of Spades: The Enforcer – The hammer that keeps hitting when things get loud.
