PAYDAY: Aces High Hits Meta Quest, SteamVR, and Steam Frame November 5; Final Playtest Live Now *Players can experience the final playtest on Steam and Meta Quest, running October 19 through October 26; participants get an exclusive Kitty Mask when the game launches* **STOCKHOLM – October 19, 2026 –** [Fast Travel Games](https://www.fasttravelgames.com/) today announced that *PAYDAY®: Aces High*, the officially licensed VR co-op heist game set in [Starbreeze Entertainment](https://www.starbreeze.com/)’s iconic PAYDAY*®* universe, launches November 5 on Meta Quest, SteamVR, and Steam Frame for $24.99 USD. Aspiring Aces can wishlist the game now on [Steam](https://store.steampowered.com/app/3456660/PAYDAY_Aces_High/) and [Meta Quest](https://www.meta.com/experiences/payday-aces-high/9059428207447106/). Check out the release date announcement trailer here: https://youtu.be/k7sPfQumQ8U Before launch, players have one more chance to get in on the job. The final playtest for *PAYDAY: Aces High* is live now and runs through October 26, with a Steam demo available as part of Steam Next Fest. Players can join on [Steam](https://store.steampowered.com/app/3456660/PAYDAY_Aces_High/) or [Meta Quest](https://www.meta.com/experiences/payday-aces-high/9059428207447106/) to experience a PAYDAY heist in VR ahead of Aces High’s official release. Players who join will receive an exclusive in-game Kitty Mask in the full game when it launches on November 5. After business titan Warren Jupiter frames them, players team up as The Aces to take revenge through the signature chaos of a PAYDAY heist. Crews of up to four plan the job, build loadouts from weapons, gadgets, and skills, and choose the right moment to stay quiet or go loud on the way to the next big payday. "Our last playtest showed us that *PAYDAY: Aces High* is playing the way we hoped it would. Crews were coordinating their approach, scrambling to recover when a stealth run fell apart, and lining up for another job as soon as they made it out," said **Erik Odeldahl, Chief Creative Officer and Co-Founder at Fast Travel Games**. "Since then, the team has been tuning every part of the game for launch, and this final playtest is our last chance to put that work in front of players before release. On November 5, players get to plan the approach, handle the gear, and carry the bags out with their own hands, with three friends watching their back. That is the PAYDAY fantasy, and VR is where it feels the most real." "Fast Travel Games has been an excellent partner from the very beginning; they are the very best VR studio in the business," said **Adolf Kristjansson, CEO at Starbreeze Entertainment**. "They understand what makes PAYDAY work, and they have adapted it for VR with real expertise, from the tension of a quiet approach to the chaos of a heist gone loud. Just as important, they listen. Player feedback from every playtest has made its way into the game and that is why PAYDAY: Aces High is the PAYDAY game our fans will be excited to play." ***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.
