PAYDAY 2 is an action-packed, four-player co-op shooter that once again lets gamers don the masks of the original PAYDAY crew - Dallas, Hoxton, Wolf and Chains - as they descend on Washington DC for an epic crime spree.

Prices
The United States storefront in every case, so this compares stores and not countries.
Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Every market we collect.
Charts
Each storefront's own chart, in its own country — the closest public signal to sales where none is published. A country missing from a list is one we don't collect there, not one where the game doesn't chart.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.

Same day: best UK #58, worst CA #88 · 5 markets collected
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

I've been playing this game a while now, and can safely say its one of the best games of all time. It does have some quirks that make it feel aged and buggy, but with more updates to come hopefully that can be fixed there's so much to do, so many play styles and maps and modes. unfortunately it is DLC heavy, but if you do get them, its a lot better. I wish they'd just add buck the removed DLC it was some of the best DLC in the game, nothing horribly game changing but still very unfortunate. The community is great, most media struggles to be relevant because of a bad community but Payday has had a strong fan base for a LONG while and because of that its become the titan it is now even fully supporting payday 3 for its mistakes. It amazes me just how long this game is still kicking, with more care and effort put into this game it can be the literal perfect game ever. Maybe I'm too enthusiastic, I'm sure others can say more about it in greater detail but i like to see games for what they are or what they could be with a little effort any game can be a good game with enough effort and care. I hope the original developers come back to work on the game again or to fix the 3rd one its not the same without them.
Игра хорошо держится за счёт разнообразия ограблений и того, что одну и ту же миссию можно проходить по-разному. Можно играть через стелс, можно через полный хаос, подбирать оружие и билды под свой стиль. Очень люблю стелс в этой игре. С друзьями провели в нём немало времени. Сначала спалишься ты, потом они несколько раз, причём иногда вообще в самом конце. Но постепенно настолько хорошо запоминаете уровень и поведение охраны, что в итоге проходите всё идеально. И когда после множества неудач наконец получается чистый заход, приходит невероятный кайф.
too much DLC ngl

ayer cague algo y era como payday, un tremendo mierdon
nice gsme I like it
One of the best FPS games, and it continues to be updated to this very day. It is a shame some DLC is delisted and cant be bought but there's that much content you probably wont notice it at all. VR can be a bit bad from a performance perspective at times at times and there are a few necessary QOL mods, but its still a very good deal in gaming.
90% of this game is behind a DLC paywall and even then all the missions are just to place a drill on a safe and wait a couple of mins
