Players are still getting matchmaking errors but it is expected to be resolved with the update that might arrive soon. Also, matchmaking is possible on the current matchmaking service according to the devs and more positive updates can be expected soon.
Payday 3has been long awaited and allows players to form teams of four to engage in thrilling and action-filled heists. The game focuses on team play and players need to be in sync to pull off those high-stakes heists. While the game can be played solo, these issues frustrated players, resulting in negative Steam reviews and a drop in player numbers. The game peaked at 70,000 players in the last 24 hours but is still halfway behind the all-time peak number.
