As it stands, there is no way to play Payday 3 without an internet connection.

While Payday 3 is an excellent advancement for the franchise, there are a few ways that it falls behind its predecessors. Particularly, this has to deal with the way that the game even functions, due to the lack of any sort of offline support. Unfortunately, even if you’re planning on playing the game Solo, you’re going to need to be connected to the internet at all times.

While this wouldn’t normally be a big deal, there have been a fair amount of times that Payday 3 has gone down, due to the amount of strain and stress on the servers currently. Plenty of folks at the Prima Offices are experiencing this same issue, which is quite a shame. However, even the CEO of Starbreeze has noticed the increased number of players and is hoping to do whatever possible to get the game working as it should be for everyone.
