Does Payday 3 have a campaign? Now that the arrival of Deep Silver’s next heist-themed FPS installment is just around the corner, you may be wondering about the inclusion of a story mode within the game.

Of course, with the Payday 3 open beta start date having already begun, you should be able to find out for yourself, provided you were able to sign up for the pre-release period. If you’re still on the fence, though, and you simply want to know about the availability of a campaign, then we’ve covered all you’ll need to know here.

Does Payday 3 have a single-player mode?

Yes, Payday 3 does have a campaign mode that will feature a total of eight heists. Now, the inclusion of a single-player mode in Deep Silver’s latest FPS entry isn’t exactly a surprise as their previous installment in Payday 2 similarly had a story mode. However, the second series entry did contain more missions than the third game, so some fans may disappointed at the relative lack of available solo heists.

But despite Payday 3 having four fewer heists than its predecessor, it seems the latest installment’s offerings will be much more expansive than previous ones as evidenced by the snippets that the developers had shown in some gameplay trailers. It’s also worth keeping in mind that Starbreeze Studios could eventually introduce more heists with future expansions, so this may not be the final tally for the long-awaited high-stakes follow-up.

That’s all you need to know for now on the Payday 3 campaign mode. If you want to learn more about the next series installment, then we suggest learning how to play the Payday 3 beta ahead of time.
