Payday 3 closed beta: How to play the game early

radiotimes.com:

Before its anticipated release date, a Payday 3 closed beta is set to go live soon on Xbox Series X/S and PC (via Steam). If you’re keen to play the game before its launch, this represents your first chance to do so.

Many games with online modes offer eager gamers the chance to play before release thanks to early access and beta periods. In this co-op heist title, the closed technical beta lets you play in one heist and a level cap of infamy level 22.

As this is a closed technical beta that the development team will use to gather bug data and server information to help shape the final game, progress does not carry over into the full release.

Read on to find out when the Payday 3 closed beta start date and end date are and how to join in on Xbox and Steam.

The Payday 3 closed beta is live between 2 August to 7 August on Steam and Xbox Series X/S. Sorry, PS5 owners, you’ll be missing out on this chance to try the game early.

If you really want to try the game out even earlier, though, you can enter for a chance to be flown out to Sweden as part of the Payday 3 Do Time To Get Time event.

Head to the official site to apply for a chance to be among the first to play Payday 3 (in Sweden). Simply click on the large Apply Now button to get your application in on time. You have until 1 August to shoot your shot to be flown out to Sweden to play the game early.

If you’d rather try the game out in the comfort of your own home, though, you need to apply to get access to the closed beta on Xbox and Steam.
