Payday 2’s next update is “a massive undertaking” to modernize the FPS, stop crashes, and cut its install size by 60%

It’s been nine months since Starbreeze handed the Payday 2 reins over to Sidetrack Games to continue supporting it, while the original developer focused on improving Payday 3. So far, the numbers are very much in Sidetrack’s favor, with Payday 2 still routinely pulling 30,000-player peaks on Steam as its successor struggles to stay at just 1,000. Rather than simply rest easy, however, the new team is preparing for its biggest overhaul yet, transporting the heist shooter across to a fresh engine that should result in smoother gameplay at a massively reduced file size.
