Payday 3 pre-order bonuses
Before we get into each specific edition of Payday 3, you should know that every version of the game comes with a digital pre-order bonus if you order before the release date of September 21, 2023.
If you buy any edition of the game by this date, you’ll receive the Trifecta Loot Bag DLC, which features an exclusive mask, gloves, and suit for your heister to wear. It’s currently unknown if this bonus will be available to purchase separately after launch.
Payday 3 Standard Edition
The digital standard edition of Payday 3 costs £34.99 and includes all the content in the base game. For now, this has been confirmed as 8 heists, 6 playable heisters, as well as an uncertain number of weapons and cosmetic items.

Payday 3 Silver Edition
Starbreeze is also offering a few enhanced editions of the game featuring additional content. The silver edition costs £59.99 and includes the base game, a mask, a 3-day early unlock, as well as a six-month season pass which grants you access to two heists released as DLC post-launch, along with tailor packs and weapon packs.
Payday 3 Gold Edition
The Gold Edition of Payday 3 costs £79.99 and includes everything in the Silver Edition, but with a few extras. The season pass is extended to one year, granting an extra two heists (four overall), along with other DLC released in that time. You will also unlock the Golden Slate gloves and Skull of Liberty mask as additional cosmetics.
Payday 3 Collector’s Edition
For the true heisters out there, Starbreeze is also releasing a Collector’s Edition of the game. This version of Payday 3 includes everything in the Gold Edition, with the exception of the 3-day early unlock. It also has an exclusive mask, the Solidius mask.
The Collector’s Edition costs $129.99 and also includes several physical bonuses too. The Solidius Mask is recreated as a physical mask you can display or even wear (though we heavily discourage you from committing a real heist with this). Additionally, you’ll also get a physical version of the game in a nice case, a custom deck of cards, stickers, and a membership letter to the Collector’s Club.
