Overview
- Fast Travel Games and Starbreeze unveiled Payday: Aces High, a virtual reality co-op heist game for SteamVR and Meta Quest slated for 2026.
- Built for VR from the start, the game supports up to four players with full cross-play between SteamVR and Quest and includes a solo option.
- A new crew called The Aces leads the story, with roles like Mastermind and Enforcer and loadouts that pair firearms with tools such as grapples and sentry guns.
- The team reworked stealth with a Quiet Mode tailored for headsets and built a progression system that unlocks VR-specific abilities, gear, and guns to boost replay.
- Starbreeze cast Aces High as the first step in broader Payday expansions, leaning on a 50 million–player, $400 million franchise after Payday 3’s mixed debut.
