Sydney, Australia – 21st June, 2024 – Deep Silver and Starbreeze confirm that PAYDAY 3: Chapter 2 – Boys in Blue, the second DLC Expansion for the ultimate heist shooter fantasy, releases on June 27th on all platforms.

Following the events in Chapter 1: Syntax Error, the gang will take the heist to a police station, capturing the essence of PAYDAY, where every stolen gold bar is a statement against authority.

DLC overview

Boys in Blue is accessible to Silver Edition, Gold Edition, and Gold Pass owners of PAYDAY 3 and is available to buy separately on PC, Xbox Series S|X, and PlayStation 5. The DLC consists of:

  • The Heist Pack: with PAYDAY 3: Chapter 2 – Boys in Blue
  • The Weapon Pack with 3 new weapons, 26 mods and 2 cosmetics
  • The Tailor Pack with 4 new masks, 4 new suits, and 4 new gloves.

PAYDAY 3 second DLC Expansion comes also with a major free update. The Boys in Blue free update will be available for all players including:

  • Solo Mode Beta (on all platforms)
  • New heister Clover, originally introduced to the PAYDAY series in 2014, including a gun and weapon charm  
  • New Primary weapon – LMG
  • Loadout renaming
  • Nvidia DLSS 3.0 Ready, offering a great boost to performance for anyone with a recent Nvidia graphics card
  • Twitch drops

Solo Mode Beta

The Boys in Blue Update introduces a Solo Mode Beta, addressing community feedback received since the game’s release.  

In this beta, the sections of the game previously hosted on PAYDAY servers are now hosted on players’ devices. What it does is skip the matchmaking step, meaning players still must log in and have access to the internet, but only for the initial identification and start up. This is the first step to support a full offline option in the future.  

The four most well-known clown-masked criminals in recent video game history returned from retirement last year in PAYDAY 3 on PC via PC Game Pass, on Steam and Epic Games Store, as well as Xbox Series S|X, on Console Game Pass, PlayStation 5 and GeForce Now.

3on3 FreeStyle: Rebound’s Blair Breaks the Board (and Hearts) Today

An elegant beauty and innocence matched only by her unassuming speed and technique

IRVINE, CALIFORNIA – June 20, 2024 – 3on3 FreeStyle: Rebound, the online multiplayer street basketball game developed by JOYCITY with more than 18 million players, today launches its newest character, the agile K-pop queen of the paint, Blair, available today on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4 & 5, and Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One!

Inspired by agile centers of the past like Hakeem Olajuwon, Blair takes the position to a whole new level. Don’t let her cute softness fool you: Blair steals your heart — and the ball. Having grown up isolated from the world as an heir to a giant conglomerate, Blair is eager to prove herself on the court. Her innocent naivete informs her gameplay style, leading to unpredictable tactics that throw off opponents with her unorthodox style. 

Utilize her keen instincts and background as a French college student to swap between a dubious offense and tricky defense. Adapt to each game with self-buffs that demand the opponent’s attention, and steal the game out from under their noses. She might be small, but her odd personality is mighty on any team. Don’t be surprised when she lords over the court.

Blair joins an ever-expanding roster of hoopers in 3on3 FreeStyle, with more characters planned this year for the more than 500,000 monthly active users to ball with. Newcomers can compete in the Rookie League, open only for upstart players to feel the competitive fire and earn rewards while learning the ropes. 

“Blair’s unlike any other character we’ve brought into 3on3 FreeStyle,” said Danny Noss, Senior Director of JOYCITY Annex. “Our past additions to the roster expanded gameplay and team compositions, but Blair shares so little in common with any of them. Making her feel like a natural fit was a new challenge for us, and we’re so excited to show you all what we came up with and how she changes the game for everyone.”

3on3 FreeStyle: Rebound is currently available on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4 & 5, and Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One. For more information on 3on3 FreeStyle, check out the game’s official website, subscribe to 3on3 FreeStyle on YouTube, follow the game on Twitter and Facebook, and join the Discord.

The Battle of Rzhev has begun in Enlisted

New update brings visual updates, new weapons, gear and maps

Darkflow Software and Gaijin Entertainment announce the release of a major update “Rzhev” for the online military shooter Enlisted. It brings significantly improved graphics, new missions dedicated to the famous Battle of Rzhev, as well as new squads, weapons, and military vehicles.

The Battle of Rzhev is a series of operations in 1942-1943, during which the Red Army eliminated the Rzhev-Vyazma ledge, from which German troops threatened Moscow. Eyewitnesses recalled this battle as a crazy meat grinder, and in terms of the significance and fierceness of the battles it was comparable to Stalingrad. Players in Enlisted will visit several iconic points of Rzhev, i.e. the Cathedral of the Nativity of Christ, the city hall, the central market, the shopping area and steep cliffs to the left bank of the Volga river. On the approaches to the city, battles will take place in industrial zones with a grain elevator and in the ruins of the suburban village of Teterino, of which mostly only the outlines of houses remain.

The Rzhev update features dozens of brand new or improved weapons and military vehicles – for example, the American T20 rifle, the Japanese KE-7 machine gun, the Soviet KV-2 tank (1940) with a powerful 152-mm howitzer and the German 8.8 cm Flak 37 Sfl. tank destroyer that can shoot down aircraft and tear armored vehicles to shreds with equal ease. Squads of radio operators can now call in rocket artillery strikes – the first to receive this opportunity are the 26th Guards Signal Battalion of the USSR and the 332nd Infantry Regiment of Germany.

Finally, Enlisted has improved the operation of Global Illumination technology on PC and PlayStation 5, which has made the game much more beautiful without sacrificing performance. The propagation of light has become even more realistic, and the game is visually richer: the developers have added specular lighting, increased its display distance, and also added detailed reflections.

You can read more about the contents of the Rzhev update on the official Enlisted website.

About Gaijin Entertainment

Gaijin Entertainment is the developer and publisher of the online games War Thunder, Crossout, Enlisted, CRSED: F.O.A.D. and Star Conflict as well as other PC, Mac, Linux, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, iOS and Android titles across several genres. The company’s diverse portfolio has received a range of mass media and game industry awards including such as Gamescom Award and many more.

About Enlisted

Enlisted is a squad-based first person MMO shooter covering key battles from World War II. The game carefully recreates weapons, military vehicles and the atmosphere of that era, while demonstrating really massive clashes of numerous soldiers, tanks and aircraft with artillery and naval support. Enlisted is available on PC, Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5.
