Can you play Payday 3 solo?

Depending on the context in which you are asking this question, yes, you can play solo. If you are concerned that you won't be able to launch and play the game without three friends alongside you, then fear not, as you can join a team as a solo player.

Alternatively, if you don't want any help from fellow players, there is also the option to play by yourself with three bots by selecting "Invite Only" or "Friends Only" in the pre-game lobby.

The team at Starbreeze Entertainment are bringing forth a four-person cooperative title that emphasises the need to work together in a solid unit to successfully evade the cops and take home the loot. The good news is you won't have to bring a crew with you, as solo players will be able to enter the game's matchmaking pools to find three thieving comrades to help pinch every penny you can find.

We hope that clarifies if you can be solo in Payday 3! For more content and information on the game, take a look at whether Payday 3 supports crossplay! Additionally, we have the complete list of achievements for the trophy hunters out there!
