Payday Aces High is now available on Meta Quest and SteamVR platforms. The game is priced at $24.99 and allows players to team up with three others to execute heists and seek revenge on a billionaire antagonist named Warren Jupiter.
The game is presented as a return to the original Payday series' style, diverging from the reception of Payday 3. It introduces new characters and mechanics specifically designed for virtual reality environments. While some features from previous games, like taking hostages, are absent, gun upgrades and perks are included.
Players choose from four 'Aces' characters, which are visual distinctions rather than stat-based. Character progression involves customizing stats through earned points and money, and collecting in-game masks. The game includes on-body inventory, skill-check minigames for equipment, and physical interaction with environmental elements.
Payday Aces High launches with six unlockable missions, with an additional free mission, 'Coup de Grace,' scheduled for release on December 14. Developer Fast Travel Games plans community challenges to unlock special loot. The game supports full crossplay, enabling players on different platforms to connect easily.
