During launch weekend, PAYDAY 3 had a peak of concurrent players (CCU) across all platforms of 218,250, and a peak of 1,347,510 unique players (DAU). The numbers look promising, but the technical issues experienced late last week have persisted, angering the community.

PAYDAY 3 was officially released yesterday to all intended platforms. During the first hours of the launch, PAYDAY 3 had a peak of concurrent players (CCU) across all platforms of more than 220,000 and 924,204 unique players (DAU). As the player count increased, the game’s servers were unable to meet demand, and the game was inaccessible from around 21:45

Vid smyglansering av PAYDAY 3 uppstod en del tekniskt trubbel. Även aktien har åkt nedförsbacke i veckan. Den verkliga releasen sker i morgon, torsdag 21 september och förhandsintresset är fortfarande på topp och mottagandet är hittills lovande.

According to Starbreeze’s press release, PAYDAY 3 had close to 150,000 unique players (DAU) during the first 18 hours of early access, excluding PlayStation 5. The company also stated that Starbreeze Nebula currently stands at over 1.6 million registered users.

Yesterday, September 18th, PAYDAY 3 went into early access for the players who bought the silver and gold versions. I had the opportunity to play the game for about 2 hours yesterday on PC and really enjoyed the game. I had no technical issues, and my impression of the game was good.There was, however, some issues with the PS5 version.

We looked at the current valuation levels of listed gaming companies and their growth and profitability forecasts for the coming years. The companies are divided into three groups: 1) Mobile games companies, 2) Console and PC games companies, and 3) Multi-platform games companies, a group of gaming giants. We also briefly review interesting companies in the sector.

With the release date of PAYDAY 3 nearing, our confidence in the game’s success remains. We are particularly encouraged by the positive feedback the game has received and the positive indicators related to the game released by Starbreeze. The biggest question mark surrounding Starbreeze is the medium to long-term future of the company and what level of confidence to assign to any projections regarding the games after PAYDAY 3. However, with the recent decline in share price, we believe the risk-reward ratio has returned to being modestly positive.
