Payday 3, the sequel to what’s widely considered the gaming world’s best heist series, is coming out on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and PC on September 21 and it’s safe to say we’re pumped. To help you get the jump on your preorder, we’ve done some research to figure out which retailer is peddling the cheapest copy right now.
But first – what is Payday 3 and what’s new? Well, it’s a high-octane, co-op FPS game that allows players to stage the perfect heist. You’ll fill the role of a former Payday Gang member who has stepped out of retirement to resume your reign of terror. A new threat has arisen, so the gang must band together to crush them in the Big Apple.
The best thing about any Payday game is that you’re rewarded for being greedy. The better you execute your plan, the more rewards you’ll reap. That doesn’t mean you have to creep through the shadows for every heist. You can even walk in guns blazing if that’s more your style. Take some hostages, go it alone or better yet, rally up some friends.
Where can you preorder Payday 3 for cheap in Australia?

Right now, MightyApe has the cheapest copy of Payday 3, offering it on Xbox and PS5 for $49.
Amazon Australia, The Gamesmen and JB Hi-Fi are all offering the next best price, which is $54, but Amazon includes free shipping, so it shakes out to be the cheapest of the lot.

Payday 3‘s Silver Edition will score you the same preorder bonuses as grabbing a hard copy, plus three days of early access, your first six months of the Season Pass and a special Dark Sterling Mask.
