PAYDAY Crime War is Getting an Android Beta Next Month

For many years now, the PAYDAY series has cemented itself as one of the top dogs of the co-op shooter space. Across both consoles and PC, players have been heisting away and shooting billions of cops to some intense music tracks, with a formula that never gets old. Hell, I’ve dumped a few hundred hours into PAYDAY 2 myself. With so much going for it, it’s no surprise the team is looking to break into the mobile space with PAYDAY Crime War. As of today, you can register to be one of the first to play it. Publisher PopReach has today announced that registrations for the PAYDAY Crime War beta have officially opened for Android users, with the beta itself beginning on December 6 at 10 AM PST. The title has also received a confirmed release window of 2022! You can register here to have a chance at trying the title out before release!

PAYDAY Crime War acts as a standalone FPS in the PAYDAY universe, featuring much of the classic gameplay alongside some fresh content. As the official site details, the game will feature a co-op game mode with many of the classic heists you know and love. Alongside that is a 4v4 PvP mode, seeing you play as either the gang themselves or cops in a quest for carnage and victory. With plenty of classic content, PAYDAY Crime War promises to be the prime way to play PAYDAY on the go.

Christopher Locke, President of PopReach, had this to say regarding the title:

Our PopReach team has a track record of translating successful shooter games to mobile, so we’re eager to be taking a shot with such a genre-defining classic as PAYDAY. Partnering with Starbreeze and leveraging their IP knowledge, along with this massive built-in audience, creates a huge opportunity for PAYDAY on mobile. Together, we believe we’ll be able to deliver a first-class mobile shooter experience that satisfies even the most loyal heisters.”
