Q: What has been causing the Payday 3 matchmaking error on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S?

A: The Payday 3 matchmaking error stems from an unforeseen error in the game's matchmaking software, according to Starbreeze Studios. This error prevented the multiplayer servers from handling the large influx of players at launch, leading to server failures not previously seen during technical betas and early access.

Q: How does Starbreeze plan to address these matchmaking issues in the short and long term?

A: In the short term, Starbreeze aims to improve the player experience by deploying updated server software, which has shown some improvement in performance. For the long-term resolution, the studio is considering finding a new partner for matchmaking services and making the game less dependent on online services, hinting at the possible introduction of an offline mode.

Q: Has Starbreeze identified which third-party partner might be responsible for the unrecoverable situation?

A: While Starbreeze hasn’t formally named the third-party partner responsible, indications point to AccelByte, a service Starbreeze utilizes for the game’s telemetry, analytics, and Starbreeze Nebula, as the potential source of the matchmaking errors.
