When is payback 3 original coming out?
Developers have hinted that Payback 3 might drop in late 2024, but by around September, there was still no concrete update—leading many in the fan community to suspect another delay.
A Reddit comment from about 9 months ago noted: “The game will be released in a year… Payback 3 will be released at the same time as GTA 6…”.
There’s no official launch date yet. The most credible hints point to a late 2025 release, but keep an eye on Apex Designs’ official channels and community sites like Reddit for any confirmed announcements.
