Payday 2 'too big' for just digital release, also coming to retail

Payday 2, the sequel to 2011's Payday: The Heist, is no longer a download exclusive. Publisher 505 Games and developer Overkill Software announced today that in addition to its digital releases, the game will be available at retail for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

David Goldfarb said in a press release: "We have a bit of a problem here at Overkill--there are just too many great ideas and none that we were really happy to throw out--so Payday 2 has become just too big to reserve release on Xbox Live and PlayStation Network alone."

Payday 2 preview: planning the perfect heist

"Imagine the perfect robbery: you know the blueprints inside out, when the guards go for their coffee breaks, and exactly how to get into the safe. Everything goes without a hitch, and by the time the safe is found, you're laughing. Not a shot fired. Payday: The Heist doesn't work like that."

Eurogamer's review of the original Payday is an apt summary of what Payday could have been. That's not to say that Overkill's heist game was bad--far from it. But it lacked the brains to match the brute force of the game's cooperative shooting.

Enter Payday 2. Overkill, now owned by Starbreeze, has been given a second chance at making the Payday game they've always wanted to, offering players the chance to make the perfect score.
