Payday 2 on Nintendo Switch is one update behind that of Xbox One and PS4, and even further from the PC release, developer Starbreeze has confirmed.
“Payday 2 is releasing on Switch with content up to and including the ‘Most Wanted’ update, which is equivalent to the content released through mid-2017 on PC,” Starbreeze confirmed with Polygon. “PS4 and Xbox One received one additional update after that, the ‘Master Plan’ update, which released near the end of 2017. So Switch is one update behind other consoles, which are slightly behind PC.”
“The reasoning for the Switch content: we’re making continuous updates to a game that’s turning 5 years old this year, and to get the game out in early 2018 on Switch meant that our team had to go with the content ported and available at the time of console submission,” Starbreeze continued. “The PS4 and Xbox One versions are now almost up to par with PC content, and Switch is close behind those versions. There are future content updates planned for Switch, as well.”
The confirmation comes after a thread on Reddit, titled “Please do not buy Payday 2 for Switch. It’s a severely outdated version. Do not support the developers!”, alerted players to the discrepancy in versions.
Payday 2 heads to Nintendo Switch later in the month. It’s already available on Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4.
