If you paid more, you can play right now.

Those who bought the Silver or Gold editions of Payday 3 are able to start playing right now, a whole three days ahead of its "official" release on September 21. This Early Access release of Payday 3 does grant full access to the game ahead of the 21st. Meaning that if you and three buddies all bought the more expensive versions of the game, you could be heisting right this second.

There is a rather big jump in price...

Though there were some hiccups on consoles.
The Early Access release of Blizzard's Diablo 4 kicked off last night and you know what? It went pretty damn smoothly all things considered. Anybody who remembers how bad the Diablo 3 launch went can tell you that it's a night and day difference with Diablo 4's launch. Of course, the real test might still be coming up when Diablo 4 "officially" launches to everyone on June 6, 2023.

PC players were either able to hop in right...

This new game is quite the departure from its origins.

Funday Games and their publisher, Ghost Ship Publishing, just announced Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor. Gone are the co-op first-person shooter shenanigans that fans have come to know and love from the original Deep Rock Galactic. In Survivor, it's just you versus an onslaught of baddies.
