Which Edition Of Payday 3 Should I Buy?

If you have an Xbox Series and are still on the fence about Payday 3, you might as well play it on Game Pass first and then decide if you want to jump in. Either the Silver or Gold edition would be great if you spent a lot of time with Payday 2 and know for sure you will be all in on this one too. However, we must admit that Payday 3 Collector’s Edition is very tempting!

Thanks for reading and best of luck with all the epic heists you will be embarking on when Payday 3 is released this September!
