Not exactly the height of professionalism there, fellas!This one, however, is being developed by Fast Travel Games, a VR studio whose previous releases include Cities: VR, Vampire: The Masquerade: Justice, the confusion-causing Apex Construct, and the Stellaris VR spinoff Ghost Signal. Up to four people can partake in co-op multiplayer action and, possibly because finding four people with VR headsets can be a challenge unto itself, singleplayer is also supported.”Bringing the iconic Payday universe to VR has been more than a milestone for our studio—it’s been a genuine privilege,” Fast Travel CEO Oskar Burman said. “Working with an IP cherished by millions has been fantastic, and watching our team capture that magic in a fully fledged VR experience has been truly inspiring.”Article continues below You may like Three months after laying off a bunch of people, Payday studio Starbreeze lays off a bunch more people Upcoming 2026 games: All the new PC games you won’t want to miss, from big hits to hidden gems Fallen Aces’s second episode won’t be out this year, but it w
