Fast Travel Games, in partnership with Starbreeze Entertainment, has announced virtual reality cooperative heist game PAYDAY: Aces High for SteamVR and Quest. It will launch in 2026.
“For the past 15 years, we’ve admired how PAYDAY lets players jump into scenarios straight out of the wildest Hollywood crime movies and take heists into their own hands,” said Fast Travel Games chief creative officer and co-founder Erik Odeldahl in a press release. “We’re kicking things up to the next level this year with PAYDAY: Aces High—get ready to lock-and-load with up to three other heisters, in the immersion that only VR can bring!”
Starbreeze Entertainment CEO Adolf Kristjansson added, “PAYDAY is one of the most iconic franchises in gaming, with more than 50 million players worldwide. Fast Travel Games is a globally respected [virtual reality] studio with over a decade of [virtual reality] experience. They are the ideal partner to bring PAYDAY to this platform. With Aces High, we are expanding the PAYDAY universe and inviting players to plan and execute heists together in a fully immersive experience. Under their leadership, Aces High is not just an adaptation. It is a true PAYDAY game built from the ground up for this medium.”
Here is an overview of the game, via Fast Travel Games:
About
Mask up as one of The Aces, an elite group of heisters with access to bleeding-edge tech, black-market toys, and weapons no sane dealer would list. Framed by business titan Warren Jupiter and thrown in jail, the time has come for you to hit him where it hurts: banks, museums—hell, even his so-called “untouchable” penthouse.
The Rush of the Score
Roll out with up to three partners in crime. Plan the job, stack your tools, and execute with precision. Every alarm you dodge, every bag you haul, every trigger you pull pushes you closer to that flawless payday… or the kind of heat that burns cities to the ground.
Guns, Gadgets, and Getting Even
Gear up and hit the score with an arsenal that keeps growing—ARs, SMGs, shotguns, pistols, plus gadgets like grapple and sentry guns. Spend your hard-earned cash and rep to unlock the skills, gear, and toys that crank your heisting game to the next level.
The Aces
- Ace of Hearts: The Mastermind – The brain behind the chaos. Lines up every angle, every fallback, every escape.
- Ace of Clubs: The Ghost – Silent, surgical, gone before anyone knows they’ve been fooled.
- Ace of Diamonds: The Technician – Gadget freak. Orchestrating the theater of destruction.
- Ace of Spades: The Enforcer – The hammer that keeps hitting when things go loud.
Load out YOUR way. Mix weapons, gadgets and skills into one high-caliber heister.
