Payday: Aces High Opens a Co-op Heist Playtest on Quest 3 From August 20

Fast Travel Games is running a closed community playtest for Payday: Aces High, a VR co-op heist shooter, on Meta Quest 3 from August 20 through August 24, with sign-ups open now. Up to four players rob banks, museums, and a penthouse belonging to a business rival, choosing between a quiet stealth run and going loud with assault rifles, SMGs, and gadgets. The full game is slated for later in 2026.

Discussion Topics

  1. VR-only heisting: does Payday work better with your hands, or is it a niche too far?
  2. Stealth or go loud: which way do you run a heist?
  3. Would a four-player VR co-op shooter pull you back into the headset?
  4. Can a VR spinoff carry the Payday name, or does it need the flatscreen crowd?
