PAYDAY: Aces High Launch

PAYDAY: Aces High Launch covers the November 5, 2026 release of PAYDAY: Aces High, a virtual reality spin-off of Starbreeze Entertainment's PAYDAY heist series. Fast Travel Games developed it under an official license. The game costs $24.99 USD, and no launch time has been announced.

The launch includes Meta Quest, SteamVR and Valve's Steam Frame. The game is listed on both the Meta Horizon Store and Steam. The release date is confirmed, but the available announcement does not provide a specific time or time zone.

Co-op heists and four playable classes

PAYDAY: Aces High supports co-op heists for up to four players. Its four playable classes are Mastermind, Ghost, Technician and Enforcer. Each class has distinct abilities.

Players can create customizable loadouts from weapons, gadgets and skills. Each job can be approached quietly through stealth or played loud. A progression system includes unlockable gear.

Playtest access and Kitty Mask reward

A final free playtest ran on Steam and Meta Quest until October 26, 2026. The game also had a demo during Steam Next Fest in October, giving players an opportunity to try it before release.

Players who took part in the final free playtest receive an exclusive in-game Kitty Mask when the full game launches. The reward depends on participation in that playtest and is separate from the game's listed $24.99 USD price.

Fast Travel Games connection

Fast Travel Games previously published The Midnight Walk. That game won Best VR/AR Game at The Game Awards 2025, another recorded milestone for the studio behind this licensed virtual reality release.

The announced feature set combines multiplayer heists for up to four people with four classes, distinct abilities, customizable equipment, stealth or loud approaches, and unlockable gear. These details describe what players can expect from the game itself without adding unconfirmed claims about platform categories, launch timing or team roles.

The confirmed release date is November 5, 2026. Meta Quest, SteamVR and Valve's Steam Frame are the named launch platforms, while Meta Horizon Store and Steam are the listed storefronts.
