Max Payne is a man with nothing to lose in the violent, cold urban night. A fugitive undercover cop framed for murder, hunted by cops and the mob, Max is a man with his back against the wall, fighting a battle he cannot hope to win. Prepare for pain…

Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Game doesn't actually run without doing some extra homework on modern systems. So shame on the devs for selling it as such and Steam for allowing games that don't even run to be sold.
Christ, now this is a game. It's like right after the tutorial you know it's gonna be great. Be forewarned however that you need to do a lot of patching and configuring to make it behave. Also, no controller support but the keyboard works really nice.

4 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
4 on sale11 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 11 “not sold” markets are read from the Steam price pass of Sep 7: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price in those. The 4 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

Tout d'abord, je précise que je note le jeu en lui-même, et pas le jeu en l'état sur steam, car sinon effectivement ça mériterait un gros pouce rouge, le jeu est clairement pas optimisé pour tourner sur les OS récents, ce qui est vraiment un gros problème (et j'ai malheureusement l'impression que c'est le cas pour beaucoup de vieux jeux sur pc, il suffit que le jeu ait plus de 15 ans et c'est l'enfer à faire tourner). SI VOUS VOULEZ FAIRE TOURNER LE JEU SUR WINDOWS 10/11, INSTALLEZ LE PATCH MAX PAYNE FIX PACK !!!! La grande partie des problèmes sera réglé avec ce patch, et vous pourrez jouer au jeu convenablement. Si vous jouez avec la version FR vendue sur Steam, il vous faudra également remplacer vos fichiers de niveaux, car passé le niveau de metro le jeu va planter et vous ne pourrez pas avancer. C'est "normal", la version actuellement en vente a des fichiers corrompues et est non fonctionnelle. Donc vous avez deux grosses installations à faire : - Le Max Payne Fix Pack : https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1633394421 - Les bons fichiers des niveaux corrompus : www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/5o2166vvt9tu8vz944ffw/Patch.7z?rlkey=aw7ctz2bzym5y8o0t23962tc6&dl=0 Une fois tout ça installé (Pitié faites le vraiment sur PC, la version consoles est une abomination, les textures sont moins détaillés, les niveaux sont découpés en plus petites sections, bref le jeu a été saboté sur consoles), on est face a un très très grand jeu qui a marqué son époque. Pour cause, ce jeu a révolutionné le TPS en apportant le bullet time, et a littéralement posé les bases de tous les jeux de tirs en troisième personne qui sortent encore à l'heure actuelle. Il est encore très jouable à l'heure actuelle et est très fun à prendre en main, le gameplay est vraiment précis et tout répond très bien. Et à ce gameplay excellent se rajoute la narration et l'ambiance de polar noir imaginés par Remedy et Sam Lake, qui sont des génies absolus et qui vont confirmer leur savoir faire dans leurs jeux suivants. Mais pour un jeu sorti en 2001 la narration est vraiment excellente, les personnages sont charismatiques, même les cinématiques faites en mode comics sont très belles et dessinent ce qui va être une ambiance singulière. Le niveau d'interaction avec l'environnement est encore fou, plein d'objets du décor peuvent se casser en tirant dessus, les douilles que vous tirez restent par terre, les chargeurs que vous changer également, le moteur physique du jeu est juste dingue, dire que ce jeu a 25 ans et qu'il fout encore la honte a plein de jeux qui sortent actuellement sur cet aspect. Les graphismes du jeu étaient vraiment au top du top de ce qui pouvait se faire en 2001, maintenant il est vrai que les visages des personnages ont très mal vieillis, mais l'exploit graphique est très impressionnant pour l'époque (gérer un tel moteur physique avec un moteur graphique pareil reste un exploit). Les deux points noirs que je pourrais lui reprocher sont les voix françaises, je trouve le doublage vraiment nanardeux et raté, privilégiez la voix originale avec le regretté James McAffrey (je ne sais pas si il y a possibilité de mettre la VO ou si il existe un mod pour y jouer avec), et la difficulté adaptative qui fait peut être un peu n'importe quoi par moment, mais tout le reste est tellement exceptionnel que c'est vraiment minime. En bref, Max Payne mérite son statut de jeu culte, OUI il mérite 89 de Metascore, OUI il mérite 9 en User score sur Metacritic, et bien sur qu'objectivement, il a marqué le média. Il faudrait être fou pour dire le contraire, il a apporté énormément au jeu vidéo actuel. C'est un immense jeu, que j'ai adoré faire de A à Z, et je n'ai aucune hésitation a penser qu'il serait facilement dans un top 50 des meilleurs jeux ever. Voila, c'est ma chronique, jouez à ce chef d'oeuvre qu'est Max Payne, jouez également à Max Payne 2 et 3 qui sont énormes aussi.
Make sure you use the MaxPayne-FixItAll mod. The game's sound would not work without it. Great game, loads of style and atmosphere. The combat feels old and janky, but it's tons of fun to play with.
Back in the PS2 era, my friends and I used to play Max Payne 1 and 2 together. We had a rule: once you died, you passed the controller to the next player. I have no idea how many times we finished both games. At some point, every single one of us was capable of completing a full run without dying. I even remember finishing multiple levels on the hardest difficulty without getting hit a single time. We knew every level by heart, blindly tossing grenades to take out enemies seconds before they even walked through a door. Playing it again after roughly 25 years hits the nostalgia factor incredibly hard. This is actually my first time playing it on PC. Even though these represent early 3D graphics, they have aged surprisingly well. Thanks to the community, you can use mods to play flawlessly in a 32:9 ultrawide aspect ratio. I haven't tried any path-tracing mods yet, but it is amazing that options like that even exist for a game this old. I absolutely love the noir atmosphere, the overall art style, the soundtrack, and the graphic-novel narrative. The voice actors did a phenomenal job. I know the official Max Payne 1 & 2 remakes are coming soon, but this original version, paired with a few essential community patches, is still a masterpiece and perfectly playable on modern PC hardware.
I haven't played Max Payne since the PS2 days and I'm happy to know the game is still fun as hell. The story is still strong and the gunplay holds up great especially on the Steamdeck. If you are having issues running it on Steamdeck, go to the Max Payne steam guides page and under 'Modding or Configurations' look up the guide by 5L0TH called: "How to get Max Payne working on Steam Deck". The fix is as easy as dragging and dropping a downloaded file in the Max Payne game folder. Its very simple and it makes the game run perfect. After installing, I was able to do a run of the whole game with no issues.
If you're willing to patch your games, this is a recommend. However, go into this expecting to patch launcher crashes, audio not playing, buggy physics interactions, and potentially more. I personally can't recommend this in the state that it's in, even if this is my favorite.
the fact this allowed to be sold while being completely non functional is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ insane like at least the fallout games actually allow you to play the game for a bit before they crash this couldn't get past the first cutscene with the patch that's supposed to fix it play the game on og hardware instead
Amazing game and holds up really well. Was enjoyable in 2001 and just as enjoyable in 2025. You need to download the Max Payne Fix for it to work properly but great game nonetheless
UNE HONTE QUE CETTE VERSION SOIT A LA VENTE !!! J’achète pas un jeu Steam pour passer 1 heure a trouver des fix et les mettre en place !!! Bug au lancement Pas de son dans les parties Comics Plante au passage du deuxieme niveau Bug de mouvement EMULEZ LA VERSION PC OU PS2 A CE MOMENT LA, ACHETEZ PAS LE JEU ! UNE HONTE !!!
