For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 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.

It's the first Payday game alright. It's probably the most difficult and has the best atmoshere out of the three but there's less content and less people are playing it, even compared to 3 due to it's age. Not to mention how all the heists are available on the second game so there's really no reason to play this anymore besides experiencing where it all started.
Bom demais!
нестареющая классика. онли овердрилл и не надоедает)))
This game is amazing! I see a lot of people say this game is better than payday 3, but when comparing the two id say their nothing alike. besides being heisting games, there is really nothing else in common between the two. one is a arcade shooter and one is meant to be played more strategically which is why i play both of them, they offer different play styles. anyways enough yapping, the gameplay loop is very fun! mainly you just do major objectives when the police are regrouping and stay put during assaults or you WILL die. its not for alot of people, especially if you are used to the run & gun style of payday 2, but I enjoy all of them so id reccomend if your a fan of the payday series in general you pick up the OG and check it out! in conclusion, id say this game is a 9/10, despite being much harder than basically all the payday games its still very fun and has a good community! the only thing holding it back is its lack of content but personally its enough for me, im the type of person to do a single heist like 30 times until i do it perfectly so its whatever.
I remember the simpler times when I had to beg my friends to put down Call of Duty for just an hour to try something new. Payday: The Heist was one of those games. Back then, PlayStation didn’t really have any 4-player co-op titles that could compete with the likes of Left 4 Dead or the now-forgotten Killing Floor on Xbox and PC. Admittedly, the game feels a bit dated compared to the newer entries in the franchise. The AI is lagging behind, the graphics haven't aged particularly well, and the gameplay loop isn't quite as tight as I remembered. Yet, despite its age, the game still has that specific "sparkle" that can turn a normal afternoon into one of the best gaming sessions you've ever had—especially if you snag it at a discount. If you’re new to the franchise, I’d honestly recommend starting with Payday 2: Infamous Collection. I only suggest picking up this original title if you have a dedicated group of friends to play with (public lobbies are quiet these days) or if you're a completionist interested in the roots of a legendary series. One final warning: the achievements are an absolute nightmare to tackle alone. Don’t put yourself through that pain without a crew!
tem seus problemas sobre a jogabilidade, principalmente se comparado ao segundo game, mas da pra se divertir se caso tenha mods para resolver alguns problemas de jogabilidade datada do game,
