Expanding the Payday Universe
Aces High serves as a specialized spinoff of the iconic heist franchise originally crafted by Starbreeze. While the core series is known for its massive scale, this VR iteration focuses on the intimate, high-stakes tension that only virtual reality can provide.
During our initial hands-on experience with the August closed playtest, the gameplay loop proved to be incredibly addictive, positioning it as a potential staple for social VR gaming sessions. While that early build was limited to a single mission, the upcoming launch version will double the content, shipping with two distinct heists for players to master.
With the VR market seeing a surge in demand for cooperative shooters-a genre that has historically thrived on platforms like SteamVR and the Quest store-Aces High is well-positioned to capture the attention of fans looking for polished, team-based tactical action.
