Payday 2 is similar to most first person shooters, but instead of running-and-gunning, more emphasis is put on the cooperation of players. The launch trailer for the game was released on 13 August 2013. The game was first announced in February 2013 and later previewed in March of that year, alongside an announcement of the developer's parent company: Starbreeze Studios's partnership with 505 Games. Gameplay has been heavily improved and expanded since its predecessor, with a number of new abilities. Payday 2 involves the player and their team, which consists of either friends or randomly assigned players, performing bank heists and robberies. The beta was then made available to Steam users who had Payday: The Heist in their Steam library. On 24 July 2013, a beta version for Windows was made available on Steam to users who pre-purchased Payday 2 Career Criminal Edition. It was released for Microsoft Windows on 13 August 2013, and for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on 16 August. Payday 2 is a cooperative first-person shooter video game developed by Overkill Software.
