A Steam Community Announcement has word from developer OVERKILL that PAYDAY 2 will be officially released on Steam on August 13th, and will roll out for all platforms over a three day period (thanks Eurogamer). Here's word:

We have now made sure that everything is in order and that our contracts are in place. The weapon shipments have been ordered and are on their way to D.C. while Bain continues to work on attracting new contacts to Crime.net.

The PAYDAY 2 release date for Steam has been confirmed!

PAYDAY 2 will be out on Steam on August 13th. The other platforms will follow suit and be out between the 13th and the 16th.

The store page description will be updated shortly.

A big thank you to our PAYDAY community, to everyone who has helped us beta test the game so far and posted messages online, sent us feedback and told us how much you appreciate our work. We salute you.
