Payday 3 Developers Provide Comic Relief with Rickrolling QR Codes Amid Rocky Launch

  • Payday 3 developers are trolling players by putting QR codes in the game that Rickroll them when scanned. This prank provides some humor amid a rocky launch.

  • Payday 3 launched on September 21, but server issues, matchmaking problems, and the online-only requirement have led to negative reviews.

  • Scannable QR codes located around heist maps lead players to Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" YouTube video.

  • Players have reacted with surprise and delight to the Rickroll QR codes, finding the prank funny despite the game's problems.

  • The online-only requirement for Payday 3 has proved especially controversial, since previous games allowed offline play.
