Summary
- Payday 3 hints that it would like to collaborate with Fortnite in several posts on social media.
- Fortnite’s current focus on heists overlaps well with the focus of Payday 3.
- While some fans are excited about the idea of a collaboration, others believe it may not be necessary.
After numerous interactions, it seems as if Payday 3 is trying to get the attention of Fortnite to set up some kind of collaboration. Epic Games recently released a whole new season of Fortnite, which revamped the game’s loot pool and brought several new locations into the title.
Chapter 6 Season 2 of Fortnite focuses heavily on heists, with characters breaking into vaults, stealing from armored trucks, and purchasing weapons on the black market. Payday 3 is also a team-based shooter that involves players infiltrating guarded areas to pull off a big score. While there typically isn’t a lot of overlap between the two titles, Fortnite‘s new focus on crime has thematically brought the two franchises closer together than ever before.

Epic Games announces that it will be shutting down Fortnite servers for one of the battle royale’s game modes in the near future.
The Twitter account for Payday 3 has been dropping a lot of hints that it would like to collaborate with Fortnite during Chapter 6 Season 2. After one fan asked when they could expect to see a crossover between the two gaming properties, Payday 3 tweeted, “I’m only one call away, babe,” and tagged Fortnite‘s Twitter account. While this gained the attention of content creators and leakers like ShiinaBR and HYPEX, Epic Games never offered a response.
Payday 3 Wants to Collaborate With Fortnite
This isn’t the first time an interaction like this has happened. Previously, Payday 3 retweeted the criminal lineup of Fortnite‘s Chapter 6 Season 2 Battle Pass characters and added that they “have someone who knows this too well.” This caused quite a stir on social media, with some gamers convinced that it hinted at an upcoming collaboration between the two games. However, many believe it could just be one of several interactions where Payday 3 has attempted to grab the attention of Epic Games.
ShiinaBR pointed out that these one-sided exchanges between the team-based shooters Payday 3 and Fortnite go all the way back to 2023, when the popular battle royale had another heist-themed season. Some people said the collaboration seems “obvious” and would be a “missed opportunity” if it doesn’t happen. However, not everyone feels that uniting the two games would be a slam dunk.
Fans seem to be split on the idea of Payday 3 coming to Fortnite, with some being excited by the idea and others claiming that neither title needs the crossover. Epic Games has already arranged some impressive collaborations to go with its heist-themed season, which includes characters from Cowboy Bebop coming to Fortnite. With a whole new season to explore and more content on the way, many fans are feeling optimistic about the future of the game.
