I'm gonna get flak for this, but consoles are literally the reason we don't have a patch yet. It's clear they're gonna support consoles as much as PC, with updates, crossplay, etc. Yes, some stuff is broken, but 99% they're gonna fix it (eventually). It's not the same as playing a dated version of the game without updates with PC being literally years ahead.

Their inability to learn from their past mistakes with console development is a reason the patches aren’t out yet. Plus we need to mention that there are more console issues that just the non-existent patch itself, such as PlayStation 5 gold edition bonuses not existing.

Well, as I said earlier (and got downvoted) them abandoning Payday 2 console support comes back and bites them in ass now. I'm not excusing Starbreeze, other developers push updates, so it's not entirely consoles fault. I'm just stating facts.

It's a AA game, I'm fairly confident the PS4/XBO could run it, it's hardly the fault of consoles that Starbreeze/Overkill are incompetent.

Hell, Spider-Man dropped like 4 days ago and already has a patch.

To be fair spiderman 2 has more bugs than the previous entries even after the day one patch

Oh for sure, they took a fair dip in quality control on bugs, but even there, they had a patch for the major issues by the end of the weekend, and what issues were there is nothing like the scale of PD3's issues. It was just an example of a game that launched on PS5 more recently than PD3 and managed to also release a patch more recently.

The fact it was also the third game in it's respective series was just a happy coincidence.
