It looks like Payday 3 is trying to catch Fortnite’s eye for a potential team-up, with several posts on social media hinting at a possible collaboration. This comes as Fortnite dives into its latest season, freshening up its loot options and adding new spots to explore.
The current season, Chapter 6 Season 2, has a strong focus on heists. Players find themselves breaking vaults open, raiding armored trucks, and sourcing weapons from the black market. Coincidentally, Payday 3’s gameplay revolves around executing well-planned heists with your team. Although these games target different audiences, the heist-centric theme now brings them closer than ever.
Recently, the Payday 3 Twitter account has been playfully nudging towards a crossover with Fortnite during this season. It all started when a Twitter user asked when to expect a collaboration, prompting Payday 3 to tweet, “I’m only one call away, babe,” tagging Fortnite in the process. While this sparked interest among content creators and leakers like ShiinaBR and HYPEX, there hasn’t been any official response from Epic Games yet.
This isn’t the first instance of such a playful exchange. Payday 3 also shared a post featuring Fortnite’s Chapter 6 Season 2’s Battle Pass characters, mentioning, “I know someone who knows this scene too well.” This cryptic message created quite a buzz online, with many speculating about a potential crossover. However, it might just be another effort by Payday 3 to grab Epic Games’ attention.
According to ShiinaBR, these little snippets between Payday 3 and Fortnite go back to a heist-themed season in 2023. Some fans see the collaboration as a natural fit and believe it would be a missed chance if it doesn’t happen. Conversely, others argue that neither game desperately needs such a crossover. Fortnite has already locked in some impressive collaborations for its current heist-themed season, bringing in characters from Cowboy Bebop. With the new season under way and more exciting updates promised, the future’s looking bright for Fortnite enthusiasts, whether or not Payday 3 joins the fun.
