It’s Heist Time! Join the Payday: Aces High Open Playtest Today on Meta Quest

Blog|20 Okt 2026|

It’s time to don your mask, join your team, and make off with the goods. Get a head start on heists in PAYDAY: Aces High by taking part in its Open Playtest through October 26.

PAYDAY: Aces High puts you and up to three friends into the roles of a squad of thieves as they exact revenge on the business titan who framed them, the best way they know how: armed robbery. You’ll plan your heists and then execute them by disabling alarms, slipping past guards, and tying up civilians to keep them from notifying the authorities — or going in guns blazing.

With a host of high-tech gadgets and powerful weapons at your disposal, you can choose how you’ll approach each job and how your team will work together when the heat turns up, so you can make sure to get away with the goods.

The Open Playtest gives you a chance to try PAYDAY: Aces High, performing heists in the Flowtrust Bank, as well as a new location: the Cosmopolitan Museum of Art. Participants will also earn the Kitty mask that your character can wear in the full game when it’s released.

Meta Quest 3 and 3S users can jump into the Open Playtest now by signing up here. The test runs until October 26. You can also join the PAYDAY: Aces High Discord server to discuss the game, find other players, and share your feedback.

While the Open Playtest won’t last forever, the good news is that you won’t have to wait to get your crew together and start your next job. PAYDAY: Aces High launches for $24.99 USD on November 5 on Quest 3 and 3S — and you can wishlist it right now on the Meta Horizon Store.
