free-to-play mobile action game, has entered soft launch in
Australia on the Google Play and
Apple App Stores. Officially licensed from Starbreeze Studios AB
("Starbreeze"), PAYDAY Crime War transports players

purchases and in-game advertising. Access to the entire universe of
PAYDAY 2 PC game and game assets, which have sold over 105 million
additional downloadable content packs (DLC's), provides PAYDAY
Crime War with an extensive pipeline of content that will keep
players engaged for years.
