Payday 2 Demo And Lootbag DLC Available Today
If you didn't pre-order Payday 2 and want to get your hands on the bundle of goodies that came with early copies, you're in luck. If you have been interested in trying the game but wanted to wait for a free demo, today is also your day.
A demo of Overkill's Payday 2 is now live on Xbox 360 with a PlayStation 3 release of the trial coming soon. The Lootbag DLC that came with pre-ordered copies can also be yours today (on both systems) for $4.99. That includes:
- Military red dot weapon sight available for use on all rifles and shotguns
- Bundle of in-game cash
- Skull mask
- Black and red mask
- Mask with "I Love OVERKILL!"

Our Take
The more often I see pre-order bonuses becoming available for sale later, the more hope I have that the publishers are using the practice to motivate rather than punish. I don't mind missing out on these things at launch if I have confidence I'll be able to do so with cash later on.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
