Fast Travel Games is preparing to bring PAYDAY: Aces High to the Steam Frame handheld. This optimization matters because it expands the library of co-op shooters available for portable play. Players who prefer gaming on the go will soon have access to this title without needing a PC.
Developer confirms native support and upcoming playtest
The developer confirmed that the game is being optimized specifically for the Steam Frame. This suggests the handheld may support standalone execution rather than relying solely on PC streaming. The Quest 3 release further hints at native support capabilities for the device.
A playtest for the Steam Frame version is scheduled to launch in a few days. This early access allows the team to gather feedback before the final release. The game is currently scheduled for release later this year on the platform.
We looked at the last PAYDAY: Aces High update when tracking balance and stability themes. That previous coverage highlighted similar improvements that may carry over to the handheld version. The upcoming playtest will likely reveal how these changes translate to portable hardware.
