Overkill has permanently reduced the price of Payday 2 and a range of the game's DLC on Steam.

The discount knocks up to 44 per cent off the original cost, which the developer hopes will encourage players to "purchase a DLC that you might have been missing, or introduce a friend to the world of thieves and heistery".

The reductions arrive prior to the release of Payday 2: Crimewave Edition on PS4 and Xbox One next month, which packs in the original game plus a year's worth of DLC for around £35.
