Payday: The Heist is a co-op video game developed by Overkill Software and published by Daybreak Game Company. In the game, players are bank robbers and try to rob banks as fast as possible. Here\u2019s how to play it on Linux.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Payday 2 is a native Linux game, but sadly, the previous game, \u201cPayday The Heist,\u201d is not native to Linux. So to play it, you\u2019ll have to set up the Steam app on your Linux computer, which has the Proton compatibility tool included.<\/p>\n

Install Steam<\/h3>\n

Steam works on a wide variety of Linux operating systems. To get it working on your computer, open up a terminal window on the desktop. You can open up a terminal window by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T<\/strong> on the keyboard. Or, search for \u201cTerminal\u201d in the app menu and launch it that way.<\/p>\n

With the terminal window open and ready to use, the installation can begin. Using the instructions below, set up the latest release of Steam on your computer.<\/p>\n

Ubuntu<\/h4>\n

Steam works on Ubuntu quite well. To get it working on your computer, use the apt install<\/strong> command down below.<\/p>\n

\nsudo apt install steam\n<\/pre>\n
Debian<\/h4>\n
Steam is compatible with Debian, but you\u2019ll have to download the Steam DEB package to your computer and install it that way. To download the latest release of Steam, use the wget<\/strong> download command below.<\/p>\n
\nwget https:\/\/steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net\/client\/installer\/steam.deb\n<\/pre>\n
After downloading the latest Steam DEB package to your computer, the installation can begin. Using the dpkg<\/strong> command below, install Steam.<\/p>\n
\nsudo dpkg -i steam.deb\n<\/pre>\n
With the Steam DEB package installed on your computer, you\u2019ll have to correct any dependency issues using the apt-get install -f<\/strong> command down below.<\/p>\n
\nsudo apt-get install -f\n<\/pre>\n
Arch Linux<\/h4>\n
Steam is available on Arch Linux, but you\u2019ll have to enable the \u201cmultilib\u201d software repository before you can install it. To enable this repo, open up the \/etc\/pacman.conf file in a text editor (as root).<\/p>\n
With the text file open, locate the \u201cmultilib\u201d line and remove the # symbol from in front of it. Also, remove the # symbol from the lines directly below it. Then, use the pacman<\/strong> command below to re-sync Arch Linux with the official servers.<\/p>\n
\nsudo pacman -Syy\n<\/pre>\n
Finally, install the latest release of Steam using the pacman<\/strong> command.<\/p>\n
\nsudo pacman -S steam\n<\/pre>\n
Fedora\/OpenSUSE<\/h4>\n
If you use Fedora or OpenSUSE, it is possible to get Steam working using software repositories included in the system. However, the Flatpak release of Steam works much better on these operating systems, so we suggest following those instructions instead.<\/p>\n
Flatpak<\/h4>\n
To get Steam working as a Flatpak on your Linux setup, the Flatpak runtime must first be installed. You can set up the Flatpak runtime on your computer by following our guide on the subject.<\/p>\n
Once the runtime is configured, enter the two commands down below to install Steam on your computer.<\/p>\n
\nflatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https:\/\/flathub.org\/repo\/flathub.flatpakrepo\n<\/pre>\n
\nflatpak install flathub com.valvesoftware.Steam\n<\/pre>\n
Install Payday: The Heist on Linux<\/h3>\n
With the Steam app installed, launch it on your computer. Then, log in using your user credentials and follow along with the step-by-step instructions down below to get Payday: The Heist working on Linux.<\/p>\n
Step 1:<\/strong> Open up the \u201cSteam\u201d menu and select it with the mouse. Then, locate the \u201cSettings\u201d button to access the Steam settings area. Once inside the Steam settings area, check both the \u201cEnable Steam Play for supported titles\u201d and \u201cEnable Steam Play for all other titles\u201d boxes. Click \u201cOK\u201d to save the changes.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Step 2:<\/strong> Find the \u201cStore\u201d button and click on it with the mouse. Selecting this button will bring you to the Steam Storefront page. Look for the search box, and click on it with the mouse.<\/p>\n
Type in \u201cPayday: The Heist\u201d in the search box. Then, press the\u00a0Enter<\/strong> key on the keyboard to view the search results.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Step 3:<\/strong> Look through the search results for \u201cPayday: The Heist.\u201d Select Payday to access the game\u2019s Steam Storefront page. Once on the page, find the green \u201cAdd to cart\u201d button and click on it with the mouse to add the game to the cart.<\/p>\n
After adding the game to your cart, go through the process of purchasing the game for your Steam account.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Step 4:<\/strong> When you\u2019ve purchased Payday, find the \u201cLibrary\u201d button and click on it with the mouse. Then, locate \u201cPayday\u201d in your games library, and click on the blue \u201cINSTALL\u201d button to install the game to your computer.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Step 5:<\/strong> Installation of Payday shouldn\u2019t take long. When the process is complete, the blue \u201cINSTALL\u201d button will become a green \u201cPLAY\u201d button. Select this button to start up the game. Enjoy, and happy gaming!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
