Last year, the arrival of Payday 3a game that was going to continue with the cooperative heists that people couldn't stop playing in the previous installment, but things didn't turn out to be what was expected and everything led to a perfect disaster that not even the game itself Embracer Group could ignore, This leads us to the fact that in starbreeze They will be looking for a new approach in management, so unfortunately the person who holds the CEO position has had to forcibly leave his position.
The dismissal of Tobias Sjögrencomes as part of a notice to investors, as the developer based in Stockholm He said that he needs different leadership, after a difficult period of instability, since his last game unfortunately failed to resume the negative start it generated. Meanwhile, Juergen Goeldner has been appointed interim CEO, this person joined the board of directors of starbreeze in 2023, to now have a more important role.
Here is part of the statement:
The company has a clear strategy focused on creating engaging games on our own and licensed IP. The council's consolidated assessment is that the execution of the strategy needs different leadership.
Juergen Goeldner has been on the board of directors since 2023 and, with more than 40 years of experience in the sector, is a solid interim solution.
On behalf of the board of directors, I would like to thank Tobias Sjögren for his achievements over the past three years. Tobias took command of Starbreeze at a challenging phase of his journey and we wish him the best in his future endeavors.
Here is what was mentioned by the new interim CEO:
Starbreeze has a strong track record in developing and publishing games globally. Following the launch of Payday 3, the company is well positioned to leverage the organization's strengths to monetize and develop the intellectual property portfolio.
I look forward to taking on an operational role and, together with management, ensuring the execution of this strategy.
Remember that Payday 3 Is available in PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC.

Editor's note: It was obvious that the ravages of the game were not going to wait, perhaps they should have waited much longer to launch it. The consequences could have been different, unless the big bosses were pushing to put it up for sale as quickly as possible.
