Edit: It's not my Switch. They're not my photos. They're from here. I know the thing is in bad shape, and the photos suck, but they ain't mine.

Update 130 was released over a year ago. The PC version is currently at update 172.

Update 131 was the John Wick Heists update, and it also changed the billboards in game to the new community made designs. The Switch version has these billboards so I thought it was at least Update 131, but as it turns out, the John Wick Heists are missing from the game (This thread has a lot of information. Specifically the following images. Sorry for the poor quality, but these are someone else's photos)

Although the images don't show it, apparently Jimmy and his heists are in the game. Sangres, Duke and H3H3 are all missing which means there's no way it's over version 144.

This means that so far, the footage Overkill has released "on the Switch" is just the PC version with Joy added in capped at 30 FPS, or for some bizarre reason, they updated the billboard textures but left the rest of the updates out... ?

The John Wick Heists were released February 9th, 2017. The Switch version, on release, is already over a year outdated. No Crime Spree. No AI Henchmen. No Desync Update. Four characters, three perk decks, 16 guns, 8 melee weapons, 2 grenades, 9 heists, at LEAST 50 masks, countless bug fixes and optimizations (when I say countless, I mean it. Easily over 200) just... missing.

Someone has pointed out that Panic Room is also missing from the heist list meaning the Switch version could potentially be below update 118, which was nearly two years ago, and is even further behind than the PS4 and Xbox One versions.

Fuck you Overkill? Like... what the fuck? I was defending Overkill at this point even though their console ports have been abandoned because I was under the impression that an exclusive character would require the latest version of the game. I thought we were getting the most recent version and nothing else. I would have been happy with that. I honestly would have been able to forgive all the missing content but no fucking Desync Update? Are you fucking joking? Arguably one of the most important updates in all of PAYDAY history, and you leave it out?

I really wanted to buy PAYDAY on the Switch just to play solo on-the-go. I really honestly still do, but I'm going to force myself not to because this is bullshit. Not counting sales, PAYDAY 2 Ultimate Edition on Steam costs $45 USD. PAYDAY 2 for Nintendo Switch costs $50 USD. Why are we paying $5 more for an outdated version of the game with less content? So I can play it on-the-go and think to myself, "wow, I really wish I was playing the full version right now"?

Holy shit. This sounds like the developers were sitting on a cancelled Wii U port from a few years ago and just quickly ported it to Switch.

The devs never gave a shit about console versions. Not surprised.

I had hope. I just lost it.
