A Game About Digging A Hole™

A Game About Digging A Hole™ launched on February 7, 2025, as a small passion project built by solo developer Ben in his spare time while working on another game. It quickly became a surprise hit, selling over 1 million copies and reaching the Top 30 on Steam Charts. After launch, the developer shipped a series of feature patches through late 2025 adding quality-of-life improvements (FOV slider, motion blur toggle, autosave, UI scaling, and gamepad refinements), along with targeted bug fixes. The game expanded to consoles (Xbox, PlayStation, Switch) and mobile platforms on December 9, 2025. The only DLC released for the game is "A Tale About Digging a Hole – The Official Story Novel," a Steam eBook that shipped on December 9, 2025, expanding the game's lore. No DLC remains unreleased, and the developer has made no announcements of further content for this game. Most significantly, the developer's attention has fully shifted back to Solarpunk — the main project that was underway before Digging A Hole was created. Solarpunk launched on June 8, 2026, and the most recent communication about A Game About Digging A Hole was a minor Dynamite bug fix on March 2, 2026. There are no roadmaps, announced expansions, or stated plans for further content updates to this game. Given the game's origins as a small side project, the developer's explicit focus now being on Solarpunk, all released DLC being shipped, and the absence of any announced future content, the game appears to have reached its natural completion point with the console/mobile release and eBook DLC in December 2025.
