Evaluation

Deep Rock Galactic launched out of Early Access on May 13, 2020 and has maintained a consistent pattern of major free seasonal updates ever since. The most recent was Season 06 ('Relics of Hoxxes'), which went live on January 29, 2026, bringing a brand-new biome (Ossuary Depths), a new mission type (Heavy Excavation), three new enemy types, and a full free Performance Pass of cosmetic rewards. A new cosmetic DLC pack (Relic Raider Pack) also launched alongside Season 06. Follow-up bug fix and feature patches were published through March 2, 2026, keeping the game actively maintained. The clearest signal for what's coming next is a pair of announcements from Ghost Ship Games: on September 16, 2026, they revealed they would be appearing in Coffee Stain Publishing's Big Break Showcase on September 29, 2026, promising "some exciting stuff to share about good ol' DRG" that they say "will make you smile." A follow-up post on September 25, 2026 confirms the showcase is still happening the next day and adds that Rocktoberfest (a seasonal in-game event) is now live. As of today's date — September 28, 2026 — the showcase has not yet aired, so the specific announcement is still unknown. But the developer has made an explicit, public commitment to announce new content for Deep Rock Galactic imminently.

About this game

Hello Miner, and congratulations on joining DEEP ROCK GALACTIC! It’s the beginning of a bright new career for you.

We’re preparing to send you and your colleagues down into the rich mines of Hoxxes IV. If you’re a hard worker, a good shot and a reliable team player, you should have respectable odds of survival.

Award-winning co-op gameplay puts 1-4 players together to explore labyrinthian procedurally-generated cave systems, extract valuable minerals, and fight for their lives against alien hordes.

Play as four unique classes:

  • SCOUT: The nimble wayfinder. Light the way with your flare gun, zip around with your grappling hook, and be the first to fall down a really deep hole.

  • GUNNER: The heavy weapons guy. Great at turning alive things into dead things, and keeping teammates safe behind his impenetrable bubble shield.

  • ENGINEER: The defensive support specialist. Sentry guns, land mines and 40mm grenades help you keep a secure perimeter.

  • DRILLER: The living bulldozer. Carve through terrain and shape the work site with your handheld drills, and solve problems using your flamethrower and C4 charges.

Each class brings their own strengths to the team. Use your toolkits in tandem and work together to bring your whole crew home safe.

Explore an endless labyrinth of procedurally-generated caves – no two missions are alike.

You’ll need to rely on your wits and your traversal tools to navigate through narrow, snaking passages and vast caverns alike. Dig into 11 distinct biomes, each with their own unique cave formations and colorful (sometimes deadly) flora and fauna.

And with 100% destructible environments, you can shape the terrain as you see fit. Dig tunnels, collapse stalagmites and close off choke points to make your job easier.

Your work in the mines will pit you against the many creatures of Hoxxes IV who don’t take kindly to your presence.

Keep your finger on the trigger, and learn to defend yourself against hordes of over 50 different enemy types, all of which are keen to bite, slash and acid-spit you to death. Some fly, some crawl, some snatch you from above and below. You’ll need to keep your wits about you, and make sure your teammates have your back.

Unlock thousands of cosmetics, weapons and player upgrades, making for hundreds of hours of gameplay as you work your way up the ranks and become a star employee.

Deep Rock Galactic features six full seasons of additional content on top of the base game, and it’s all free. No time-limited battlepasses, no FOMO shop rotations, no gated content. The only extras you can buy are a couple DLC armors.

The Deep Rock Galactic Corporation isn’t known for its benefits package. But at least there’s a bar on the Space Rig.

Enough talk – it’s time to get to work, and join millions of other motivated employees!

NO DWARF LEFT BEHIND - FOR ROCK AND STONE!
