COPENHAGEN, Denmark, 9th October 2026 – Today, Funday Games and Ghost Ship Publishing launched Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor on Nintendo Switch 1&2 for Europe and America*! The hit survivor-like follows space dwarves deep into the crust of planet Hoxxes IV on a mission to extract valuable minerals, upgrade gear, and avoid an untimely death at the hands of encroaching enemies.

The title has seen huge success since its Early Access Launch on PC in February 2024, selling over 2 million copies and earning the trust of the foolhardy Deep Rock Galactic community. 1.0 saw its launch on Xbox Series X|S, followed closely by iOS and Android ports for miners on the go. A PlayStation 5 port was also released earlier this week, on 7th October.

Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor invites eager miners to:

• Dig into Bullet Heaven: The single-player auto-shooter pits players against massive swarms of lethal aliens, shifting player focus to dodging bugs and blasting through hordes automatically.
• Carve Their Own Path: Workers can bore through solid rock to escape deadly enemies or tunnel straight towards precious minerals embedded deep within the cavernous walls of Hoxxes IV – adding a tactical layer to the survivor-like playstyle.
• Mine Their Business: Lone miners must complete high-stakes mission objectives handed down by Management, upgrading their lethal arsenal and extracting via Drop Pod with a hefty sack of loot.
• Rock a Fresh Perspective: The title reimagines the Deep Rock Galactic universe through an action-packed top-down lens, delivering procedurally generated caves where no two missions are ever the same.

“We’ve had a great time making Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor,” says Jacob Laurits Besenbacher Kjeldsen, producer at Funday Games. “We've seen huge success with players on the Steam Deck, so bringing the title to Nintendo Switch felt like the natural next step. It's also the first in the Deep Rock Franchise to be released on the device, which is a huge milestone for the team. Rock and Stone!”

Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor is available on Steam, iOS, Android, Xbox, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch.
