COPENHAGEN, Denmark, 29th September, 2026 – Today, Ghost Ship Publishing and Funday Games announced that Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor will be releasing on Nintendo Switch 1 & 2 and PlayStation 5. The dwarven rock mining mayhem will also be getting a brand-new Expansion, titled ‘Knockout’, bringing with it a new class and mission.
Rock and Stone, On Console!
First on the slate is Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor’s announced launch on PlayStation 5 on October 7th, as well as Nintendo Switch 1 and 2 on October 9th! After seeing rocking success on PC, mobile, and Xbox, the dwarves of Hoxxes IV are expanding their territory, giving even more workers a chance to join the Company.

Due to insufficient profit margins, the Company has deployed the Brawler, a hardy dwarf ready to smash rocks and enemies with pure power (and metal fists). The first worker to sport a mohawk, this new class introduces distinct combat abilities and powerful melee gear designed to conquer the planet’s unforgiving subterranean hazards.
The Brawler’s natural habitat is a brand-new biome, the Sandblasted Corridors. Built for only the toughest crews, this cavernous environment features mineral-providing sand twisters, looming underground stabba vines, and exploding spore plants.
In addition, Management is introducing the high-risk Brood Harvest mission. Miners will face off with the Dreadnought Empress boss, an insectoid matriarch spawning sacrificial offspring to build a biological shield between her and the elite dwarven crew. Workers, be warned – get to the Dreadnought Empress before her Brood gets to them.
“It’s been just over a year since Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor launched into 1.0, and it’s incredible how the community seems to tackle even the toughest hazards,” commented Jacob Laurits Besenbacher Kjeldsen, producer at Funday Games. “Expanding to Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5 has been a long time coming, and introducing more content has been an absolute blast!”
Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor is available on Steam, iOS, Android, and Xbox, with Nintendo Switch 1, 2, and PlayStation ports to follow.
