Auto shooter Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor will launch 1.0 on Steam on September 17th

Ghost Ship Publishing and developer Funday Games are excited to announce that their survivor-like auto shooter Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor will be launching into 1.0 on Steam on September 17th. As revealed during today’s Triple-i Initiative showcase, the 1.0 launch will be bringing over a year’s worth of Early Access updates and much more when it releases later this year.



Prepare for the deadliest dive yet in Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor, a single-player roguelike that evolves the survivor-like genre. Become a one-man army, as each expedition into the depths of Planet Hoxxes mutates with increasingly intense challenges. Fight against waves of deadly bugs, upgrade gear, and mine for riches to grow in strength as the odds of survival diminish the deeper players dig into Planet Hoxxes.

After launching into Early Access on February 14th last year, Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor quickly became one of 2024’s best-selling games on Steam. Since then, the game has seen four major content updates, and a plethora of minor updates, including:

Salt Pits, a new biome where players can weaponise the environment

Azure Weald, a new biome filled to the brim with magical crystals of mysterious origin

Dreadnought Twins, a new boss type, as well as a rework of the Dreadnought boss

Mastery system that encourages players to, well, master different weapons and biomes

Mutators serve as an added challenge and variation across rotated daily and weekly dives

Anomaly Dives, which change the rules of the game and bring a greater challenge

Multiple new enemy units, from the elusive Huuli Hoarders to Glyphid Wardens to pesky Mini Exploders

Dozens of overclocks and artifacts, as well as a wide number of QoL changes, optimisation, and gameplay improvements

“After a year of hard work, we are excited to finally bring a fully realised Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor to players around the world,” said Funday Games producer, Jacob Laurits Besenbacher Kjeldsen. “Our dedicated community has been instrumental in making this happen, helping us shape the game it is today and being involved in activities such as our Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor Ultimate Challenge Invitational. It’s been a fantastic journey and we can’t wait to show you what we have cooked up for the 1.0 launch. ”
