2020 video game

Deep Rock Galactic is a cooperative first-person shooter video game developed by Danish studio Ghost Ship Games and published by Coffee Stain Publishing. Following its early access launch on February 28, 2018, the game was fully released on May 13, 2020 for Microsoft Windows and Xbox One. It was later released for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 in January 2022, and for Xbox Series X/S in September 2022.

Deep Rock Galactic is set on the alien planet of Hoxxes IV, whose caves are rich in precious minerals but filled with hostile wildlife and environmental hazards. The player controls a dwarf miner employed by Deep Rock Galactic, an intergalactic mining corporation, to extract valuable resources and operate a variety of heavy machinery. Players can team up with up to three other dwarves on missions deep below the planet, where they must navigate procedurally generated caves and complete objectives while fighting swarms of alien enemies.

The game received positive reviews from critics, who praised its class-based gameplay and atmosphere. The game has sold over eight million units as of January 2024 and has been part of the Xbox Game Pass subscription service since November 2020. It was also available to PlayStation Plus subscribers during the month of its release.
