The new sci-fi shooter arriving on PS5 today is Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor, a single-player, top-down auto-shooter set in the Deep Rock Galactic universe. The US PlayStation Store lists its release for October 7, 2026 at 09:00 UTC.
What kind of game is Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor?
Ghost Ship Publishing’s game takes place on Planet Hoxxes. It is a survivor-like built around automatic weapon fire: you guide your character through waves of enemies while weapons aim and shoot automatically. The official PlayStation Store listing describes it as a “single player survivor-like auto-shooter.”

How does a run work?
Caves are procedurally generated, and survival is tied to more than defeating enemies. You mine resources, dig through rock to navigate the terrain, complete mission objectives, and collect upgrades as enemy waves press in. This combines the familiar survivor-like loop of fighting and improving a build with resource gathering and cave navigation.
- Move and mine: Explore the cave and gather resources.
- Complete objectives: Progress through the mission rather than focusing only on surviving waves.
- Collect upgrades: Build up your capabilities during the run.
- Fight automatically: Weapons fire without manual aiming and shooting.
