The new sci-fi PS5 game behind today’s PlayStation Store headline is Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor. The official US PlayStation Store listing gives its release time as October 7, 2026, at 09:00 UTC. It is a single-player, top-down survivor-like auto-shooter set in the Deep Rock Galactic universe.
What kind of game is Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor?
Rather than a conventional shooter built around manually aiming each shot, Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor uses automatic weapon fire. You steer your character through procedurally generated caves on Planet Hoxxes, mine resources, complete mission objectives, collect upgrades, and try to survive waves of enemies. The PlayStation Store describes it as a single-player survivor-like auto-shooter.

Mining and movement are part of the run: the launch report describes digging through rock as a way to interact with the cave terrain. That makes terrain navigation and resource gathering part of the survival loop, alongside upgrading your character and dealing with enemy waves. The official US PlayStation Store listing provides the game’s feature description.
PS5 release and listed features
The US PlayStation Store lists Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor for PS5, with a release date and time of October 7, 2026, at 09:00 UTC. Ghost Ship Publishing ApS is the listed publisher. The store page also specifies one player, optional in-game purchases, and DualSense wireless controller vibration support.
Those details describe the digital PS5 listing. The reviewed sources do not establish a physical edition, nor do they indicate that a separate controller is required.
How much does it cost?
A PlayStation LifeStyle launch report syndicated by Yahoo reported a US$12.99 base price and three paid add-ons: the After Hours Pack at US$4.99, the Heavy Duty Expansion at US$9.99, and the Supporter Pack at US$4.99. Those amounts were not confirmed by the official US PlayStation Store content reviewed, and prices or add-on availability may vary by region or change.

What to expect from a run
- Automatic combat: Weapons fire automatically, so movement and positioning matter more than aiming each shot yourself.
- Cave exploration: Procedurally generated caves provide the setting for mining, navigating terrain, and facing enemy waves.
- Objectives and upgrades: Runs combine mission objectives with resource collection and upgrade choices.
- Solo play: The official listing specifies one player; it does not describe a multiplayer mode.
The available official description establishes those broad gameplay elements, but it does not provide a detailed comparison with another survivor-like game.
