How co-op works

Online co-op missions for up to four in procedurally generated, fully destructible caves. Scout, Gunner, Engineer, and Driller combine distinct lighting, combat, platform, and excavation tools to locate objectives, mine resources, withstand alien swarms, and extract together.

About this game

Deep Rock Galactic drops teams of up to four players into the boots of dwarven space miners hired to extract precious minerals from hostile underground planets. This is true cooperative play where each of four distinct classes brings specialized tools and abilities that the team depends on to dig, fight, and make it out alive.

Every mission sends you into procedurally generated, fully destructible cave systems where you mine resources, complete objectives, and fend off waves of alien creatures. Class synergy matters: engineers build platforms, drillers carve tunnels, scouts light the darkness, and gunners lay down covering fire. Communication and coordination turn chaotic digs into smooth operations.

Supporting online co-op for one to four players, the game encourages voice chat and teamwork as you navigate sprawling caverns, manage limited ammunition, and call for emergency extraction. Sessions blend exploration, combat, and resource management into tense, rewarding runs that feel different every time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I play Deep Rock Galactic solo or do I need other players?

You can play solo or with up to three other players online. When playing alone, you get a robot companion called Bosco to help with tasks like mining and combat, though the game is designed around cooperative teamwork with real players.

Does each class play differently, and do we need all four classes?

Yes, each of the four classes has unique tools and abilities-engineers build platforms, drillers carve tunnels, scouts provide lighting, and gunners offer heavy firepower. You don't need all four classes to complete missions, but the classes are designed to complement each other and make teamwork more effective.

Are the caves the same every time or do they change?

The cave systems are procedurally generated, so every mission takes place in a different layout. The environments are also fully destructible, meaning you can dig through terrain to create your own paths.

Do I need a microphone to play this game?

While not required, voice communication is very helpful since the game emphasizes communication-heavy teamwork. You'll be coordinating resource locations, enemy positions, and extraction timing with your team throughout missions.
