“We’ve always admired how Ghost Ship Games built a stunning co-op game with Deep Rock Galactic that is celebrated around the world for both its gameplay and its positive community. The way players collaborate with each other and with the developer to create unforgettable experiences is precisely the kind of creator-focused content that resonates with the Skybound ethos,” said Ian Howe, Managing Partner of Skybound Games.

The Special Edition includes digital in-game bonus content packs as well as physical pack-in items for both new and existing fans of Deep Rock Galactic.

Bonus content includes:

  • 4 Premium Art Cards with art from the distinct biomes found in the underground cave systems of Hoxxes IV
  • Double-sided fold-out poster featuring A Song of Rock and Stone – the story of how an in-game salute helped build one of the friendliest online communities in the world
  • Letter from Mission Control welcoming you to the new job
  • 2 DLC content packs: Dark Future Pack and Megacorp Pack

“Working with Skybound on creating a Special Edition for Deep Rock Galactic on PS5 has been amazing. When we started talking to them we recognized the same creator-driven focus and care for the fans that we have brought to Deep Rock Galactic ever since the beginning. We all agreed early on that this version would have to be something special, which is why we have crammed as much into this Special Edition as we could. We are excited that new fans and old alike will be able to own a physical version of the game on PS5.” said Mikkel Martin Pedersen, Game Director on Deep Rock Galactic.
