Dumpster Gang Release Date: PC and Game Pass in December, PS5, Xbox and Switch 2 in March
When Dumpster Gang comes out on PC, Game Pass, PS5, Xbox and Switch 2, what it costs, how many can play and whether it has crossplay.
Dumpster Gang, the raccoon heist sandbox from Human Fall Flat publisher Curve Games, arrives in two waves: PC on 3 December 2026, consoles in March 2027. Here's every release date, what Game Pass covers and what's still unannounced, from Curve, Xbox Wire, Nintendo and the store pages.
When does Dumpster Gang come out?
On PC, 3 December 2026. Curve and developer Coyote House Games set the date on 19 October, for Steam, Xbox on PC and PC Game Pass. The console versions follow in March 2027, with no exact day yet. No release time has been given for either.
- PC (Steam and Xbox on PC): 3 December 2026
- PC Game Pass: 3 December 2026, day one
- Xbox Series X|S and Xbox Game Pass: March 2027
- PlayStation 5: March 2027
- Nintendo Switch 2: March 2027
Is Dumpster Gang on Game Pass?
Yes, from day one on PC. Xbox Wire's reveal in August confirmed it for PC Game Pass at launch, and Curve's console announcement on 28 October adds Xbox Game Pass on Xbox Series X|S in March 2027. Curve hasn't said which console Game Pass tiers will include it.
Is Dumpster Gang on PS5?
Yes, in March 2027. The PlayStation Store page is already up for wishlists, still showing the release date as to be determined, with one player per console and up to four online. Curve has announced PS5 only, not PS4.
Is Dumpster Gang on Switch?
Only on Switch 2. Curve and Nintendo both list Nintendo Switch 2, and no version for the original Switch has been announced. The game appeared in Nintendo's Indie World showcase on 28 October (our Indie World roundup has the rest of the show).
Nintendo says the Switch 2 version supports Joy-Con 2 mouse controls and GameShare, locally or online via GameChat. With GameShare, friends can play a copy shared from a Switch 2 for the length of that session. Online play needs a Nintendo Switch Online membership. There's no eShop price or file size yet.
How much does Dumpster Gang cost?
Not announced. The official press kit lists the price as TBA, and the Steam page has no price yet. You can try it for free first: the demo on Steam and Xbox on PC includes the tutorial and the first two levels.
How many players can play Dumpster Gang?
One to four. You can play alone or with up to three friends in online co-op, carrying heavy loot together, solving puzzles and rescuing teammates the Exterminator has caught. Steam lists single-player and online co-op, the PlayStation Store lists up to four online players, and Nintendo describes online co-op for up to four.
Split-screen isn't part of any announcement from Curve. The Microsoft Store listing does tag shared or split screen, so couch co-op on Xbox is unconfirmed rather than ruled out.
Does Dumpster Gang have crossplay?
Not announced. Curve hasn't said whether players on PC and consoles can play together, or whether progress carries across platforms. Until it does, plan on playing with friends on the same platform.
Does Dumpster Gang use AI?
No AI use is disclosed. Dumpster Gang's Steam page has no AI generated content disclosure.
What is Dumpster Gang?
You play a gang of raccoons who break into buildings at night to scavenge dumpsters, steal junk and raid snacks, while dodging the traps of a relentless Exterminator. Get caught and your friends have to rescue you. Between missions you return to a hideout you decorate with stolen junk, and unlock hats that each come with their own ability.
It's the first game from Coyote House Games, a two-person studio: Sam was game director on Midnight Ghost Hunt, and Jake spent nearly a decade on animation projects for companies such as Marvel and Warner Music.
