It’s been over six years since the early access launch of Deep Rock Galactic and nearly four years after version 1.0, and the cooperative first-person shooter game featuring space dwarves is still going strong.
Last January, the game crossed the threshold of 8 million units sold across all platforms. Danish developer Ghost Ship Games is still updating Deep Rock Galactic to keep the interest high. Two days ago, they released a non-exhaustive list of content and features coming with Season 5, which apparently includes adding NVIDIA DLSS 3 support.
- NEW THEME: It’s a prelude to Rogue Core.
- NEW MISSION TYPE: There’s new work to be done. It involves searching.
- NEW ENEMIES: Some mobile, some stationary, all of them keen to kill you.
- NEW OVERCLOCKS: One for every primary weapon (12 in total).
- NEW SEASON PERFORMANCE PASS: A fresh new tree of cosmetics, credits and crafting resources to earn. Completely free as always. <3
- REPLAYING OLD SEASONS: We’re looking into a way to let players activate past seasons and play through them.
- NEW DANCE MOVES: The dwarves are learning. They’re getting stronger. Their hips are becoming more persuasive.
- COSMETIC FILTERING: Keep your wardrobe better organized, and use filters to sort your stuff by category.
- GAME OPTIMIZATION: Makes the game run better, regardless of what sort of setup you’ve got.
- NVIDIA DLSS3 INTEGRATION (FRAME GENERATION]: Sweet new tech to boost your frame rate.
- NEW DLC ARMOR: A dazzling set of shiny armor that costs real life money. Gotta keep the lights on somehow.
- PLUS, MORE TO COME
Deep Rock Galactic was updated with NVIDIA DLSS 2 and AMD FSR 2 nearly two years ago. The extra performance uplift provided by DLSS 3 will no doubt be nice for owners of GeForce RTX 40 graphics cards, although the game isn’t that taxing on PC hardware.
The franchise as a whole is thriving. A single player survivor-like auto-shooter titled Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor launched a couple of weeks ago and already sold over half a million copies. Ghost Ship Games is also working on a roguelite spin-off called Rogue Core, which doesn’t have a release date yet.
