In this new installment, only one question remains for players to answer: What will be discovered when you dig all the way to the bottom? The mystery will be revealed on December 4th (CEST) with the game's official release.
"A Game About Digging A Hole Together" launches on December 4th (CEST) on PC (Steam, Epic Games Store, and Xbox on PC), with simultaneous releases for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2. It will also be available on Xbox Game Pass. A brand-new trailer unveiled at the ID@Xbox IGN Showcase is now live—check it out!
● More depth, more terrain, more tools, more secrets—a fully evolved digging experience
"A Game About Digging A Hole Together" retains the simple yet addictive core gameplay of its predecessor while giving players exactly what they wanted: More! More depth, more terrain, more tools, more secrets, and more to explore! And most importantly, "more players" (though you'll need to bring your own friends)!
The core mechanics remain easy to pick up: players just need to dig, sell, upgrade, and keep digging deeper—but every aspect has been fundamentally improved. Over the past few months, the development team has completely reworked the game flow from the ground up to ensure smoother and more stable performance.
Additionally, the team carefully studied and analyzed player reviews, comments, and various requests, directly incorporating this feedback into the new title.
● Strength in numbers means more fun digging! Cross-platform online multiplayer is here
Digging holes with friends has been a blast ever since our childhood days playing in the sandbox at the playground. Now, the team is taking that joy even deeper by bringing it online with cross-platform multiplayer support!
