Gaddy Games first brought the survival crafting action ofDig or Dieto Steam Early Access back in March 2015, followed by the full launch in July 2018. Now, nearly a decade after its initial Early Access debut, publisher Blitworks GamesrevealedthatDig or Dieis digging (and dying) on over to PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
You can see more of what awaits inDig or Diein the new Console Edition trailer below.
Dig or Dieis another cautionary tale that warns of the risks inherent to crashing your spaceship on a hostile planet. While you attempt to rebuild your ship and escape, you’ll need to find a way to survive through crafting and, particularly after the sun sets, fending off hordes of vicious creatures.
There’s a lot of playing around with physics to be had here. Beyond just building structures,Dig or Dietasks you with making sure you actually do so thoughtfully. Build without care or consideration and your structures run the risk of collapsing, pushing your escape back even further. There are also water cycles—including threats of rain, underwater rivers, and other aquatic obstacles—that play into the integrity of your base and your basic survival.
Down in the underground
Outside of the main areas,Dig or Dieis full of procedurally-generated locales, so the layouts of everything from the surface to the depths of caves can change each time you play. There are also custom game modes that let you start out under a massive ocean or in a world made up of flying islands. Or simply skip all the exploration and play the stripped-down Base Defense mode for concentrated building and defending.
you’re able to dig and/or die whenDig or Diehits consoles on July 26, 2025.
