Quick answer (verified October 9, 2026): Deep Dish Dungeon is scheduled for October 13, 2026 on Steam, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox PC and Xbox cloud services, with a day-one Xbox Game Pass release and Xbox Play Anywhere support. Behold Studios’ exploration game supports one player or up to three players total in online co-op (you plus two friends). Publisher Raw Fury has announced a $14.99 US launch price on Steam. A Steam demo is available before launch.
The unusual hook is that preparing food is part of progression. Rather than rushing straight to combat, you explore a hand-crafted dungeon, bring useful materials back to camp, make tools, cook meals and solve environmental puzzles. Here is what the publisher and game storefront actually confirm before launch, including the less obvious limits of the free demo.
Deep Dish Dungeon release date and launch platforms
Raw Fury’s August 27 release-date announcement sets the launch for Tuesday, October 13, 2026. Its list includes Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC, Xbox Cloud, Steam on PC and Xbox Game Pass, with Xbox Play Anywhere and verification for supported Xbox handheld devices. This is a forward-looking date as of October 9; any last-minute change will appear first on the publisher’s and storefronts’ official channels.
The Steam store listing separately confirms October 13 and lists Windows and macOS system requirements. The current first-party announcements do not establish a PlayStation or Nintendo version for October 13. A store badge for one system is not evidence of a version on every console.

How much will Deep Dish Dungeon cost?
On October 6, the developer’s official Steam announcement channel revealed a price of $14.99 / €14.99 / £13.99. These are announcement prices, not universal final totals: tax, regional pricing, promotions and platform-specific listings can affect what you pay. If your Xbox Game Pass tier includes the game, you might not need to purchase it separately to try the release.
To avoid confusing a free trial with full ownership, look at the button label in Steam. Play Demo is not the same as purchasing the full October 13 game.
Can three people play together?
Yes. The official game description says it can be played solo or with up to two friends, which means three players total in online co-op. Some older announcements used different wording, so the game’s current Steam product page and its 2026 release announcement are the safest references.
The cooperative element is about exploration and sharing discoveries: split attention between puzzles, find resources and work out how the hand-crafted dungeon’s paths connect. Because the experience is designed around curiosity, a small group can coordinate without one player having to race ahead. Whether cross-platform invitations between specific services work is best confirmed inside the released game; storefront labels alone should not be treated as a guarantee of universal crossplay.
Cooking, crafting and exploration: What is the gameplay loop?
Explore the dungeon slowly
Behold Studios describes an interconnected, hand-crafted environment full of corridors, hidden rooms, puzzles and enemies. Observation matters. Examine unusual objects, retrace routes when you gain resources or information, and avoid assuming every obstacle requires a fight.
Gather resources and return to camp
The resources you carry out can improve your camp and let you craft practical tools. Planning the next expedition is part of the design. That separates the game from a standard run-and-gun dungeon crawler: an item that looks unimportant on one trip might open a route or support a recipe later.
Cook to prepare for another run
Cooking has mechanical value, not just decorative animation. The developer says meals and newly discovered recipes can affect player statistics. Its public description does not provide a definitive prelaunch recipe catalog, so articles promising exact best-food rankings or secret recipes before a verified build should be treated cautiously.
Is there a free demo on Steam?
Yes. The official Steam demo page advertises a roughly one-hour introduction. It supports trying the basic loop alone or joining other players in a demo multiplayer session. This can help you decide whether you enjoy methodical exploration before spending money.
Important demo limitation: The official demo description says there is no save-and-load between sessions; each start begins a new demo game. That statement concerns the demo. It does not prove that the full released game lacks saving. Likewise, nobody should promise demo progress carries over until the developer explicitly confirms a transfer feature.
PC requirements and compatibility checks
The Steam product page currently lists Windows 10 or 11, 8 GB of RAM and 2 GB of storage as baseline requirements, with 16 GB RAM in its recommended Windows specifications. It also shows macOS support. Those are storefront specifications supplied before release, not independent benchmark results. Performance can vary with hardware and settings.
Before purchasing on a handheld, distinguish between Xbox’s own handheld verification badge and testing on other handheld PCs. Look for your exact platform in official compatibility tools and user reports after launch.
