Deep Rock Galactic is a space dwarf mining simulator at its best, thanks in part to the game's support with free updates since its Early Access launch nearly five years ago (the game's full release is in 2020). February 28 is a momentous occasion, as the game will be celebrating the launch of its newest game, Deep Rock Galactic, To celebrate, the game will host an event from March 2 to 16 with lots of decorations and rewards for the bearded heroes.

The developers will also add something even more unusual: the original version of the game, released in early 2018." "Maybe you're feeling nostalgic and want to experience it back in those early days of glory," Ghost Ship Games writes (opens in new tab)." Or maybe you want to evaluate everything that has been added since launch by actually comparing how different the game is today."

Few games offer such an opportunity. While there may be reasons for some games to seek out and play older versions that have not been patched, it is rare that a developer is willing to go back and offer something that has been improved over the years. I started playing Deep Rock Galactic long after the game had become popular, because it was a game I had never played before, and I had no idea what I was getting myself into, and I had no idea what I was getting myself into.

The quality of free updates for Deep Rock Galactic is such that players have the most unusual problem of figuring out how to give the developers more money. That's why the fifth anniversary jamboree includes the game's second Supporter Pack: "the most decadent, most luxurious, and most supportive package of cosmetic DLC and additional goodies, which will be available for free to all players of the game.

The developers will be live streaming the 5th anniversary from their offices in Copenhagen to discuss "DRG's past and future," stating that celebration does not mean resting on any laurels. 'We are not slowing down Deep Rock Galactic,' he said. On the contrary, we have never been so busy creating exciting new things for this five-year-old labor of love."

Deep Rock Galactic's third season launched last year, transforming miners into grenade-robbing doctors (as PCG's Joshua Wolens wisely points out, "Miners are nothing more than rock doctors.") (opens in new tab)), another game that has gained momentum over the years and continues to sell at an incredible rate, with over 2 million people (opens in new tab) in 2022 deciding that tunneling through asteroids with a team of bearded dwarves is what I consider a good time It's also one of the best-selling games of all time. At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised if it returns again for its 10th anniversary. Perhaps the developers will release the game as is in 2023.
