## Key points

- Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor launches on PlayStation 5 on October 7, 2026, and on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 on October 9, 2026, per Ghost Ship Publishing / Funday Games press via Swipe Right (29 September 2026).
- Knockout Expansion adds the Brawler class, Sandblasted Corridors biome, and Brood Harvest mission (Dreadnought Empress), named in the same press and in Steam’s September 30 Knockout post.
- Steam frames Knockout as paid DLC Coming soon alongside a free base-game update; Steam DLC app 5269530 shows Coming soon with no day — this brief invents neither a Knockout ship date nor day-one console parity.
- Distinct product from mainline Deep Rock Galactic Season 07/08 roadmap coverage — Survivor is the auto-shooter spin-off already on Steam, Xbox, iOS, and Android per the press.

*Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor* just locked near-term console windows. Ghost Ship Publishing and Funday Games’ [Swipe Right press dated 29 September 2026](https://www.mynewsdesk.com/uk/swipe-right/pressreleases/deep-rock-galactic-survivor-announces-playstation-and-nintendo-switch-release-new-knockout-expansion-dlc-3469653) puts **PlayStation 5 on October 7** and **Nintendo Switch 1 and 2 on October 9**. Steam’s [app 2321470](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2321470/Deep_Rock_Galactic_Survivor/) remains the PC storefront spine; the press notes the game is already on Steam, iOS, Android, and Xbox. This brief is a **near-term console + expansion systems** wire — distinct from mainline *Deep Rock Galactic* Season 07/08 roadmap coverage.

Keep the press split: **Switch is October 9**, not October 7. Secondary headlines that collapse platforms to a single day do not override the Swipe Right primary here.

## Console windows — PS5 Oct 7, Switch Oct 9

The citeable lock is short. **October 7, 2026** for PS5; **October 9, 2026** for Switch and Switch 2. Funday producer Jacob Laurits Besenbacher Kjeldsen is quoted in the press on expanding to those platforms after the Survivor 1.0 year — corroborative color only; dates come from the release paragraph, not the quote. Steam’s Knockout post notes PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch play “as soon as next week,” with a footnote that some regions may be delayed due to platform rollout — hedge as printed; it does not rewrite the press dates.

## Knockout: Brawler, Sandblasted Corridors, Brood Harvest — Coming soon

Same morning, Steam’s [Coming Soon: Knockout Expansion](https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2321470/view/1845383656376963) post (and the Swipe Right feature list) name the systems package: **Brawler** (melee-focused class), **Sandblasted Corridors** biome, and **Brood Harvest** mission against the **Dreadnought Empress**. Steam is explicit: Knockout is a **paid DLC** coming soon **alongside a free update** to the base game, with more detail “in the weeks leading up.” Steam [DLC app 5269530](https://store.steampowered.com/app/5269530/) shows **Coming soon** — no day. This brief invents neither a Knockout ship date nor Knockout day-one on consoles.

If October 7 / October 9 or Knockout’s calendar moves, Ghost Ship, Funday, PlayStation, or Nintendo moves it first. Until then, Survivor’s console near-term is the split window above, and Knockout stays Coming soon — paid DLC plus free base update, systems named, day unknown.

## Questions and answers

**When does Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor come to PS5 and Switch?**
Swipe Right press for Ghost Ship Publishing and Funday Games dates PlayStation 5 for October 7, 2026, and Nintendo Switch 1 and 2 for October 9, 2026. Do not collapse Switch to October 7.

**What is Knockout Expansion?**
Press and Steam’s Coming Soon post name a new Brawler melee class, the Sandblasted Corridors biome, and the Brood Harvest mission featuring the Dreadnought Empress. Steam says Knockout is paid DLC coming soon with a free update to the base game; no day is stated.

**Is this the same as Deep Rock Galactic Season 07?**
No. This brief covers Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor (auto-shooter spin-off) console windows and Knockout. Mainline Deep Rock Galactic Season 07/08 is a separate roadmap on a different product.
