Raccoon co-op is getting a firm date. Curve Games and Coyote House Games say Dumpster Gang launches December 3 on PC through Steam and the Microsoft Store, and it will be available day one on Xbox Game Pass for PC. A demo is already live on Steam if you want to try the trash life early and see whether the co-op loop sticks.
What Dumpster Gang is
Dumpster Gang is a 1 to 4 player co-op sandbox about raccoons surviving in the city. You scavenge, dodge “the Exterminator,” and decorate a hideout with whatever you drag home. The tone is light and chaotic, closer to a party sandbox than a hard survival game, which is why Curve is leaning so hard on the multiplayer pitch.
The new PC release date trailer from Curve Games shows the December 3 window and points players at the Steam page, where the demo is listed alongside the full game.
Where you can play
On launch day the game will be on Steam and the Microsoft Store. Game Pass for PC gets it the same day, which should help the co-op find groups quickly. Curve has not announced console versions yet.
Dumpster Gang is also part of a busy indie showcase week. The IDXBOX Showcase returns October 20 with 18 games, and Curve’s December date puts the raccoon sandboxes in the same holiday window a lot of smaller PC titles are aiming for.
Why December works
A midweek December 3 date on Game Pass is a smart slot for a four-player co-op game. Friends are already looking for something light to play together over the holidays, and a free demo now gives Curve a few weeks to convert curiosity into wishlists before launch.
If the demo clicks for you, December 3 is when the full Dumpster Gang hits PC.
